 You have to find your optimum making some tests with your settings. To do that you can start your simulation and interrupt after a while to have some data logged in the log file. Then, from the information in that log file you can
 estimate the time that the whole task will take and compare using more or less number of processors until you find your optimum value.Of course, that while should be at least of the order of several
minutes. There is a set-up cost borne once at the start of the calculationwhich is not proportional to the length of the calculation, so you need torun long enough to get out of the time period during which it dominates
the linear component.Mark___gmx-users mailing listgmx-users@gromacs.org

[gmx-users] g_order C code

2006-09-14 Thread priyanka srivastava
Dear Gromacs users,
Hie,

I am calculating the order parameters for a bilayer
patch using g_order analysis tool in gromacs version
3.3.

I have a total of 48 elements in the patch and I want
the order parameter value for each and every element
i.e. a total of say 48 values for order parameter
alongwith the average which g_order reports. 

I tried to fiddle with the code too and tried changing
the following section as follows:

/* average over frames */
  for (i = 1; i  nr_tails; i++) {
   /* svmul(1.0/nr_frames, (*order)[i],
(*order)[i]);*/
fprintf(stderr,Atom %d Tensor: x=%g , y=%g,
z=%g\n,i,(*order)(index[i])[XX],
(*order)(index[i])[YY],
(*order)(index[i])[ZZ]);


and also:

sprintf(buf,Deuterium order parameters);
slOrd = xvgropen(cfile,buf, Atom, Scd);

for (i = 1; i  nr_tails; i++) {
  fprintf(ord,%12d   %12g   %12g   %12g\n, atom,
order(index[i])[XX],
  order(index[i])[YY],
order(index[i])[ZZ]);
  fprintf(slOrd,%12d   %12g\n, atom, -1 *
(0.6667 * order(index[i])[XX] +
 0.333
* order(index[i])[YY]));

The problem is I am not sure if that is the right way
of doing this. Please suggest me something. Also once
these changes have been incorporated in the C program
how do I generate the exe of g_order. Gcc gives many
undefined errors.

Please suggest me something,
regards,
Priyanka.

 Probably your interconnects between nodes are using carrier pigeons or
 something :-) I expect that 1 cpu on machine A will require around four
 times as long as 1 4-cpu node, which you can presumably test for yourself.

 For next time, if you want to compare hardware like this, either use the
 same length of time or the same number of MD steps for all of your runs.
 Also when reporting runtimes, make it clear whether you are reporting
 walltime or some time * number_of_cpus, etc. :-)

Search the mailing list i have post several times benchmark results for 
different systems with standard benchmark suite.

gromacs?




Well, probably it is a combination of bottlenecks in both software and 
hardware.

Both of them should be optimized to guarantee the best performance. From the
hardware side the delays in inter-node communication across the network can
be the reason. But also, it can be related with software issues related to 
the operating
system and network configuration. I think that the first thing to do is work 
in cluster

setup to achieve the best performance for your hardware configuration.

In addition, take into account that inter-node communication between two 
CPU's
inside the same machine should be faster than between two CPU's across the 
network.


From the software side (Gromacs) the algorithms should be optimized with 

regard
to the parallel programming model. David said in a previous answer that they
have detected some problems in the software implementation and they are 
working

to solve that issue in the next version of Gromacs.

[gmx-users] short range nonbondeds = 0 in power4

2006-09-14 Thread Atte Sillanpää

Hi,

I've run into a mysterious problem. The versions 3.3. and 3.3.1 compile and 
execute, but the short range coulomb and LJ energies come out as zero when 
using the mpi-version. Serial code works ok (mpi version gives zero if run 
using just one cpu). No errors, no warnings.


I've tried using both fftw 2.1.5 and 3.0.1, tried dropping the optimization 
level to -O1, -qstrict, --disable-ppc-altivec, ...


