Hi Berk,
thanks for the trick. Unfortunately I'm not in my lab right now and 
can't open easily xterms over the network. I'll try to catch up once I'm 
back (end of December), unless Bernhard or Antoine find the solution.

Cheers,

Patrick

Hi,

You can do something like:
 mpirun -np 4 xterm -e gdb ~/check_gmx/obj/g_x86_64/src/kernel/mdrun

with the appropriate settings for your system.

You will have to type run in every xterm to make mdrun run.
Or you can make some scripts
(gdb -x gdb_cmds will read the gdb commands from the file gdb_cmds).

When you think it hangs, type ctrl-c in an xterm
and type where to see where it hangs.
I would guess this would be in an MPI call.

  I used gcc version 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8) (GCC).
  I recompiled it with CFLAGS=-g and it still hangs...
  Now, how can we run it in the debugger ?

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem under Fedora 9 on a dual-quadricore
(Intel Xeon E5430, 2.66 GHz) computer. Gromacs-4.0.2 is hanging (same
for gromacs-4.0.0) after a couple of minutes of simulation. 
Sometimes,
it even hangs very quickly before the simulation reaches the 
writing of

the first checkpoint file (in fact the time length before the hang
occurs is chaotic, sometimes a couple of minutes, or a few 
seconds). The
CPUs are still loaded but nothing goes to the output (on any file 
log,

xtc, trr, edr...). All gromacs binaries were standardly compiled with
--enable-mpi and the latest lam-7.1.4. As Bernhard and Antoine I 
don't

see anything strange in the log file.
I have another computer single quadricore (Intel Xeon E5430, 2.66 
GHz)

under Fedora 8 and the same system (same mdp, topology etc...) is
running fine with gromacs-4.0.2 (compiled with lam-7.1.4 as well). So
would it be possible that there's something wrong going on with 
FC9 and

lam-7.1.4...?
Cheers,
   
Patrick
   
Berk Hess a écrit :
 Hi,

 If your simulations no longer produce output, but still run
 and there is no error or warning message,
 my guess would be that they are waiting for MPI communication.
 But the developers any many users are using 4.0 and I have
 not heard from problems like this, so I wonder if the problem
 could be somewhere else.

 Could you (or have your tried to) continue your simulation
 from the last checkpoint (mdrun option -cpi) before the hang,
 to see if it crashes quickly then?

2008-12-17 Thread David Mobley
Chris,

 Also, if your C60 is hollow, I can imagine that it might
 exclude solvent atoms from the inside, in which case you are going to
 have a big convergence issue as solvent begins to interpenetrate with
 the C60, which may lead to noise problems when this starts to
 happen, whatever soft core functional form you use. This just means
 you will need to run longer simulations in this regime.

 Which makes sense. Do you know a reference for this phenomenon?

Er, no. You can reference a personal communication from me saying that
my data suggests this is likely. :) Personal experience tells me that
this would probably be the case but I haven't ever seen a publication
on this.

 Hello David, thanks for the reply!
 I am simulating the free energy of transfer of the C60, from ethanol to
 benzene.
 The softcore parameters, I used the are the same values of Tieleman et.al.
 (nature nanotechnology, 3, 363).
 At figure, each curve refers to a different solvent; one of them for ethanol
 and another for benzene.
 For lambda=0 I have the Coulomb and LJ parameters turn on and for lambda=1,
 turn off.
 I have found a large difference when simulating my system using sc_power=2.
 See in this link ( http://cromo.ufabc.edu.br/~fileti/web/dgdl-scpower.jpg )
 the comparison between
 plots from sc_power=1 and sc_power=2 for solute in benzene.
 Near 0 and 1, I believe that problem cancels out at difference, as can seen
 at
 ( http://cromo.ufabc.edu.br/~fileti/web/dgdl-transfer.jpg ) . Then the main
 problem, in my view,
 is in the intermediate region, where the plot presents a deep (-500 units)
 and noise minimum.
 Observe that in lambda=0, sc_power=2 reduce largely the derivative, but the
 critical region,
 one that makes the difference in calculation of the transfer free energy,
 remains the same,
 ie, the derivative still oscilates a lot and is not smooth.
 Are you believe that changing the value of alpha from 0.47 to 0.50 can
 resolve this?
 OK, there are several issues here.
 1) The noisy minimum in dV/dlambda
 2) The overall shape of dV/dlambda
 3) Other potential problems

 On (1), the noisiness of the minimum you refer to really means there
 are convergence problems for some reason -- probably correlation times
 are particularly long there. This may be helped by using the soft core
 parameters I mention, but I am not sure. See item #3.

