Hi,

I removed the noimage from script and added the parmbox info plus the angles as you said and the problem is solved.Thanks a lot!
May I ask what do you mean by 'corner case' and how can I learn more about the algorithms that cpptraj uses to analyze bonds,dihedrals and ....

Thanks in Forward
Amir

Hello Everyone,

After reading through some of the old mailing list threads regarding the various workarounds for ntr =1 and nmropt=1, I still need some clarification.

I have an NVT prod.in as show below:

NVT prod
&cntrl
  irest=1, ntx =5,
  nstlim=5000000, dt=0.002,
  ntpr=500, ntwr=500, ntwx=500,
  temp0=300.0,
  ntt=3, gamma_ln=5, ntb=1, ntp=0,
  ntc=2, ntf=2, ig=-1,
  cut=9,
  ioutfm = 1,
  iwrap=1, nmropt=1,
  ntr=1,
&end
&wt type='END' /
DISANG=rst.dist

Now I wish to add cartesian restraints, following the snippet here: http://ambermd.org/Questions/constraints.html into my rst.dist file as seen below:

# N373 D69 VS
&rst
  ixpk= 0, nxpk= 0, iat= 5235, 6651, r1= 0.00, r2= 0.00, r3= 6, r4= 7,
      rk2=0.0, rk3=25.0, ir6=1, ialtd=0,
&end
... (lines removed)
# A150 F244 VS
&rst
  ixpk= 0, nxpk= 0, iat= 2310, 9472, r1= 0.00, r2= 0.00, r3= 6, r4= 7,
&end
Hold GPCR fixed
20.0
RES 1 708
END
END

However whenever I run this the follow error occurs:

   5. REFERENCE ATOM COORDINATES

  default_name
    ----- READING GROUP 1; TITLE:
DISANG=rst.dist

     rfree: End of file on unit 5

If someone could provide some input on how to achieve this I would greatly appreciate it.

Best,
Parker

Update:

A little ordering fixes everything! Both the harmonic restraints and distance restraints are being read and applied according to the out.file

NVT prod
&cntrl
  irest=1, ntx =5,
  nstlim=5000000, dt=0.002,
  ntpr=500, ntwr=500, ntwx=500,
  temp0=300.0,
  ntt=3, gamma_ln=5, ntb=1, ntp=0,
  ntc=2, ntf=2, ig=-1,
  cut=9,
  ioutfm = 1,
  iwrap=1, nmropt=1,
  ntr=1,
/
&wt type='END' /
DISANG=rst.dist
&end
Hold lipid fixed
10.0
RES 1 384
END
END

However now I'm encountering a new CUDA related problem:

Error: an illegal memory access was encountered launching kernel kClearForces
cudaFree GpuBuffer::Deallocate failed an illegal memory access was encountered

Is it possible for one of the CUDA developers to provide insight into this?

Best,
Parker

The group cards for cartesian restraints go into the mdin file, not into the

Note that the program thinks the DISANG card is the title for the cartesian
restraints; so somehow it is not reading the NMR-like restraints correctly.
The first thing you need to do is set ntr=0, and make sure that you are
getting the NMR restraints correctly processed. Follow the example in the
$AMBERHOME/test/nmr directory.

By far the simplest thing to do for cartsian restraints is to set them
in the cntrl namelist:

   ntr=1, restraint_wt=20., restraintmask=':1-708',

Then there is no need for any GROUP input.

Beyond this:

You could try using the correct "/" rather than the obsolete (and never
standard "&end" to end namelists. But that is probably not the source of the
problem. You may need to let us know which program you are running
(sander or pmemd?) and which version. Posting the entire mdout file is
probably also required...there is something subtle that is preventing your
file from being parsed correctly.

