Hello AMBER Users,
I am experiencing an issue with minimization using sander.MPI. It gives a
segmentation fault error, and when I go to read the corresponding
minimization mdout file, the last lines are in Section 3:
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 3.  ATOMIC COORDINATES AND
VELOCITIES--------------------------------------------------------------------------------default_name
                                                                    begin
time read from input coords =     0.000 ps Number of triangulated 3-point
waters found:  1396247*
It may be worth mentioning that this simulation system (which I refer to as
*sdstest1* in all files) contains 125 surfactant molecules, 125 sodium
counterions, and 1.39 million TIP3P water molecules in a ~346 angstrom cube
(to create a 5 mM surfactant aggregation system)
I have also run a second test (*sdstest16*) corresponding to an 80 mM
surfactant solution (125 surfactant molecules, 125 sodium counterions, and
87,040

completed minimization in sander.
In the sdstest16 minimization mdout file (successful), its section 3
reads:

This leads me to believe that the segmentation fault for *sdstest1*
occurred while dividing atoms among processors. I have ruled out the
possibility that there are fewer available processors than requested (24),
as I ran sdstest1 on my computer which had 48 available processors at the
time of the run.
I have included all .inpcrd, .prmtop, minimization .mdin, minimization
.mdoutand command files for both sdstest1 and sdstest16. Any help/insight
as to why sdstest1 is failing minimization is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your continued help and support!