The config options were (e.g.) as follows:

setenv CPPFLAGS -I/v/aix52_rs/appl/math/fftw/fftw-3.0.1_32/include
setenv LDFLAGS -L/v/aix52_rs/appl/math/fftw/fftw-3.0.1_32/lib
setenv MPICC mpcc_r
./configure --prefix=/wrk/gmx --program-suffix=_mpi --enable-mpi 
--disable-nice --enable-threads -with-fft=fftw3



From the beginning of the config.log:


hostname = p690m
uname -m = 00105CDA4C00
uname -r = 2
uname -s = AIX
uname -v = 5

/usr/bin/uname -p = powerpc
/bin/uname -X = unknown

/bin/arch  = unknown
/usr/bin/arch -k   = unknown
/usr/convex/getsysinfo = unknown
hostinfo   = unknown
/bin/machine   = unknown
/usr/bin/oslevel   = 5.2.0.0
/bin/universe  = unknown

We don't get the kind of errors described earlier for power4 on the list. I 
actually managed to make a working mdrun_mpi from 3.3 last year using the same 
options, but after poe/ppe/... update on the power4 machine I get this odd 
behaviour also on the 3.3 version. Any ideas? What to tweak, where to look?


Cheers,

Atte

As suggested by you I tried using the g_angle. But got tucked. It asks for a .ndx file. I tried making it using mk_angndx but gave me an error when i used the option -type phi-psi. Although it worked well when I used the option dihedral instead of phi-psi. The .ndx file has strange nomenclature which i didn't followed. [ Phi=180.0_2_33.5 ] or [ Phi=0.0_3_3.77 ] Please suggest.As you said problem with the analysis program g_rama. I looked for g_rama as well as g_chi .. its mentioned in the g_chi option that the phi psi calculation are different from the conventional calculations. Instead of C'(i-1)-Ni-CAi-C'i , H-N-CA-C' is used and similarly its different for the psi as well. But it also states that it is different from the g_rama.

Re: [gmx-users] CHARMM force field implementation in Gromacs :

2006-09-14 Thread Nicolas SAPAY
Thanks for your answers (I had forgotten this comment in the script).

The problem is that most of dihedral with multiplicity n = 6 don't come
alone. For exemple in Arg :

HD1 HE
||   |//
  --CG--CD--NE--CZ
|| \
HD2

is defined by 6 dihedral with n=6 (CG-CD-NE-HE, ..., HD2-CD-NE-CZ) They
are all of the same type (X-CT2-CT2-X). So, if I understand well, the
result should be OK since, for example, CG-CD-NE-HE and CG-CD-NE-CZ are
not a combination of different type of dihedrals with n = 6.

The problems happen when a combination of different types of dihedral are
used (for example if CG-CD-NE-HE is of type A and CG-CD-NE-CZ is of type
B). In this case, one possibility is to hack the Gromacs code by allowing
a 6th Ryckaert-Bellemans parameter (?)

Cheers

Nico


 Hello,

 I have noticed that both in the Yuguang Mu's and the Mark Abraham's
 work,
 the periodic parameters of dihedral angles have been converted into
 Ryckaert-Bellemans ones. I have tried to find more info about this in
 the
 CHARMM and Gromacs documentations but I have not found much. Why
 exactly
 this conversion should be done since the periodic potential is
 implemented
 in both force fields? My problem is that several dihedral angles cannot
 be
 easily converted in RB parameters since their multiplicities is equal to
 6
 and the RB potential implemetation is limited to 5 constants.

 To quote my own code comment,

 # We need some elaborate functionality to convert the CHARMM dihedral
 type
 # of k * (1 + cos(n * xi - delta ) ) functions summed over n into
 something
 # GROMACS can implement. While the above functional form exists in
 # GROMACS, you can't have more than one function of this type, and
 # CHARMM has a number of dihedral interactions that require more than
 # one such function. However for delta = 0 or pi and n = 5, then the
 above
 # cosine function can be expanded in powers of cos xi, and the
 coefficients
 # of the expansion can be summed in this conversion and presented to
 # GROMACS as a ready-made Ryckaert-Bellemans dihedral. In practice, this
 # works because CHARMM only uses such delta and n values for atom type
 # combinations that need multiple functions of the above form. Warnings
 # are issued when delta is some other value, and the algorithm dies if
 # n is  6. In order to simplify GROMACS logfile output so that it only
 # has to report one sort of dihedral term for most simulations, all
 # dihedral terms with n = 5 are expressed as R-B, even when not
 necessary.
 # Dihedrals with n=6 are left in periodic form, since it is not possible
 # to convert these to R-B form when the summation is limited to the
 # fifth power of cos xi.

 So if you have a single dihedral over a set of atoms that has n=6 then
 you can leave it in periodic form and the only cost is that you have to
 remember that the output will likely have both periodic and R-B
 dihedrals.
 If you have one such a dihedral in combination with others n6 then you
 can use a combination of periodic and R-B. If you have multiple dihedrals
 with n=6 you will need to hack the source code, except in some trivial
 cases, perhaps.

