[gmx-users] Re: Using CHARMM 36 for DPPC simulation

2011-11-11 Thread Amit Choubey
Hi Everyone,

I did another simulation where i found the the DPPC area per lipid is 0.61
nm^2 . Is this acceptable ?

I have seen issues like this on the mailing list before can one of the
experts give me some hints.

 5Hello all,

 I am trying to use CHARMM 36 for DPPC membrane simulation. I did the
 following so far:

 1. Download pdb file containing 128 DPPC molecules from
 http://www.charmm-gui.org/?doc=archivelib=lipid_pure

 2. I separated one lipid molecule from the obtained pdb file and used
 pdb2gmx -f 1dppc.gro -nochargegrp

 The top file obtained was converted to itp file by commenting few things
 out.

 3. I looked at a file named dppc_n128.inp in the downloaded dppc bilayer
 from CHARMM GUI for the box length. I used editconf to convert the pdb to
 gro and manually inserted the box size in the gro file.

 4. Created a system.top file which looks like
 #include charmm36.ff/forcefield.itp
 #include lipid.itp
 #include charmm36.ff/tips3p.itp

 The resulting simulation gave me an area per lipid =0.591 nm^2. This is
 not quite right. Can somebody suggest what else could i do it get close to
 the 0.63 nm^2 value.

 Also when i looked at trajectory file it seemed that the box length was
 not set up quite right because the downloaded pdb file looked ok with the
 membrane in the middle but at the next frame the membrane was at a totally
 different location. The leaflets were separated and the middle of the
 membrane was at the edge of the box.

 Also when i used pdb2gmx -nochargegrp on the downloaded file it created a
 gro file whose system size was
8.20170   8.64120   6.54740 in contrast to6.4   6.4

 I have sent this email days ago, but I got no answer.

 Hope someone would saw it this time. 

 Sorry for disturbing.

 Dear all:

  I am using gromacs-4.0.2_localpressure to calculate the local
 pressure of my system.

  I have a question.

  When rerun the mdrun from gromacs-4.0.2_localpressure I used a new
 .mdp file. There are some changes of the new .mdp file according the
 original one. I have 2 questions:

 **1.  **I changed the The coulomb interaction type from PME to
 reaction field with epsilon_r=1 epsilon_rf=78;  Is this change feasible?

Yes, you have to switch to cutoff for coulomb interaction. I have seen in
other publications that they use a regular coulomb  with cutoff as large as
2 nm. I am not sure whether there is any advantage in using Reaction field.

 

 **2.  **I used LINCS for all bonds in the simulation, and I still use
 the LINCS for all bonds when calculate the local pressure. Is this way
 right?

 I have had no problems in using LINCS during local pressure calculation.

 

 ** **

 Thanks for any reply.

 There's never a case for rudeness, but when (for example) people have been

 the advice available here http://www.gromacs.org/Support, then one can
 get frustrated. Expressing a little of that can help people realise how to
 participate more effectively in the discussion. One's family doctor can ask
 a lot of patient questions about what is wrong because you're paying them a
 lot of money. If people who might give free help don't feel that their time

 ask questions that show one's willingness to work on the problem by

 Without seeing your .mdp file and the actual energy terms you're observing,
 I can only guess.  One would think that if it is the only molecule in the
 system, there should be no intermolecular Coulombic terms (unless maybe some
 arise due to periodicity, but in that case you do not have an infinite
 system and then they are artifacts).  There may be intramolecular terms
 (like 1-4) or PME-related terms.

 I suspect that energy terms comes from the use of an electric field, which
 you had not mentioned before.

Without seeing your .mdp file and the actual energy terms you're
observing, I can only guess.  One would think that if it is the only
molecule in the system, there should be no intermolecular Coulombic
terms (unless maybe some arise due to periodicity, but in that case
you do not have an infinite system and then they are artifacts).
 There may be intramolecular terms (like 1-4) or PME-related terms.

Thanks Bogdan, defining each atom as a charge group solves the grompp issue.
Also here the atoms interact via non-bonded potentials. I think its a better

 Column 6 in the [atoms] section of the .top file defines the charge
 group. If you want each atom to be in its own charge group, you can
 set this to the same number as the atom number (column 1).