 On (2), in general, the overall shape of dV/dlambda seems to be
 smoothest and best behaved with the particular soft core parameters I
 mention. We did a lot of testing on this (i.e., many values of alpha
 at each of several sc-power values).

 On (3), there are other thing that can go wrong when using soft core.
 See http://www.alchemistry.org/wiki/index.php/Best_Practices for some
 discussion, and see rule #2 in particular. If you have any partial
 charges on atoms in your C60 this could be a potential source of error
 and noise. Also, if your C60 is hollow, I can imagine that it might
 exclude solvent atoms from the inside, in which case you are going to
 have a big convergence issue as solvent begins to interpenetrate with
 the C60, which may lead to noise problems when this starts to
 happen, whatever soft core functional form you use. This just means
 you will need to run longer simulations in this regime.

 Anyway, long story short, I suggest two things: (a) Make sure you turn
 off partial charges on C60 (without using soft core) before turning
 off the LJ using soft core, and (b) use the soft core functional form
 I suggest.

 David

Re: [gmx-users] Free energy of transfer with accuracy

2008-12-17 Thread David Mobley
Eudes,

 But first I would want to know two things.
 1) The parameter sc-sigma of 0.5 is reasonable?
 How this parameter affects the shape of dvdl plot?
 You performed tests about it? I found little about
 it in the forum.

Check out the manual on what this parameter does. IIRC it only applies
to atoms which have sigma parameters of zero to begin with (i.e.
hydrogens) and so it really doesn't do much.

 2) In my tests, I realized that, simply changing the electrostatic
 interactions
 treatment (cut-off or PME), a large difference it was found at hydration
 free energy.

Of course. Long-range interactions make big differences in this sort
of thing. You should be using lattice-sum (i.e. PME) electrostatics if
you care about accuracy.

 With cutoff I have found 12.2kJ/mol while with PME, 24.0kJ/mol.
 The accepted value must be around 20kJ/mol).
 This to me was somewhat surprising, because, as mentioned above,
 C60 does not have charge, so that effect should be minimized or zero.
 In any case I assign it to the electrostatic of the solvent.
 I suppose the PME result is more reliable, it's ok?
 Do you know some work that explore the effect of the electrostatic of the
 solvent
 on the solvation free energy?

Treatment of long range electrostatics effects the solvent generally,
including the effective hydrogen bond strength and structure, solvent
density, etc. So it's not that surprising it should affect the
hydration free energy. Also, if you think about it, a hypothetical
water molecule at the center of a C60 will have very different
interactions with its environment depend on whether or not it sees
water far away. I would think it would cost more to create a cavity
with PME than without PME because of this effect, which I think is
consistent with the numbers you're giving (though you didn't specify
your sign convention).

The other thing that actually could affect this significantly is
treatment of long-range dispersion interactions. I have a separate
publication with Michael SHirts on that if you are interested (see
http://www.dillgroup.ucsf.edu/~dmobley).

In terms of effects of electrostatics on solvation free energy, I am
not sure whether anyone has studied this explicitly, but certainly the
effects of electrostatics on water structure generally are well known
and studied.

David


 Thank you

Don't worry this comment was probably based on personal/dogmatic believe
and not on actual data. TIP3p and SPC are pretty much of same quality.

SPC/E is probably better though.

From genion -h:

genion replaces solvent molecules by monoatomic ions at the position of the
first atoms with the most favorable electrostatic potential or at random.

That would explain how genion works, and what you must do to update the topology 
correctly.  If you have added 2 NA+, then you have also removed 2 SOL.

2008-12-17 Thread Vitaly Chaban
 what solvent topology do you use in your simulations? I`ve always used
 spc and had no problems with it. Though recently I`ve heard that tip3p
 is better. What do you suggest? What do you use?