Dear All
Hi.. 
This is in regard to your previously replied mail regarding the use of 
GROMOS96 or OPLS-AA or AMBER force field.
As you said it depends upon the users taste which one to use. This 
means that the three on a broad manner should give convergence of 
the analyzed data set. 
Infact from my simulation runs using oplss-aa and gromos96, I didn't 
found that. I tried using the GROMOS96 and opls-aa force field on my 
small peptides for a period of 20ns and found that with opls-aa even 
the phi-psi combination of the individual amino acids were incorrect. 
Actually this always puzzled me to make a choice for the Force field.  
The rest of the script was unchanged for the two runs.
Could you please comment on the above results? Is there any way really 
to judge which force field is to be chosen for particular type of 
analysis?

Best regards
Nav



what do you mean with incorrect? your question is quite vague.

the g_rama program works only for GROMOS like force fields unfortunately 
but that doesn't mean the phi/psi are wrong.


Could you please give more detail why g_rama program works only for
GROMOS like force field? To my understanding, the reason to get
different values of phi/psi by using g_rama or g_angle is that the
definition of phi/psi in g_rama is not in a conventional way. If we
define phi/psi in the same way as g_rama, I believe g_angle will give
the same answer. No matter which force field is used, these two methods
will give different values. Is my understanding correct?

because atom names are hardcoded. if you give g_angle the right 
definitions in the index file it will work correctly.


All the best!


Dongsheng


 What would be the correct 
result anyway? Maybe your peptide unfolds.

Hi again,

the short range energies come out as zero with all electrostatic methods 
cut-off, PME, shift. But only the short range. Other components get some 
numbers (and you _can_ continue the simulation for at least thousands of 
steps).




can you try a small water box on one processor?
just to eliminate problems. if you can simulate, that means the forces 
are correct (or zero too...) try printing the forces in other words.

just do one step with all output turned on.

[gmx-users] Question about use of tpbconv

2006-09-14 Thread Joanne Hanna
Hi

I have a quick question. When you use tpbconv to continue runs what exactly is 
taken from the *.edr and *.trr files? For instance if I have to run my 
simulation in short batches of 1ns is it sufficient to just use the run3 files 
to continue the run (2ns-3ns) or should thr run1, run2 and run3 files by 
concatenated and then a run4 file generated using the complete edr and trr 
files.

Thanks

[gmx-users] CHARMM force field : TIP3 LJ parameters

2006-09-14 Thread Nicolas SAPAY
Hello everybody,

sorry to bother you with my problems another time. I have checked the
non-bonded parameters from Yuguang Mu's ffcharmmnb.itp. The parameters for
TIP3 atoms (CHARMM's water model) are :
  c6c12
HT 1.008 0.000 A  3.1539699357e-09  1.2921281844e-17
OT15.999 0.000 A  2.4895403920e-03  2.4347673691e-06

I obtain exactly the same thing according to the combination rule #1 and
my own version of the charmm ff.

The differences happen when the pair HT..OT is combined in
[nonbond-params] (using comb-rule #1 and function #1). Yuguang's
parameters are :
  c6c12
HTOT   1  4.3824474706e-05  1.3719498873e-09

while I obtain :
  c6c12
OTHT   1  2.802131e-06  5.608950e-12

according to chapter 5.6.1, the computation should be C_ij^(M) =
sqrt(C_i^(M) . C_j^(M)) with M = [0,6]. So, for the OT..HT pair :
C_ij(6) = sqrt( 2.490e-03 x 3.154e-09 ) = sqrt( 7.852e-12 ) = 2.802e-06
C_ij(12)= sqrt( 2.435e-06 x 1.292e-17 ) = sqrt( 3.146e-23 ) = 5.609e-12

Has Someone an idea about this difference? Have I missed something? I have
checked several other pairs (with or without CHARMM's 1-4 parameters) :
the problem seem to be limited to the OT..HT pair

cheers

Nicolas

Correct. A dihedral is defined by the four atoms, the functional form 
and the parameters. The energy profile of rotation about the CD-NE bond 
is a linear combination of however many dihedrals it is, which is a 
quite different thing.



