Hi,
This means that your checkpoint file was generated with a single processor
simulation,
while you are now running a two processor simulation.
This is no problem at all.
For the 4.0.4 release I changed:
"Continuation still works,"
to
"Continuation is exact,"
Note that you don't need -f and -e with tpbconv when using checkpoint.
Also you do not need tpbconv at all when you make nsteps large enough and use
mdrun -maxh
Note that there is a bug in 4.0 - 4.0.3 where the initial box size is stored in
the checkpoint
file with running in serial. Therefore checkpointing will give artifacts for
serial NPT simulations.
NVT and parallel NPT simulations are fine.
I hope that 4.0.4, which fixes this, will be out soon.

Subject: [gmx-users] Problem with continuation of files using checkpoint
files
Dear All,
I am doing protein simulations using Gromacs4.0.2. For continuation or
extension of runs, i am using tpbconv command. In the manual its given that for
exact binary identical run, one needs to use checkpoint file with mdrun. So,
for the tpbconv generated file when I am using checkpoint. I am getting
warnings as below. Gromacs is parallelly installed, but I am using on single
node.
> tpbconv_4 -s md_1.tpr -f md_1.trr -e md_1 .edr -o md_2.tpr -extend 2000.0
> mdrun_4 -s md_2.tpr -cpi md_1.cpt -deffnm md_2.tpr &
I am getting the message as:
Reading checkpoint file md_1.cpt generated: Thu Feb 12 08:42:50 2009
Gromacs binary or parallel settings not identical to previous run.
Continuation still works, but is not guaranteed to be binary identical,
see the log file for details.
Gromacs binary or parallel settings not identical to previous run.
Continuation still works, but is not guaranteed to be binary identical.
Looking at the log file:

#PP-nodes mismatch,

If anyone can please suggest, what might be the problem. What is meant by PP
nodes mismatch?
Thanks in advance.
