Ray,
Thanks. I'll prepare the files and let you know.

Roman,

That's interesting ... do you mind sharing with us your data file so
we can reproduce your observation?

All the best,
Ray

Hello,
I have a peculiar problem with MMPBSA. I get the same results for GB but different results for PB depending on the number of processors I use.
Here is the summary:
The results of gb are identical regardless of the number of processors;
the results of pb depend on the number of processors:
gb pb
5proc -57.7880 -77.1179;
4proc -57.7885 -68.7393;
3proc -57.7866 -71.9419;
2proc -57.7888 -95.5026
1proc -57.7881 -176.9453

These are the final DELTA
The question is whether this is a problem with the implementation on our computers or a more fundamental problem.

The input file is:
Input file for running GB
&general
  verbose=2, strip_mdcrd=1, strip_mask=":WAT",
  entropy=0, startframe=1000, endframe=10000, interval=1000
/
&decomp
  idecomp=2, dec_verbose=3,
/
&gb
 igb=5, saltcon=0.150
/
&pb
 istrng=0.150
/

and the script (this case for 2 processors) is:

#!/bin/bash
#PBS -N MM_ALL
#PBS -j oe -V
#PBS -q para_std
#PBS -l select=2:ncpus=1
#PBS -m e

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/share/apps/intel/lib/intel64
export AMBERHOME=/share/apps/amber11
export PYTHONPATH=/share/apps/python2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages\:$PYTHONPATH
MMPBSA="/share/apps/amber11/bin/MMPBSA.MPI"
PYTHON="/share/apps/python27/bin/python2.7"
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

SUB="mpirun -np 2 $MMPBSA -O -i decomp_tb.in -o decomp_tb.dat -sp ../tryp_bpti_1000.top -cp ../GENR/tryp_bpti_nw.top -rp ../tryp_nw.top -lp ../bpti_nw.top -y ../tryp_bpti_1000.trj -do decomp_tryp_bpti.dat"
echo $SUB
$SUB

Thanks for your help
