Hi,


I have been running single frame nmode analysis jobs on a series of complexes and have encountered an issue with my largest complex. The receptor is 562 residues/4373 atoms in size. The error I get upon job failure is:



FATAL: allocation failure in vector()

  File "/usr/local/amber14/bin/MMPBSA.py", line 104, in <module>
    app.run_mmpbsa()
  File "/usr/local/amber14/lib/python2.6/site-packages/MMPBSA_mods/main.py", line 218, in run_mmpbsa
    self.calc_list.run(rank, self.stdout)
  File "/usr/local/amber14/lib/python2.6/site-packages/MMPBSA_mods/calculation.py", line 82, in run

    self.prmtop))
CalcError: /usr/local/amber14/bin/mmpbsa_py_nabnmode failed with prmtop ../1ER_4IH7_dry.prmtop!
Exiting. All files have been retained.



It appears it is failing due to insufficient memory. I previously ran this job on a supercomputer cluster and it was killed due to excessive memory usage. It had been allocated 4gb of memory for that job. I then re-ran it on my local workstation with at least 8 gb of memory available for the calculation (and got the error above). What steps do I need to take to reduce the memory requirement to get the calculation to finish successfully?


Thanks,

Nick