The problems happen when a combination of different types of dihedral are
used (for example if CG-CD-NE-HE is of type A and CG-CD-NE-CZ is of type
B). In this case, one possibility is to hack the Gromacs code by allowing

This is not a problem. None of these dihedral functions occupy the same 
space, in that (by the above definition) they have a different set of 
four atoms despite having the same functional form and central atoms.


The potential problem comes because the [ dihedraltypes ] section of 
either the .top file (or the *bon.itp file that is #included) does not 
allow multiple dihedral functions of the same functional form to apply 
to the same set of four atom types - grompp just uses the last one 
defined. As David correctly points out (and I learned something here!), 
you can define multiple dihedrals of the same form for the same set of 
four *atoms* (not atom types) in the [ dihedrals ] section of the .top 
file. You have to read chapter 5 closely to pick that up though (5.6.1 
and 5.7.2). So yet another solution to the general problem would be for 
a script to post-process the CHARMM .top file to correct the dihedrals 
where multiple periodic functions apply to given set of four atom types.

[gmx-users] Why RMSFs of some protein chains in my system are unreasonably large?

2006-09-14 Thread Hu Zhongqiao



Dear 
all,

I finish a 10-ns MD 
simulations for a system including 16 lysozyme molecule chains, some solvents 
H2O molecules and 128 Cl- counter ions under PBC. When I use the command to 
calculate the RMSF of residues as follows:

g_rmsf -f ***.xtc -s 
***.tpr -o rmsf_res.xvg (I selected 3 for groups)

The results showed 
that 3rd and 14the chain had RMSF 1.2-2nm, which is obviously unreasonable. But 
compared with other chains, these 2 chains have the basically same peak places. 
The difference is that RMSFs of residues in these 2 chains are systematically 
much higher. Is there a bugresulting ina systematic error 
orany other reasons?Any suggestions are welcome. 
Thanks,

RE: [gmx-users] Surface Tension Calculation

2006-09-14 Thread Dallas B. Warren
  I posted a question a few days ago regarding the 
 calculation of the surface tension of a lipid bilayer in 
 Gromacs.  The response that I got was to use the option 
 #Surf*SurfTens in g_energy.  I am not really sure how to do 
 this.  I have looked at the g-energy file in Gromacs, and I 
 don't see any option that is #Surf*SurfTens.  Maybe the 
 file name is wrong, or I am running an older version of 
 Gromacs or something.  Let me know if is there is a way to 
 calculate the surface tension of a lipid bilayer within the 
 Gromacs program, or if it is necessary for me to modify the 
 code.  (The more detailed the better. I am new to Gromacs)

I case no-one else responds  by the sound of it, whether the surf
term is present within the energy file will depend on the type of
pressure coupling you are using.

Re: [gmx-users] Surface Tension Calculation

Hi,
 I posted a question a few days ago regarding the calculation of the
surface tension of a lipid bilayer in Gromacs.  The response that I got was
to use the option #Surf*SurfTens in g_energy.  I am not really sure how
to do this.  I have looked at the g-energy file in Gromacs, and I don't see
any option that is #Surf*SurfTens.  Maybe the file name is wrong, or I am
running an older version of Gromacs or something.  Let me know if is there
is a way to calculate the surface tension of a lipid bilayer within the
Gromacs program, or if it is necessary for me to modify the code.  (The
more detailed the better. I am new to Gromacs)
yes, print the diagonal terms of the pressure tensor, and assuming you 
surface is normal to the Z-axis you have

gamma = (Pzz - (Pxx+Pyy)/2) / Lz
where Lz is the box length. If you have two surfaces you have to divide 
by two.


Thanks,
Mike Tomasini

Hi Joanna,

You can use your last *.tpr/trr/edr files to continue a simulation. The only 
thing to be aware is if the integrity of the last files is conserved. If not 
(for example after a system crash), you should exclude the last frame in 
order to avoid inconsistencies.


Regards,
César.-

Subject: [gmx-users] Question about use of tpbconv
To: gmx-users@gromacs.org
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Hi

I have a quick question. When you use tpbconv to continue runs what 
exactly is taken from the *.edr and *.trr files? For instance if I have to 
run my simulation in short batches of 1ns is it sufficient to just use the 
run3 files to continue the run (2ns-3ns) or should thr run1, run2 and run3 
files by concatenated and then a run4 file generated using the complete 
edr and trr files.


Thanks
Jo
