Hello everyone

I'm wondering how long a typical MD run will be using Amber. It seems
something is wrong in my relatively short-size model as it takes a long
time to be simulate for 50 ns. Even if I split the simulations into 10
stages, it is beyond my expectations. These are the information for my
simulation:

No. of solute atoms: 160
No. of water molecules: 2950
No. of ions: 2
PBC: Yes
Total simulation time: 50 ns
---------------------------------------
MD Control parameters:

 &cntrl
  imin = 0, irest = 1, ntx = 5,
  ntb = 2, pres0 = 1.0, ntp = 1,
  taup = 2.0,
  cut = 12.0, ntr = 0,
  ntc = 2, ntf = 2,
  tempi = 300.0, temp0 = 300.0,
  ntt = 3, gamma_ln = 1.0,
  nstlim = 25000000, dt = 0.002,
  ntpr = 25000, ntwx = 25000, ntwr = 100000
---------------------------------------
Job submission command to run in a cluster:

INPUT=md2.in
OUTPUT=ACNT44_md2.out
PARM=ACNT44.prmtop
INPCRD=ACNT44_md1.rst
RESTART=ACNT44_md2.rst
MDR=ACNT44_md2.mdcrd

mpiexec -n $CORES pmemd.MPI -O -i $INPUT -o $OUTPUT -p $PARM -c $INPCRD -r
$RESTART -x $MDR
