Re: [AMBER] error on equilibriation

Akshay,

The error message has important information that should help you in
understanding and resolving the issue.

You seem to be running an NPT simulation (?) and the volume of the
periodic box has changed significantly (therefore the density). Read the
message "The GPU code ..." carefully. So your choices are to run the
simulation on CPU (slower but more robust) or split your NPT run into
multiple runs with smaller number of steps (which may help or may not).

The next steps fail because they could not find the coordinate files --
perhaps they were expected restart coordinates from the failed simulation?
