Re: [AMBER] running pmemd fails

From: Vijay Manickam Achari <vjrajamany.yahoo.com>
Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:25:55 +0000 (GMT)

I have tried to run the simulation using sander.MPI and pmemd using 16 and 32 nodes following the hint given by Case.

I found no difference in the output files by commands sander.MPI and pmemd using 16 nodes. Both showing same temperature, total energy, kinectic energy, potential energy and so on.

BUT there is a difference in the output files when I use 32 nodes using both commands. I noticed in the output file generated by command sander.MPI the temperature of NSTEP = 1 is 349.14K and Etot = 34557.6758 EKtot = 27485.1983 EPtot = 7072.4775.

Suprisingly, if I run by pmemd command, the temperature at NSTEP = 1 is 367.51K and Etot = 36003.2544 EKtot = 28930.7768 EPtot = 7072.4775. The temperature at NSTEP = 2 shows NaN and shows that Etot = NaN EKtot = NaN EPtot = 7172.0266.

I have put the results of output files below for your view.