Hi David,

Thank you for the input. I've adjusted the input per your suggestion as follows:

NVT prod
&cntrl
  irest=1, ntx =5,
  nstlim=5000000, dt=0.002,
  ntpr=500, ntwr=500, ntwx=500,
  temp0=300.0,
  ntt=3, gamma_ln=5, ntb=1, ntp=0,
  ntc=2, ntf=2, ig=-1,
  cut=9,
  ioutfm = 1,
  iwrap=1, nmropt=1,
  ntr=1, restraint_wt=20., restraintmask=':1-708',
/
&wt type='END' /
DISANG=rst.dist

The only problem now is that when I run pmemd.CUDA the follow error occurs:
Error: an illegal memory access was encountered launching kernel kClearForces
cudaFree GpuBuffer::Deallocate failed an illegal memory access was encountered

I'm currently using the most recent version of AMBER14 (updated and recompiled today) with NVIDIA Driver Version: 340.32 and Cuda compilation tools, release 6.5, V6.5.12 (I'm running arch so rolling back is difficult, but I'm trying now to 5.5)

Dear All

This is a provisional note that we are considering running an AMBER
Workshop in conjunction with the NBCR and NVIDIA at the University of
California San Diego. The provisional dates are Dec 15th to the 18th.

This is tentative at present but I wanted to give those interested a heads
up to save these dates if interested.

More details to follow.

All the best

Hello everyone,

My rpoblem is not directly related to MD but as I use Amber cpptraj to analyze my data, I wondered may some one could have some help!!

I have a CG model of DNA in xyz format and I am using cpptraj to do some measurements on bonds,angles and dihedrals.The problem is, for example, when I calculate the base interdistances with piece of a script I have, in some frames the distance is calculated with the image of particle at the end of the box, like say my box is 136A. so if the usual BB distance is between 5-7A is some frames it jumps tp 136.
I have added parmbox information to the script but the problem still exists.
any help or suggestion is highly appreciated.

Thanks in Forward

Dear all,

I wounder to ask some suggestions about possibility to improve my launch
script aimed on the running of several similations.

e.g my current protocol use simple looping over the dir with the
simulations to run sh file in each folder which is call for the pmemd etc
for each system

#!/bin/bash

# set workdir with proteins
dirr=/home/gleb/Documents/script
simulations=/home/gleb/Documents/script/Simulations



#run each simulation
for sim in $simulations/* ; do
  simulation=$(basename "$sim")
  echo "Simulation of ${simulation} is in a progress!"
  cd $sim
  chmod +x ./${simulation}.Sh
  ./${simulation}.Sh
  echo "Simulation of ${simulation} has been finished"
done

how this script can be improved to i) avoid call sh from the another sh?
ii) to run several jobs in parallel corresponded to the number of available
GPU of my workstation ?

Thanks for help,

James

Hi,

Thanks a lot! I was indeed using an older version of cpptraj (14.01). I updated and recompiled and it is working now.
I took a deeper look at my output and just as you said both masks are processed: the reference mask when the action is initialized and the target mask in the 'ACTION SETUP FOR PARM' section during processing, so it was working as well.

Thank you for your help!

Best,

Guillaume

Hi,

What version of cpptraj are you using? It should be 14.09. The
segfault you describe sounds a lot like an issue that was fixed in
update 6 for AmberTools 14.

On Thu, Sep 25, 2014 at 2:39 AM, Guillaume Roellinger <roellinger.bio.mx> wrote:

I tried to add parmindex for each mask but it did not work. Switching both masks did not work [rms reference :6-270.CA :1-265.CA] and the output let me think that only the first mask is taken into account and the second mask is just ignored:
> [0: [rms reference :1-265.CA :6-270.CA out RMSD.dat]

Both masks are processed. The first mask is always the target mask,
and the second mask is always the reference mask (as stated in the
manual). The reference mask for 'reference' is processed when the
action is initialized (near the top of your output). The target mask
is processed in the 'ACTION SETUP FOR PARM' section during processing,
which is what you were reporting.

> It would then explain why the mask switching did not work: if only the first mask matters, it is looking in both structures for :6-270.CA. In the structure with 271 residues, the masks corresponds to more atoms than in the second structure with 265 residues. Mismatch in the number of atom will cause rms to fail.

Without seeing your entire output I can't be sure what is happening.
Can you send it in an email or as an attachment?