[gmx-users] how to simulate a line charge

Hi all,

I am trying to do a calculation on an artificial line charge in vacuum. The
line charge has 267 atoms and each atom has a 1e charge. The atoms are
bonded by a bond term and an angle term. I defined the required itp files
and top file. When i issue

grompp_jpt -v -c parallel.gro -p chain.top -f nve.mdp

I get the following error message.

Program grompp_jpt, VERSION 4.5.3

 If you're trying to keep the atoms in a line, the system will not be
 stable. Angles of 180 degrees routinely crash.


Not even if i use a 3 body angle term with equilibrium angle = 180? If not
then why ?

 The maximum charge group size is defined in the include/types/nblist.h
 header. You can alter the value there, which will get around the error, but
 consider whether or not this is even a good physical model.  If all atoms
 are in the same charge group, there are no electrostatic interactions
 between these atoms since neighbor searching is done and short-range
 energies are calculated based on inter-charge group distances.  I have no
 idea how to properly simulate a line of positively-charged particles, but be
 aware.


Thanks for the pointer and the awareness remark. But since this is a model
system and for the physical problem i am trying to deal with its alright if
the atoms within the line charge do not interact via non-bonded potentials.

If its total contribution then LJ parameters should also be correct and for

Why not use 0 for LJ parameters? You will have to figure out the units of

Re: [gmx-users] Re: local pressure v4.5 issues

2011-07-28 Thread Amit Choubey
I just checked that the mdrun of v4.0.2_local_pressure can read the tpr
generated from grompp of v4.0.7. I did get some local pressure numbers. Also
i checked the potential energy between 4.0.2 and 4.0.7 there is a difference
of about 0.0008% .

I am just wondering how this problem got fixed ie how could 4.0.2 did not
have trouble reading the tpr of 4.0.7 whereas 4.0.2 could not make the tpr
file (it complains about Invalid dihedral type 9).

 Hi all,

 I am trying to figure out a way to port tpr files (which has CHARMM FF)
 from v4.5 to v4.0.2. This is because i want to use the localpressure
 calculation which works only in version 4.0.2.

 When i issue the following command i get

 grompp_v4.0.2_lp -v -c traj0.gro -o npt_4.0 -p system.top -f rerun.mdp

 I get the following error
 *

 Program grompp_v4.0.2_lp, VERSION 4.0.2_localpressure

 Source code file: topdirs.c, line: 118



 Fatal error:

 Invalid dihedral type 9

 I think dihedral type 9 is not defined until version 4.0.7. Could anyone
 provide a way to deal with this ?

 The input file contains broken molecules.  There is nothing wrong, per se,
 but only in the case when molecules are split across periodic boundaries.
  This is a new check as of version 4.5.

 I did another simulation with only SPC water. Then I used the local
 pressure gromacs to calculate the stresses. It seems to be reasonable.

 I am not sure how to figure out what goes wrong with my previous
 simulations when plugged into the local pressure gromacs.

 Could someone help me in figuring out whats the issue ?

 Thank You.

 When I look at the Pressure tensor averaged over xy plane, some of the
 numbers are reasonable but few of them are ridiculously large numbers which
 is not expected.

 I checked this on two different simulations and I got the same problems.
 The simulations had run OK previously.

 Could someone help me in figuring our whats going on ?

  Dear all,

 I have made a test calculation of local pressure using version 4.5 for my
 membrane simulation using CHARMM FF. When rerun the simulation, mdrun gives
 the localpressure data. Howeve, instead of giving an anveraged data of the
 local pressure, mdrun gives a separate file for each frame, so I got many
 files: localpressure.dat0, localpressure.dat1, localpressure.dat2,
 localpressure.dat3 ..
 Then I need to calculate the pressure tensor for each frame and make
 average. but these localpressure.dat files are very big (each file is about
 30 Mb), occupying large space of the hard disk. Can anyone give some
 suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you very much!


 I would expect that the output frequency is configurable, but can only
 suggest you consult what documentation exists for this version. Your main
 alternatives are

 * to compress the files with (say) bzip2 or (less effective) gzip and
 construct a script to uncompress them singly and analyse them on the fly
 (AMBER users do a bit of this kind of thing, Google around)
 * to discard ones that are too frequent. However, judging from the numbers
 below, every 100ps is probably OK.

