Hello,

I am having this memory problem for my DFTB3/MM simulations of some
small systems, dipeptide, ACE-X-NME.

The dipeptide is centered in a water sphere of a radius of 25 angstrom,
and the simulations were run with
Amber 18 (compiled using gcc 8.2 and OpenMPI 3.1.3)

Here are my input file:

  &cntrl
    imin = 0 , nstlim = 100000, irest = 1, ntx = 5, dt = 0.002 ,
    ntt = 1 , temp0 = 300.0, tautp = 1.0,
    ntp = 0 , pres0 = 1.0, taup = 1.0,
    ntb = 0 ,  cut = 20.0 ,
    ntc = 2 , ntf = 2,
    ntwx = 500, ntpr = 500, ntwr = 500,

    ntr = 0 , restraint_wt = 1.0,
    restraintmask=':1-3 & !.H=',

   ivcap=0,  ifqnt=1,
  /
  &qmmm
   qmmask=':1-3',
   qmcharge=0 ,
   spin = 1 ,
   qm_theory='DFTB3',
   qmcut = 20.0 ,
   qmshake= 1 ,
  /

The simulation crashed at the last 500 steps, but for some dipeptide,
the simulation can be finished successfully.
For the crashed simulation, it could work if I restart the simulations.

I also tried to run with ntc=ntf=1 and dt=0.001, the simulation also
crashed due to the same error.

Could some one give me some tips on how to fix the problem? Thanks a lot!

All the best,
Qinghua