The general idea here to avoid palatalization and just run jobs still being
in loop using 2 variables one corresponded to the looping over GPUs iDs and
the second to the folder of each simulation.
Below you could find two examples (unfortunately both still incomplete
because I'm not an expert in BASH)
#!/bin/bash
# set workdir with proteins
dirr=/home/gleb/Documents/script
simulations=/home/gleb/Documents/script/Simulations
#run each simulation in parallel using nested loop which might not be good
solution : here the problem that some condition should be provided to avoid
using >1 simulation on the same GPU
#
i=0 # the number of first GPU which will be used!
while i < n ; do # the maximum number of the available GPUs on the machines
# m.b n also might be obtained using some command ?
# !!!!some condition should be specified to pass sharing SAME GPU between
different md runs !!!
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES "$i"
for sim in $simulations/* ; do
   simulation=$(basename "$sim")
   echo "Simulation of ${simulation} is in a progress on ${i} GPU!!"
   cd $sim
   chmod +x ./${simulation}.Sh
  ./${simulation}.Sh &
   echo "Simulation of ${simulation} has been finished"
  done
done
# alternatively possibility to do the same taks using 2 variables within
one FOR loop-> here we must have the same number of the GPUs and MD jobs.
for i in {0..$n},  sim in $simulations/* ; do # it seems that problem here
in the syntax!!!
  export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES "$i"
  simulation=$(basename "$sim")
  echo "Simulation of ${simulation} is in a progress on ${i} GPU!"
  cd $sim
  chmod +x ./${simulation}.Sh
./${simulation}.Sh &
  echo "Simulation of ${simulation} has been finished"
  done
So I'll be very (very!!) thankful for possible suggestion regarding both
cases
Kind regards,
James

Another update - I've switched from CUDA 6.5 to 5.5, however the error remains the same:
Error: unspecified launch failure launching kernel kClearForces
cudaFree GpuBuffer::Deallocate failed unspecified launch failure
Is it possible that because both my cartesian restraints (only on chain A) AND NMR restraints (tethering chain B to chain A) affect some of the same residues that PMEMD.CUDA is crashing and that this combination is not possible?
Best,
Parker

Hi David,
Thank you for the input. I've adjusted the input per your suggestion as follows:
NVT prod
&cntrl
  irest=1, ntx =5,
  nstlim=5000000, dt=0.002,
  ntpr=500, ntwr=500, ntwx=500,

  iwrap=1, nmropt=1,
  ntr=1, restraint_wt=20., restraintmask=':1-708',
/
&wt type='END' /
DISANG=rst.dist
The only problem now is that when I run pmemd.CUDA the follow error occurs:
Error: an illegal memory access was encountered launching kernel kClearForces
cudaFree GpuBuffer::Deallocate failed an illegal memory access was encountered
I'm currently using the most recent version of AMBER14 (updated and recompiled today) with NVIDIA Driver Version: 340.32 and Cuda compilation tools, release 6.5, V6.5.12 (I'm running arch so rolling back is difficult, but I'm trying now to 5.5)

Note that the program thinks the DISANG card is the title for the cartesian
restraints; so somehow it is not reading the NMR-like restraints correctly.
The first thing you need to do is set ntr=0, and make sure that you are
getting the NMR restraints correctly processed.  Follow the example in the
$AMBERHOME/test/nmr directory.
By far the simplest thing to do for cartsian restraints is to set them
in the cntrl namelist:
   ntr=1, restraint_wt=20., restraintmask=':1-708',
Then there is no need for any GROUP input.
Beyond this:
You could try using the correct "/" rather than the obsolete (and never
standard "&end" to end namelists.  But that is probably not the source of the
problem.  You may need to let us know which program you are running
(sander or pmemd?) and which version.  Posting the entire mdout file is
probably also required...there is something subtle that is preventing your
file from being parsed correctly.

By default, cpptraj uses the minimum image convention when computing
distances (unless you use the keyword "noimage").  If you are getting
wonky distances, perhaps your box is not correctly defined?
Your cpptraj output should provide information about your files (like,
for instance, any box information that may be present).  Does it look
right to you?

