Hey,
Yeah, so I am not totally sure how much the energy is drifting because there is a lot of noise. The temperature drifts by 60K is 120ps roughly. Also, I am using an explicit solvent model/solvation sphere. From what I understood, this warranted using ntb=0 and igb=0. If that's not the case, please let me know. Also, I don't really want to write the results every step. Those comments are residual from when I was debugging something. I think dsum_tol = 0.000001 is also from something else, but I didn't bother removing it because it has no impact on the calculation.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
Could you provide some more details? Could you quantify what you mean
by substantial drift? The options ntb = 0 and since it's not
explicitly set igb = 0 imply you're running your calculation in vacuum
- is that correct? If so, your cutoff (16.0) seems really low,
especially for a 25K atom system - also note that Amber force fields
were not designed with vacuum calculations in mind, so you should be
cautious in interpreting your results.

If you really want to be writing this stuff every step (as your
comments imply) these should be set to 1, although that's really only
useful for debugging purposes.

Since you're not using the PME code (ntb = 0) this option has no effect.
