Hello,
thank you for your reply. I have used following command :

g_msd  -n POPC.ndx  -lateral z -o POPC_msd.xvg -mol POPC_diff.xvg

Trajectory has 10000 frames and the system it was ran on is Fedora Red Hat 5.4.
Indeed my network administrator was very unhappy about comsumed memory.

I'd guess that using only part of your trajectory at one time (g_msd -b -e, or pre-condition with trjconv) will lead to less memory usage - although the implementation of this code should not require 600GB unless you actually have many millions of atoms.

Hi Slawomir,

That's quite a usage of memory! Can you provide more information? Like
the number of frames in the trajectory, the command line you used, and
the system you ran on?

Cheers,

Tsjerk

Hi GMX Users,
I am writting this email, beacause I think the g_msd program in Gromacs 4.5.4 
bears a problem. I was calculating the MSD od center of mass of POPC in 
membrane (system contains 274 POPC lipid molecules in all-atom force field) 
from 50 ns trajectory and it seems to consume great amount of memory. With  
time of calculations the memory reserves are gradually devoured to the extent, 
in my case,  of over 600 GB (than my administrator of cluster killed the 
process). It seems that it does not release memory and it's pilling results up 
with steps  in memory. Have you heard of such case?
Best wishes,
   Slawomir--