 Mark


  The command is:
 mdrun_d -s lp.tpr -rerun box_md5.trr -x box_md5_rerun.xtc -o
 box_md5_rerun.trr  -g md5_rerun.log -localpgrid 0.1
 And the output message is:
 
 Dumping local pressure based on 1 frames to localpressure.dat0...
 Reading frame   2 time 119400.000

 Dumping local pressure based on 1 frames to localpressure.dat1...

Re: [gmx-users] Why does the -append option exist?

2011-06-03 Thread Amit Choubey
Well sometimes i run out of walltime when doing long simulations and append
helps me not to do any file management after restarting simulations from the
previous checkpoint.

On Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 3:26 PM, Dimitar Pachov dpac...@brandeis.edu wrote:


 At first, I thought the -append option of the mdrun command was great.
 However, I don't think it is anymore and have actually  started questioning
 myself why it exists at the first place, and second, why has it become the
 default option in the newest versions?

 It is useless unless you run your simulations in a 100% safe from any
 unexpected problems (hardware, restarts, etc) mode, which is never the case.
 It is beyond me how such an option can become the default and how a
 statement like this:

 By default the output will be appending to the existing output files. The
 checkpoint file contains checksums of all output files, such that *you
 will never loose data when some output files are modified, corrupt or
 removed.*

 can be claimed without testing ALL of the scenarios that can lead to
 problems, that is, lost data.

 If one uses that option and the run is restarted and is again restarted
 before reaching the point of attempting to write a file, then things are
 lost, and most importantly, the most important piece of data, that being the
 trajectory file, could be completely lost! I don't know the code behind the
 checkpointing  appending, but I can see how easy one can overwrite 100ns
 trajectories, for example, and obtain the same trajectories of size 
 0.



Two restarts within a time frame where trajectory file is updated doesnt
make sense. I really dont understand how you can loose trajectory files.


 Using the checkpoint capability  appending make sense when many restarts
 are expected, but unfortunately it is exactly then when these options
 completely fail!


How ?


 As a new user of Gromacs, I must say I am disappointed, and would like to
 obtain an explanation of why the usage of these options is clearly stated to
 be safe when it is not, and why the append option is the default, and why at
 least a single warning has not been posted anywhere in the docs  manuals?


Use -noappend


 Thanks,
 Dimitar

[gmx-users] spurious forces while doing pulling simulation

2011-01-17 Thread Amit Choubey
Hi all,

I am trying to do pulling simulation. Following are the pull parameters

pull = umbrella
pull_geometry = direction
pull_vec1 = 0 0 1
pull_group1 = RNA
pull_rate1 = 0.01
pull_k1 = 1000
pull_start = yes

Everything works fine until the pull group COM reaches half the box length.
The COM position changes by the box length and that causes huge force on the
group. What should i do to fix this ? Also i am using NPT coupling.

Hi,

Initially, the pull group center of mass is at 8.16 nm and i want to pull 15
nm. I started with a box size of 37 nm in the pull direction.

The problem occurs when the COM is at 18.5 nm (ie at half the box length).

Thanks for the attention.

 You have to use a sufficiently large box, otherwise the periodic distance
 becomes the reference distance when this happens.  This has been discussed
 numerous times on the list (hint: there is an archive for a reason!) and in
 the tutorial linked here:

I am still not able to see the reason for the periodic distances coming into

Also, why pull_geometry = direction_periodic cannot be used with P-coupling;

 15 nm. I started with a box size of 37 nm in the pull direction.

 The problem occurs when the COM is at 18.5 nm (ie at half the box length).

 Thanks for the attention.

 Hi all,

 I am trying to do pulling simulation. Following are the pull parameters

 pull = umbrella

 pull_vec1 = 0 0 1
 pull_group1 = RNA
 pull_rate1 = 0.01
 pull_k1 = 1000
 pull_start = yes

 Everything works fine until the pull group COM reaches half the box
 length. The COM position changes by the box length and that causes huge
 force on the group. What should i do to fix this ? Also i am using NPT
 coupling.


