also your PME reserved nodes are probably too much or your wasting space, but I 
am not sure if this effects the domain decomposition or if all 20 nodes are 
thrown into that?

This is not really the issue. You can read in the OP's output that there are 20 PP and 12 PME nodes, which is a normal enough ratio, and fine for a 0.29 PME load...

If the OP is confident that his initial configuration really doesn't have such a long bond (no input checkpoint file messing things up?) he should try again with GROMACS 4.5.5.

Betreff: [gmx-users] Domain decomposition in FEP
Dear all,

I'm trying to run FEP calculation of the ligand in the protein in water.
Performing NVT-dynamics for Lennard-Johnes perturbation using soft core
results in the following error:

There is no domain decomposition for 20 nodes...

I've checked out the log-file and found this:

Initial maximum inter charge-group distances:
     two-body bonded interactions: 1.474 nm, Bond, atoms 4371 4391
  >  multi-body bonded interactions: 0.522 nm, Ryckaert-Bell., atoms 3747
3756
Minimum cell size due to bonded interactions: 1.621 nm
Guess for relative PME load: 0.29
Will use 20 particle-particle and 12 PME only nodes
This is a guess, check the performance at the end of the log file
Using 12 separate PME nodes
Scaling the initial minimum size with 1/0.8 (option -dds) = 1.25
Optimizing the DD grid for 20 cells with a minimum initial size of 2.026
nm
The maximum allowed number of cells is: X 3 Y 3 Z 3

Program mdrun_mpi, VERSION 4.5.1
Source code file: domdec.c, line: 6428
Fatal error:
There is no domain decomposition for 20 nodes that is compatible with the
given box and a minimum cell size of 2.02621 nm
Change the number of nodes or mdrun option -rdd or -dds
Look in the log file for details on the domain decomposition

I understand that distance of 1.474 nm is rather big for bond! BUT I can't
find such a distance between atoms 4371 4391. The fragment of gro-file for
such index interval looks like this:

   640LIG     C4 4371   2.897   3.416   3.072

   640LIG    C15 4386   3.028   3.095   3.182
   640LIG    C16 4387   3.123   3.049   3.275
   640LIG     O2 4388   2.566   2.759   3.559

   640LIG     O4 4390   2.680   2.530   3.655
   640LIG    C17 4391   2.791   3.426   3.184
   640LIG    C18 4392   2.834   3.453   2.937

and the actual distance is 1.55 A - quite OK for single C-C bond.

And another interesting fact is that it doesn't occur during FEP
calculation of the same system without soft-core and aimed at only charge
perturbation.

I will appreciate any help regarding this.
