Re: [AMBER] Required time for a typical MD run

Morteza,

What exactly do you mean by a long time? Your system is fairly small, but
50 ns can still take a fair bit of time depending on the machine you're
running on.

I don't see anything in your input that jumps out as contributing to a long
runtime (I'd consider putting in ig=-1 and iwrap=1, though).

Best,

Kenneth