 You have to use a sufficiently large box, otherwise the periodic distance
 becomes the reference distance when this happens.  This has been discussed
 numerous times on the list (hint: there is an archive for a reason!) and in
 the tutorial linked here:

Re: [gmx-users] spurious forces while doing pulling simulation

2011-01-17 Thread Amit Choubey
Yes Justin i understand that. Heres what i think is going on

I dont have any reference group. Now the COM distance is calculated wrt the
origin and whenever the COM is more than half of the box its causing
problem.

I think changing the absolute reference to the initial COM of the pull group
(using pull_init1) should fix this issue but i am not confident.

Thanks for looking into this.

 I guess I don't fully understand your procedure.  If you only want to pull
 to a COM separation of 15 nm, there should be no problem, but yet you're
 achieving a COM separation of 18.5 nm?  That's exactly the problem.  If your
 box is 37 nm, 18.5 nm corresponds to the transition at which the code
 utilizes either the unit cell distance or the periodic distance as the
 restraint distance.  So it is as this point that your forces go haywire.

  Also, why pull_geometry = direction_periodic cannot be used with
 P-coupling; although it seems to do what i want.

 Correct.

 group (using pull_init1) should fix this issue but i am not confident.


 Using a defined reference group is the better method.  That way, the pull
 distance is calculated with respect to this reference, and it sounds like
 that will allow you to use the box you have already set up.

 I put an atom-quadruplet in my index file, but when I run

 So actually g_angle only calculates angles not dihedrals?

Yes -ov does give you average angle as a function of time. I am not sure if

 What does it mean?

 Because I'm getting positive and negative values in the same plot. Are
 these values the values of my dihedral angle as a function of time?

 Thanks again,

Re: [gmx-users] CMAP error

2010-12-09 Thread Amit Choubey
This may not be related but it was not straight forward to do DPPC membrane
simulation using CHARMM FF in gromacs. The DPPC molecule was not defined at
all in the FF files.

The DPPC is defined in terms of two more residues in CHARMM.

 Dear all,

 I am setting up a system with GROMACS 4.5.3 and the CHARMM force
 field. In the protein, I have a neutral lysine, for which CHARMM force
 filed has a specific residue type (LSN). When I wrote LSN as residue
 name in the initial pdb file, the topology file was perfectly created
 by pdb2gmx. However, in the next step, grompp complained about the
 CMAP torsion between the two previous residues:

 Fatal error:
 Unknown cmap torsion between atoms 2747 2749 2751 2754 2757

 However, if the LYS residue was written in the initial pdb file and
 the -lys option included with pdb2gmx (chosen the neutral protonation
 state for this lysine), grompp did not complain.

 The problem is that there is a deprotonated tyrosine (bound to a
 metal) in my system. I created a new residue type, but again the
 grompp complained about the CMAP between the two previous residues.
 Unfortunately, in this case I can't fit the problem with any of the
 pdb2gms options.
 I think the problem arises when a non-standard residue is included in
 the initial pdb file. Does someone else find this problem? I would
 appreciate any advise about how to solve it.


 I can't promise a solution, but you could try adding LSN and whatever other
 non-standard residues you need to use in residuetypes.dat.  I noticed that
 LSN is not there, which seems like an omission, since the other
 CHARMM-specific residue names are there.  When LYS is present, probably
 pdb2gmx is correctly interpreting the residue as protein before converting
 its name.  In the case of LSN or any other non-standard residue, this may
 not be the case.  Check the output of pdb2gmx carefully for any messages
 that might indicate that a residue of type Other was detected.  I've had
 this cause other problems.

 If adding LSN to residuetypes.dat fixes the problem, I will file a
 bugzilla.

  Thanks in advance

Why cant you use  LJ? By setting the attractive part equal to zero.



 Is there a way to add hard spheres to lets say a simulation of Water

Re: [gmx-users] dna, lipid simulation

Thank you all. At least now I have an idea of the starting point.

