Dear all,

I have encountered noticeable differences while using the pull code with the -shuffle -sort options in parallel, as opposed to running in serial or in parallel without the options. Using -shuffle -sort, the dynamics of the molecule of interest appears to be unaffected by the pulling potential. Without the options, the molecule can be seen to be correctly pulled in the desired direction. I'm using version 3.3.1, and this problem is present in both single and double precision versions.

One idea is that deshuf.ndx should be modified to include the pulled molecule reference group. A search of the mailing list archive and manual didn't find this issue addressed. Suggestions would be appreciated.
A representative pull.ppa file used:
verbose = no
runtype = umbrella
group_1 = NNC
reference_group = REF_MCS
reftype = com
pulldim = N N Y
k1 = 5000.0
pos1 = 0 0 0.0

and the programs are invoked with:

grompp_d -sort -shuffle -np 4
mpirun -np 4 mdrun_d -v -pi pull.ppa -pn index.ndx

Regards,

Steve Fiedler
