Dear Nick,
I'm not an AMBER code developer but my guess is that this nstlim length is about the limit for any integer number (of 32-bit)...
Check this out: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,147,483,647]
So it may be a computational limitation rather than a code one...
Best,
Matias

Asunto: Re: [AMBER] AMBER ntslim limit
Dear Matias and Amber users,
2) several days ago I tried to start a 5 microseconds production run
simulation of a small protein
in implicit solvent (igb=8) but a runtime error occured:
At line 717 of file mdin_ctrl_dat.F90 (unit = 5, file =
'abk_gb_ProdRun5us.in')
Fortran runtime error: Integer overflow while reading item 4
Error termination. Backtrace:

#15 0xffffffffffffffff in ???
So the item 4 was actually ntslim; neither 2500000000 nor 3000000000 worked,
only run with ntslim=2000000000 could be started.
I have found reports of similar issues in the Amber mail reflector
but just wanted to make it clear.
P.S. Matias, thank you for the answer on the 1st question
Kind regards,
Nick

Dear Nick,
1. A similar issue was already addressed in [
https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_can_I_reduce_temperature_oscillation_in_NVT_ensemble_simulation_of_FPMD
]
According to thermodynamics, the temperature fluctuation in a closed system
containing N atoms is proportional to 1/sqrt(N), that is essentially what
you expect from a normal distribution as is the case in a proper canonical
ensemble (I mean "proper" if you are not using the Berendsen thermostat).
Hence, the larger the system the smaller the temperature fluctuations...
That is the reason why in implicit simulations you expect larger
fluctuations comparing to explicit ones...
Just to give you an example: for a system of 1300 particles you would
expect a fluctuation of 1/sqrt(1300) = 0.02773501 (or 2.7%), so running at
300?K the RMS(T) is ~ 300 * 0.02773501 ~ 8?K
2. I don't understand this question... are you not able to set more nstlim
steps? Then you can just continue the simulation up to the desire time...
Best,
Matias

Asunto: [AMBER] Temperature RMS, ntslim limit
Dear Amber users and developers,
1. is the temperature RMS=10.0K within the limits for a good quality
simulation conducted in implicit solvent? This is the mdin file:
Stage 2 equlibration 0-5ns
&cntrl
imin=0, irest=1, ntx=5,
ntc=2, ntf=2, ig=-1, ntt=3,
tautp=0.5, tempi=300.0, temp0=300.0,
ntpr=500, ntwx=500, saltcon=0.15, ntb=0,
igb=8, gamma_ln=1.0, cut=999., rgbmax=999.
/
I just noticed that RMS(T) of explicit solvent simulation was remarkably
lower...
2. Is ntslim=2 000 000 000 really a limit for the input?
Kind regards,
Nick