I think it much depends on what exact properties you calculate. You
may calculate something very specific... I can
suggest you a lot of water models but I'm sure none of them is much
better than another ones. I don't consider that tip3p is the best one.

[gmx-users] RE: Gromacs 4 with mpi interface

2008-12-17 Thread Vitaly Chaban
 Can anyone give me a detailed notes on how to install gromacs 4 with mpi
 feature..I am using Intel Q9300 and fedora 10.It's very urgent as i am new
 to using gromacs plz give me as detailed note as possible..

The most primitive way would be probably
./configure --enable-mpi
make
make install

For more info please find and read the INSTALL file in the gromacs installation
folder.

Re: [gmx-users] What water topology is worth using?

2008-12-17 Thread DimitryASuplatov
Thank you for answering.
One more question. As I learned spc is for use with GROMOS and tip3p - with 
OPLS AA. I use OPLS AA. Should I consider using tip3p or it does not really 
matter?
Thank you.

 Don't worry this comment was probably based on personal/dogmatic believe
 and not on actual data. TIP3p and SPC are pretty much of same quality.
 
 SPC/E is probably better though.

[gmx-users] Re[2]: What water topology is worth using?

2008-12-17 Thread Vitaly Chaban
Hi Dimitry,

D field I`m using. Can I use spc with OPLS AA?
I think you can.

As for me when simulating water I prefer SPC/E but it's only my personal
taste.

Best,
Vitaly


D Thank you for answering. 
D Nevertheless I believe that each model is based on appropriate force
D field. As I learned tip3p is based on OPLS AA and this is exactly the
D field I`m using. Can I use spc with OPLS AA?
D Thank you

Re: [gmx-users] Gromacs 4 with mpi interface

2008-12-17 Thread Venkat Reddy
U just have to modify the .top file, Just add the line Na+ 2 at the
bottom of the file where u can find SOL   some numberand also u have
to substract 2 from the SOL number. Thats it.
Regarding MPI, if u r using MULTIPLE MACHINESthen MPI is useful
otherwise , if u r using single machine with multiple processors,run the
command mdrun -np no.of processors -s topol -v  -N no.of processors
That's it.Regarding the installation of MPI, first u should install the all
library files that are mentioned in the Gromacs web site,
lam-7.0.6-5.x86_64.rpm,libaio-0.3.103-3.x86_64.rpm,libaio-devel-0.3.103-3.x86_64.rpm
and fftw .

 And after adding some ions using genion when i try to run grompp again
 before final mdrun i get some error telling mismatches in .top and .gro file
 in some atoms although i have changed the top files as normally we should
 adding the ions and changing the total number of solvents accordingly..Why
 is it happening Can anybody help..plzz??

Re: [gmx-users] Gromacs 4 with mpi interface

2008-12-17 Thread Mark Abraham

Hi,

Please don't top post, particularly when responding to multiple topics 
in one email, as it makes it hard for people to understand the context 
of your remarks. A better approach is to insert new paragraphs after the 
text you refer to. You can also appear to be a more credible source of 
good advice by spelling you and are correctly, and avoiding ALL 
CAPITALS. Abbreviations are good for casual or bandwidth-limited 
situations, which don't really apply here. :-)


Here's a good link on how to ask and answer questions well :-) 
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html


U just have to modify the .top file, Just add the line Na+ 2 at 
the bottom of the file where u can find SOL   some numberand

MPI is needed for any form of parallelism with GROMACS.

That's it.Regarding the installation of MPI, first u should install the 
all library files that are mentioned in the Gromacs web site, 
lam-7.0.6-5.x86_64.rpm,libaio-0.3.103-3.x86_64.rpm,libaio-devel-0.3.103-3.x86_64.rpm

Rather than copying and pasting information, a link like

Just install using yum:

# yum -y install gromacs gromacs-mpi

Due to some clashing names, all binaries have been renamed to start with
g_, i.e. mdrun is g_mdrun and so on. Everything is compiled both in
single and double precision, and MPI binaries are available of mdrun
(and once the Makefiles are updated I'll put in also the MPI enabled
analysis tools).

Example:
g_mdrun single precision
g_mdrun_d   double precision
g_mdrun_mpi single precision MPI
g_mdrun_mpi_d   double precision MPI
