Re: [gmx-users] LINCS Constraints - all-bonds or h-bonds?
I don't go beyond 2 fs with either all- bonds or h-bonds. Things like kinetic energy start being subtly off. H-bonds has less chance of failing with large numbers of constraints- less iteration required, especially if bond system cross parallelization boundaries. If your molecules are < 10 atoms, it probably doesn't matter either way.

Re: [gmx-users] Partial incompatibility of pdb2gmx with 4 character residue names?
Hi Mark, Using -rtpres also doesn't work. Since this happens only with a specbond.dat present there could be a note when using specbond.dat. Since usually mixed residues (looking for BGLE atoms in BGLM rtp) should not occur when this fatal error is thrown (?), a more specific alternative might be to have an additional check for mixed residues and, in case, an additional warning to the fatal error (like in the case of missing hydrogen).

Re: [gmx-users] Re: what is sigma in gromacs? the radius of a sphere or the diameter of a sphere?
Dear Grita, \sigma in gromacs is the value of \sigma in a Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential defined by: 4\epsilon*[(sigma/r)^12-(sigma/r)^6], where r is the separation between the two point particles, epsilon is the well depth, and \sigma is a length scale which characterises the interaction between two particles. This is the same as in the wikipedia article Justin linked to or numerous other websites, journal articles, and text books discussing the LJ potential. The particles if they have sufficient energy can move closer than \sigma together or they can move further apart than \sigma. As Justin said there is no such thing as a particles diameter in gromacs everything is a point particle with no radius or diameter. If you want something where the particles absolutely cannot overlap regardless of their energy you will need to consider hard-sphere potentials. However, as these are not continuous and therefore not really suited to MD simulations I doubt that's what you want.

Searching through this mailing list it seems like some have stated that with a 2 fs timestep (dt=0.002), constraints=h-bonds is fine in general. The questions I have are: 1) What are some personal opinions on when it is ok to switch to h-bonds from all-bonds for LINCS constraints? Is 2 fs and h-bonds a general practice? 2) Also, if typically 2 fs and h-bonds are ok, what time-step do users (or you personally) generally go to with all-bonds?

Big issues at the moment are that both the "all vs all" and SIMD-accelerated GB kernels are broken in 4.6.x but worked in 4.5.x (see http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/1249). That probably means that performance of the plain-C kernels is lower than a similar explicit-solvent system. I expect that the problem is not severe - just that some assumption in the GB kernel or setup code has been violated during the changes leading to 4.6.
