[gmx-users] No scale up beyond 4 processors for 240000 atom system

2007-10-09 Thread maria goranovic
Hello,

I was wondering what the scale up was with GROMACS 3.3.1 on 8 or 16
processors. Here are my benchmarks:

Hardware: Dell PowerEdge 2950, 2x 2,66Ghz Intel Woodcrest CPUs, 8 GB Ram, 2x
Gigabit Ethernet

GROMACS 3.3.1: 24 atoms, PME, 1.0 nm real cutoff

processors   ns/day
1   0.141
2   0.253
4   0.409
8   0.232
16  0.107


Do I need to recompile with some other options ? Or is this the best I can
get ? Will another type of network improve performance ? It seems
communication is the rate limiting step for 8 or 16 cores ?

Thank you for the help,

-Maria

[gmx-users] Wall Potential

2007-10-09 Thread Huey Ling Tan
Hi all,

I am trying to simulate multiple (2 or 3) tetrapeptides in a cage with
Gromacs.

However, I would like to constrain the peptides to the centre of the box by
enforcing a wall potential in which each of the atoms of the peptide feels a
repulsive potential with respect to the edge of the box (or a spherical
cage).

I am wondering is Gromacs able to perform simulations with such conditions?
Any other alternative suggestions with similar functions are greatly
appreciated.

Many thanks.

So this is 4 cores sharing one ethernet connection?
With such a setup you will never get good scaling.
You need something like an Infiniband network.

Gromacs 4.0 will give a big improvement, but I don't know how much.

perhaps the two Gigabit NICs were bundled somehow. But I guess this 
doesn't work out-of-the-boxplug'n'play. And latency and not bandwidth 
may be limiting in this case.

Re: [gmx-users] only one cpu works in my linux cluster

Yeah.
Check the machinefile tells mpich what you think it does.  It looks pretty 
certain to be an issue with mpich rather than gromacs.  Unfortunately, I don't 
use mpich any more because I find LAM better.  Standard procedure, turn up the 
verbosity on everything, check the outputs, re-read the relevant manuals.

[gmx-users] limit on energygrp_table

2007-10-09 Thread Adrien Leygue
Dear Gromacs users (and developpers)

I need to use a force field, derived from ab initio methods, for which
the non-bonded interactions between the different atom types is a
modified 3-parameters LJ potential.

As this kind of potential is not implemented within Gromacs I am using
fully tabulated user defined potentials V_i_j for the non bonded
interactions between atom types i and j. The problem is that I have
many different atomtypes (on the order of 20) and therefore I have to
input many groups in the energygrp_table field of my mdp file.

When I run grompp I have a message saying that there is a limit on the
(254 if I remember correctly) on the number of groups that I can have
in  the energygrp_table field.

-Is there a way to increase this limit (by changing a constant and
then recompile) ? or is it more complicated (from the value 254 one
could guess that there is some one one-byte optimization)

-If the above solution is not an option, is there a simple way to
modify the Gromacs source code to use these more advanced potentials
while keeping good performances.

-Any other suggestion?

Thank you for your help.


Adrien.

This is indeed a on-byte optimization.
The group numbers are stored as uchars (include/types/atoms.h).
You could change this, then you also have to change 2 or more other files
for the io and communication of these numbers.


-If the above solution is not an option, is there a simple way to
modify the Gromacs source code to use these more advanced potentials
while keeping good performances.


This depends on what combination rules you have for your parameters.
If you are lucky, you can use the buckingham 3-parameter setup
and modify the plain C buckingham innerloops to calculate your functional 
form.

[gmx-users] simulating Hexadecane in water

2007-10-09 Thread Adam Fraser
Hello,

I'm very new to Gromacs, and I am interested in simulating the interactions
of 2 hexadecane (C16H34) molecules in water (SPC/E specificall).  I've spent
some time experimenting with tutorials in Gromacs, but I've found little
help in non-protein simulations like this one.

I have built topologies for hexadecane compatible with NAMD, so I figure I
should be able to do the same in Gromacs but I'm fuzzy on how to go about
doing so.  I also don't know what forcefield I should be using for this sort
of system.

I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some pointers on how to
get started here.

Thanks very much,

Well, even if you probably don't appreciate it right now it's a very  
good thing (TM). Gromacs tries to use your default MPI compilers  
(typically mpicc, but you can set it in the variable MPICC), but for  
some reason it isn't even possible to compile a small program to  
check the size of an integer.


Check config.log and try to find out what's wrong with your MPI- 
enabled compiler.


Cheers,

Erik

double-checking input for internal consistency...ERROR: The cut-off   
length is longer than half the shortest box vector or longer than   
the smallest box diagonal element. Increase the box size or decrease  
 rlist.There were 3 warnings


This means exactly what it says. Did you read this carefully? your  
rcoulomb=1.4 therefore your box needs to be longer than 2.8nm, but  
this error message is telling you that it is not. Therefore make your  
box bigger. Try this:

editconf -f popc.pdb -o popc.gro
tail -1 popc.gro
-- here you see your box dimensions.
WARNING: don't make your box 2.8001nm since it will likely shrink a  
little if you are doing constant pressure.
WARNING: did you even turn on constant pressure? I think not. However  
you have set some variables for constant pressure ... this is not the  
same as turning it on. Look at the mdp options for pressure coupling.


WARNING: Once you change your box size (the source of the error) then  
grompp is going to allow you to continue past the warnings (the atom  
names don't match). If your topology is still incorrect then your next  
error will be about a 1-4 interaction that is larger than 1nm. But  
that won't actually be the source of the problem... the source of the  
problem is that your topology is incorrect.


