Hi ,

I am getting the following error when I try to run in parallel (I've tried with 8 and 2 nodes and get the same).

Not all bonded interactions have been properly assigned to the domain decomposition cells

But my simulation works when I run in serial.

I'm using gromacs 4.0.5. I am working on a mesoprous silica which I define as a single residue (each atom is assigned to a single charge group).

I've tried changing table_ext in the .mdp file (I first increased it to 2.5 and then 30) following advice on previous forum posts but I still get the same thing.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix this? I could run in serial but it would take too long.

I also get a NOTE: Periodic molecules: can not easily determine the required minimum bonded cut-off, using half the non-bonded cut-off

Is this part of the same problem or a different thing altogether?

I've pasted my md.log file below

Thanks

The number of constraints is 800
There are inter charge-group constraints,
will communicate selected coordinates each lincs iteration

There are 3236 inter charge-group exclusions,
will use an extra communication step for exclusion forces for PME

The initial number of communication pulses is: X 1 Z 1
The initial domain decomposition cell size is: X 2.01 nm Z 1.90 nm

The maximum allowed distance for charge groups involved in interactions is:
                 non-bonded interactions           1.500 nm
            two-body bonded interactions  (-rdd)   1.500 nm
          multi-body bonded interactions  (-rdd)   1.500 nm

When dynamic load balancing gets turned on, these settings will change to:
The maximum number of communication pulses is: X 1 Z 1
The minimum size for domain decomposition cells is 1.500 nm
The requested allowed shrink of DD cells (option -dds) is: 0.80
The allowed shrink of domain decomposition cells is: X 0.75 Z 0.79