  I would tend to agree with Justin rather than Itamar. The GROMOS DNA
 parameters are not especially good (see
 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20614923) but it depends on what you
 are wanting to look at. Another option (rather than CHARMM, which for what
 it is worth is the force field I would probably use) is you could use one of
 the AMBER forcefields for the DNA and the GAFF lipids (although I forget if
 there is DPPC available or not, I think the only fully saturated lipid
 already available might be DMPC), but keep in mind you need to use surface
 tension with these lipids. As I said the choice really depends on what you
 want to look at, so some reading of the literature and also seeing what
 other people have done for similar simulations should help.

 Cheers

 Hi Amit,

 The GROMOS force field had both DNA and lipids parameters, hence you can
 use it in your simulations. Moreover, there are new lipids parameters by
 David Poger and Alan Mark which I should give better results compared to the
 old set.

 Good luck.

Hi,

Define an itp file which has the non-bonded info. Then define a mdp (md
parameter file) and also make a structure file (gro). Also you need a
topology file (top) which corresponds to the structure file.

You will have to do some background work. Manual should be your friend.

[gmx-users] question on KALP-15 in DPPC tutorial

Hi all,

I was going through the very nicely presented tutorial by Justin (on KALP-15
in DPPC). I have one question regarding the non-bonded cut-offs. It seems
that people use many different values of non-bonded cut-off (varying from
0.9 nm to 1.2 nm or probably more). How should i choose the cut-off values
for my simulations ?

  In the first instance, by reproducing the conditions under which the
  parameters were validated. Unfortunately, most of the force fields were
  not parametrized for PME, under which they are often now used. So look
  at some papers from large well-known groups that have done something
  similar to what you want to do, judge how well they have worked, and do
  something comparable. Unfortunately, there have been little or no
  systematic studies of how accurate forcefield X plus PME needs to be to
  model reality usefully. Hopefully that will change :-)
 

 And directly related to the tutorial in question, the settings used therein
 were
 assigned to reproduce the study that I cite in the introductory material.

 After months of hard work and 2449 patches, the new gromacs-4.5-beta1 is
 out!

 It is full of many new and exciting features, please try them out!

 If something is not working as expected, please send a mail or file a
 bugzilla report.

 For developers: there is a new branch for stable releases called
 release-4-5-patches. Bugfixes should be applied there **first**, and if
 needed, merged from that branch into the master after the fix. See
 http://www.gromacs.org/Developer_Zone/Git/Git_Tutorial#Bugfixes for more
 information.


 New features:

- 2D decomposition support for PME: improved load balancing with up to
40% overall performance improvement for large systems.
- Memory usage is improved for very large systems, allowing simulations
of 100 million atoms.
- Running on multi-core nodes now automatically uses threads for domain
decomposition through the built-in threaded MPI library
- GPU computing support
- Check-pointing is made more secure:MD5sum are used to verify that all
files are correctly in-place before a simulation is appended. Output file
appending at continuation is turned on by default
- Full Cmake support. Autoconf/automake will be deprecated after the
final 4.5 release!
- Full support for 7 AMBER force fields
- Support for CHARMM27, including cmap for dihedrals
- Efficient Generalized-Born implicit solvent support including the
Still/HCT/OBC-models to compute the Born radii, a novel way of tabulating
the generalized Born-interaction formula for greater speed, and optimized
SSE-routines for both cut-off and all-vs-all simulations.
- Support for nucleic acid simulations
- Support for Velocity-Verlet integrators for reversible T- and
P-coupling; MTTK pressure control integrators; Nose-Hoover chains
- Support for Bennett acceptance ratio (BAR) free energy calculations
- Decoupling group setup for free energy
- File formats: All GROMACS tools can now read any VMD supported
trajectory format, without converting trajectory first. (VMD is required)
- g_rdf was a little bit enhanced that structure factors can be
calculated for any system, by supplying the necessary data via sfactor.dat.
Most of the common atomtypes are already contained, but everybody who needs
more freedom can enhance the table
- Library support for dynamic index groups based on textual
selections (experimental feature). See the tool g_select, the included
template.c, or Doxygen documentation for information on how to write
analysis tools using the library. Existing tools have not (yet) been
converted.
- g_tune_pme: For a given number of processes or threads this tool
systematically times mdrun with various numbers of PME-only nodes and
determines which setting is fastest. It also checks whether performance can
be enhanced by shifting load between the real and the reciprocal space part
of the Ewald sum.
- g_membed: a very convenient utility for embedding membrane proteins
into equilibrated lipid bilayers


 Big thanks to all developers, contributors and users!

