Hi everyone,

For MBAR analysis I need to calculate the energy of several trajectories
using the prmtops from other simulations. I expect there will be some
discrepancy in energy because the simulations use double precision and the
NetCDF files are in single(?) precision, but I don't know how much. As a
check on this, I recalculated the energy with same prmtop as the one that
generated the trajectory (this should remove the error during comparison
anyway right?). However, I think I'm seeing a several kcal/mol difference,
which seems too high to me, but I could also be comparing the wrong
structures/energies. Does anyone see something wrong here?

>From dynamics (ntwx = 500):

 NSTEP = 500 TIME(PS) = 601.000 TEMP(K) = 307.02 PRESS =
0.0
 Etot = -20117.6204 EKtot = 4832.0403 *EPtot =
-24949.6607*
 BOND = 0.0000 ANGLE = 0.0000 DIHED =
0.0000
 1-4 NB = 0.0000 1-4 EEL = 0.0000 *VDWAALS =
3722.3892*
 *EELEC = -28672.0499* EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
 Ewald error estimate: 0.4011E-04
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The FIRST energy printout when using imin = 5 with the SAME prmtop and the
mdcrd file as -y:

   NSTEP ENERGY RMS GMAX NAME NUMBER
      1 *-2.4959E+0*4 1.3900E+01 7.1542E+01 O 4601

 BOND = 0.0000 ANGLE = 0.0000 DIHED =
0.0000
 *VDWAALS = 3730.5768* *EEL = -28689.6470* HBOND =
0.0000
 1-4 VDW = 0.0000 1-4 EEL = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000

Here is the input for dynamics:
 production for TI/FEP
 &cntrl
   nstlim = 600000, dt = 0.002,
   ntpr = 500, ntwx = 500,
   ntwr = 600000,
   ioutfm = 1, iwrap = 1,
   ntc = 2, ntf = 2, tol = 1e-8,
   cut = 10,
   ntt = 2, temp0 = 310.0, tempi = 310.0, vrand = 2000
   /
 &ewald
   ew_type = 0, order = 6,
   nfft1 = 50, nfft2 = 50, nfft3 = 50
 /

And the input for re-calculating the energy
 Calculate Energy with other Hamiltonian for TI/FEP
 &cntrl
   imin = 5,
   maxcyc = 1,
   ioutfm = 1,
   ntf = 2,
   cut = 10
   /
 &ewald
   ew_type = 0, order = 6,
   nfft1 = 50, nfft2 = 50, nfft3 = 50