SUGGESTION: make a simple test system with one lipid and one water and  
no PBC. If you can go through grompp and a short mdrun then you can  
have some measure of faith in your topology.

Re: [gmx-users] No scale up beyond 4 processors for 240000 atom system

2007-10-09 Thread Diego Enry
Low cost tip:
Ask your cluster administrator if it is possible apply channel bonding
to the Gigabit interfaces. You need two network switches for that to
be efficient (a cut-through switch may also help). It increases
network bandwidth by 70%. It also helps to use Cat6 cables.

You may try this MPICH compilation:
./configure --with-device=ch3:nemesis --enable-fast --disable-cxx
--enable-error-checking=no CFLAGS=-O3 FFLAGS=-O3

There is patch to run PME faster over ethernet... maybe that paper
from Dr. Carsten that Dr. Christian suggested.

High cost tip:
Migrate to Infiniband.


Anyone tried GotoBLAS ? Does it work well with GMX ?

 Hi all,

  So this is 4 cores sharing one ethernet connection?

 perhaps the two Gigabit NICs were bundled somehow. But I guess this
 doesn't work out-of-the-boxplug'n'play. And latency and not bandwidth
 may be limiting in this case.

  With such a setup you will never get good scaling.
  You need something like an Infiniband network.

 Or check:

[gmx-users] grompp error

2007-10-09 Thread chris . neale

ERROR: The cut-off length is longer than half the shortest box vector
or longer than the smallest box diagonal element. Increase the box
size or decrease rlist.


try to Increase the box size or decrease rlist.  = as ERROR  
message suggests


Yes, technically you could decrease rlist (rcoulomb actually in this  
case), but in that case make sure that you know what you are getting  
into. I would advise against that unless you are sure that you  
understand the implications. I think that this is a particularly  
dangerous error message and should be modified in future gromacs  
distributions.


PS, I see that you actually do have the line:
pcoupl   = berendsen
which I had not seen previously when I said:
WARNING: did you even turn on constant pressure? I think not.  
However  you have set some variables for constant pressure ... this  
is not the  same as turning it on. Look at the mdp options for  
pressure coupling.

So I was incorrect there.

[gmx-users] Criteria and Energy Conservation

2007-10-09 Thread gtroiano

 Dear GROMACS Users,

 I'm trying to use GROMACS to get some MD snapshots for single-point quantum
mechanical calculations, trying to observe HOMO-LUMO gap of a protein immersed
in water with counterions, at a given salt concentration (4600 atoms in total).
I'd like to know if they are reliable enough to send to QM calculations. I've
got two questions: Which are the criteria I should be looking at? And one of
them I've analyzed was energy conservation (I'm doing 300K NVT MD, with 10A
cutoff for vdw and coulomb, with PME electrostatics, and double precision), and
the manual says a Ekin RMSD/Tot Energy RMSD ratio below 0.05 is fine, but I've
got 0.3-0.5 in all simulations I've done. What should I do?

 Thanks in advance,

 Gustavo Troiano Feliciano

[gmx-users] Re: 3.3.2 trjconv -ur compact -pbc whole problem

2007-10-09 Thread JW Feng
GMX users,

In 3.3.1, I used trjconv -ur compact -pbc whole   to convert a
rhombic dodecahedron box so it could be displayed properly in VMD.
This does not appear to be working in 3.3.2.  Is there another way to
convert a box so it displays properly in a visualization program?

This is the command that I used,
 echo 0 | trjconv -ur compact -pbc whole -f 1fsv_heat300.gro -s
1fsv_heat300.gro -o 1fsv_heat300_visual.gro

Thanks,

[gmx-users] How to change the box size during simuation

Hey,
  Now I'm simulating infinite molecules. I want to change the box size a lit
bit every time step so as to induce some stress in this system.
  Is there any way in gromacs to do this, apart from modifying the code?
Thanks in advance.

Re: [gmx-users] Fatal error: Atom CA not found in residue LYSH200 while adding hydrogens

2007-10-09 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
Hi Haining,

This has nothing to do with gromacs. The information is in the .pdb file
(use a text viewer/editor). Before starting any simulation, you have to know
what you're intending to simulate. The model, the .pdb file of it. How the
structure was solved, etc., etc. The paper should also state which parts of
the molecule were not (well) resolved. In case you have missing atoms and
residues, you have to find a way to deal with that (model them in, for
example).

Did you run the tutorials mentioned on the Gromacs site?

 Tsjerk,

 I just started to learn Gromacs. But how do I check the missing atoms?

 Thanks,

  Did you check the structure for missing atoms/residues (REMARK 465/470)?

[gmx-users] anisotropic pressure coupling for temperature annealing

2007-10-09 Thread Q733
Dear gmx-users, I used anisotropic p-coupling for lipid bilayers and annealed 
the system from 330K-300K at the ratio of 2 degree/ns.And the x dimension and y 
dimension increased with time in the whole procedure, but actually the 
area/lipid should decrease when tempreture decreases. I think there may due to 
the P couple parameters I used. Now I write them here:

 tau_p   =  2.0  2.0 2.0 0   0   0
compressibility =  4.5e-6   4.5e-6  4.5e-6  0   0   0
ref_p   =  11   1   1   1   1

Is there anything wrong with my parameter? or should I use


ref_p   =  11   1   0   0   0   

I saw someone use this ref_p  before.

Any suggestion will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

tau_p and ref_p only take one parameter. The form for compressibility
varies with pcoupletype. See manual section 7.3.14