Jason

What happens if you turn off all of the restraints?  Does it work?
Does it work with the CPU?  Here is a good workflow for debugging
pmemd.cuda issues:
1. Run the pmemd.cuda test suite and make sure that the tests run, and
the majority pass (and that the failures are small differences). (This
should really be step 0, since hopefully you've already done this part.)
2. Does the pmemd.cuda simulation fail reliably?  That is, do you get
the EXACT same behavior every time? (i.e., it fails on the same step
with the same error message, and yields identical energies each time if
it gets that far?)
3a. If the answer to 2 is "no", download and run the GPU validation test
suite.  If that test fails, RMA your bad GPU and skip to step 6.  If the
test passes, continue to 3b or 4.
3b.  Try reducing the feature set of your simulation to make sure
"plain" molecular dynamics works.  If "plain" MD works, try adding the
"extras" separately until you find the minimal combination that fails.
This will help narrow down where to look.
4. Run the problematic simulation using pmemd on the CPU.  Does it fail?
5a. If it fails, have a look at the error message -- pmemd and pmemd.MPI
are very often better at giving informative error messages than
pmemd.cuda (which often just says the equivalent of "something went
wrong").
5b. If the CPU works, then the problem is more likely (although still
not certainly) a problem with pmemd.cuda, so consult this list, giving
as much detail as possible (including what you've done so far).
6. Have a beer.  Or a glass of milk.
Of course there are more things you can try -- like reducing ntpr and
ntwx to very small numbers (e.g., 1) so that you can visualize what is
happening each step leading up to the crash (you may have to run some MD
to get your system "close" if it happens after thousands of steps).
Hope this helps,
Jason

if you look at your PDB file, you'll see that there are H atoms listed only
for NLEU, not for any other residue. also, these H atoms all have the same
name. Perhaps you might want to look into the source of this pdb file, and
see if those H atoms really should be in your file or not. If so, you need
to tell Amber which atom each of these H's are, since it doesnt' really
have a way to figure it out if the names are all just "H".

To expand/simplify what Carlos said:
Your PDB file has a atom named "H" in the first resdidue.  But the
IUPAC/PDB/Amber nomenclature for an N-terminal amino acid does not have any
such atoms: the three hydrogens bonded to the "N" atom are called H1, H2, and
H3.
So, the PDB atom names don't match the library atom names, and tleap doesn't
know what to do, and quits.
As Carlos said, the simplest thing to do is just to remove the "H" atom
from the PDB file.  Another option is to use the "reduce" program first.
Even better would be to get in the habit of using "pdb4amber" before running
tleap.

---> without a 'wait' here the echo line below will immediately be printed
because you backgrounded the previous command. The better way to do this
is to put the GPU loop as the inner loop and the simulations as the outer
loop. And include a 'wait' after the done on the inner loop. This will
work reasonably efficiently as long as the simulations take similar wall
clock times. The alternative is to have an actual fork in your bash script
- run it in multiple threads or using 'parallel' - I forget the syntax. Or
alternatively run two completely separate bash scripts, or install a
queuing system.
Note if you set the GPUs to exclusive process mode (nvidia-smi -c 3) then
you do not need to set CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES. pmemd.cuda will automatically
select a free GPU. However this will disable multiGPU runs using peer to
peer so you need to set it back to default (nvidia-smi -c 0) if you want
to run pmemd.cuda.MPI.

Hi,
You've come across a corner case. The problem is that since the
trajectory only contains box lengths (no angles), cpptraj by default
checks the topology to determine what kind of box is present. However,
since you are presumably using your PDB file as your topology (which
has no box info), cpptraj doesn't know what kind of box it is. In the
end the coordinates are read in fine, but the box information is not
used because cpptraj doesn't assume the box is orthogonal.
The 'parmbox' command can help, but since you only gave it lengths
(not angles) it still has no idea what the box type is. Add 'alpha 90
beta 90 gamma 90' to the 'parmbox' command to set an orthogonal box.
Hope this helps,
-Dan
