Hi Amy!

Thanks so much for the suggestion. Something went wrong in the writing of the cpout files. Here’s what I found:

I went to grep “Solvent pH” and got:
Binary file 001/phremd_1.cpout matches

This is true for all four replicates for this particular run (indexed with “1”).

But when I open he cpout file with vim, it looks like a normal text file.

My next step was to analyze the pH listed for each residue. To do that, I needed to convert the binary files to text files with:
tr -cd '\11\12\15\40-\176' < phremd_1.cpout > phremd_1_text.cpout

Then I ran:
grep -E "Residue\s+[0-9]+\s+State:\s+[0-9]+\s+pH:\s+[0-9]+\.[0-9]+" yourfile.txt | sort -k6,6n

And I found that some of the lines were wrongly formatted; for example:

Residue 9 State: 0 pH: 15.500Residue 21 State: 1 pH: 14.000

Residue 9 State: 0 pH: 15.500RResidue 10 State: 1 pH: 15.500

RResidue 10 State: 1 pH: 15.500

Residue 10 State: 1 pResidue 16 State: 1 pH: 14.500

Residue 19 State: 0 pHResidue 16 State: 1 pH: 15.000


I find similar irregularities in the original file that grep thinks is in binary:

Residue Residue 40 State: 0 pHResidue 2 State: 1 pH: 15.500

It looks to me like something went wrong with the synchronization where multiple processes were writing simultaneously to the file. What do you think?

What troubles me is: Why? I’ve ran dozens of pH-REMD simulations on the same computer and this is the only instance of this problem.

I think I’m going to re-run this simulation. But if there is someway I can know how to prevent whatever happened, that would be great because the simulation takes about a day.

Best,
Matthew

Hi Matthew! I might be wrong, but I think this warning message often appears when there’s a problem with the first line in the cpout files, “Solvent pH”, which is, when the data in your cpout files contain a pH that’s not reported in the first line of any of the provided cpout files. If you’re very sure that the data in your cpout files are correct, you can re-distribute the data by your own codes without looking at Solvent pH at the beginning.

Subject: [AMBER] Unclear cphstats warning


Dear AMBER community,

I ran a 4-way pH-REMD in two chunks (indexed as 0 and 1). When processing the output form the second of these chunks with the following command:
cphstats --fix-remd reordered_1 001/phremd_1.cpout 002/phremd_1.cpout 003/phremd_1.cpout 004/phremd_1.cpout

I get:
WARNING: not all data records were assigned to a specific cpout file
        this can happen, for instance, if you did *not* provide all
        of the replica cpout files to cphstats to process. Check
        your results carefully!

But I did provide the cpout file for each of the four replicas. Something else is presumably wrong. How can I figure out what is causing the warning? I’ve run the same command in other directories for differ 4-way replicas and many more chunks and get no warning. Something seems to have happened in this particular case.

Best,
Matthew
