Hi All,
I am hoping to be able to get some clarity for this thread so that we can
start to look at what might actually be going on here. Right now there are a
lot of theories but no real concrete examples to back things up.
Specifically I would appreciate it if someone who sees this NAN problem
could take their simulation and run the following:
1) NTT=3, NTB=2 - This one we already know the problem exists.
2) NTT=3, NTB=1 - This is NVT and will rule out the barostat if the problem
still exists.
3) NTT=1, NTB=2 - This is NPT but NOT using the random number stream. If
this crashes it means the problem is likely in the barostat rather than the
random number stream.
4) NTT=1, NTB=1 - This is NVT not using the random number stream. If this
crashes then both my theories are wrong.
5) NTT=0, NTB=1 - This is NVE, if this crashes then we are in a whole world
of pain...
I want to find out specifically which simulation modes show problems and
which do not. I am 'hoping / assuming' that the problem is restricted to
either NPT calculations or Langevin simulations or possibly NPT with
Langevin. However, I need someone to carefully try these options and
document the issue. Everyone's help is greatly appreciated.
All the best
Ross