 I am modifying the 'g_msd' utility to be able to calculate viscosities

 similar to the mean-square displacement equation for self-diffusion

 where p_iy is the particle momenta in y-direction.

 So basically I need to be able to read both position and velocities

 'read_next_x' to read the coordinates. Can you please comment on how I

   Hi Justin,

   Since the density (1 gm/cc) and T (300 K) correspond to

   If the equation of state involves temperature and pressure, yes.

So if you fix the density and temperature shouldnt you land up
with right pressure which we know should be 1 atm.


You are not fixing (or conserving) the temperature in an NVE
ensemble.  That would be an NVT ensemble, employing a thermostat.

 I did do NVT first and then for sampling i removed the thermostat. Also as
 you mentioned there was not much difference b/n pressure values during NVT
 or NVE . The pressure value is as high as 1000 bar in both cases.


Since instantaneous pressure is calculated (in part) from the
kinetic energy, and since the kinetic energy is not guaranteed to be
conserved, the pressure term will also fluctuate accordingly.


 This is correct. The pressure thus fluctuates about 20 % of the above
 mentioned value.


http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Pressure

The internal energy of the system is constant in an NVE ensemble,
the other terms may fluctuate as necessary such that all microstates
occur with the same probability and the energy surface remains flat.

 I agree

 Also recall that an NVE ensemble represents a thermodynamically
isolated system, not conducting heat or engaging in work with the
surrounding system.

 true

 So any concept of external pressure and equilibrating the pressure
is irrelevant.


 I am not trying to equilibriate the pressure. I am trying to measure the
 pressure. I also know that at 300 K and 1gm/cc the P should be 1 bar.

 Also, theoretically NVE or NVT are no different than NPT as far as
 measuring observables is concerned. Hence i was thinking that if you have
 the right volume density and temperature shouldnt you have the right
 pressure.


 I think the disconnect is arising because you're expecting a model of water
 to behave almost like an ideal gas.  The SPC water model, under NPT
 conditions of 300 K and 1 bar, does not give the experimental density of
 water; it is actually somewhat less than 1 g/mL.  So constraining the system
 to fit some pre-conceived notion of the volume to force the density to be
 right conflicts with the properties of the water model itself.  SPC wants to
 be at a lower density, you're forcing it to be at a higher density, all
 while fixing the volume of the simulation cell.  Sounds to me like a recipe
 for high pressure, since SPC wants to expand but you won't let it.

 So the starting configuration, assembled with the right density, has not
 properly equilibrated under NPT conditions, yet you are expecting it to do
 so when applying NVE conditions.  I don't know that you'll ever be able to
 satisfy all of these requirements simultaneously unless you can come up with
 a better water model that replicates both ideal and real behavior :)


yes model is an issue too. I was just concerned about 3 orders of magnitude
of difference in calculation of pressure. Thank you for the answering.

[gmx-users] pressure for ambient water

2010-05-16 Thread Amit Choubey
Hi Everyone,

I was doing MD with SPC waters and found something which i am not sure how
to explain.

I made a box of SPC water of dimension 4x4x4 nm^3 and filled with water
using grenbox .

I then did a nvt simulation at 300 K for 1 ns . I used berendsen coupling
and Reaction - Field for coulomb interaction. Cut off were all set to 1
nm. Temperature did converge to 300 K. After this i turned of nvt and did
nve with RF-zero for another ns. Energy was well converged during this (RMSD
 0.1 %). Temperature was also around 304 K (RMSD  1%). But the pressure
was 1.1 Kilobar with a fluctuation of 20 % . I don understand this, shouldnt
this be around 1 bar ? Could some one suggest whats on ?

Thank you,

this i turned of nvt and did nve with RF-zero for another ns.
Energy was well converged during this (RMSD  0.1 %).
Temperature was also around 304 K (RMSD  1%). But the pressure

Hi Justin,

Since the density (1 gm/cc) and T (300 K) correspond to ambient
condition, should not the equation of state dictate a pressure
around 1 atm?


If the equation of state involves temperature and pressure, yes.

 So if you fix the density and temperature shouldnt you land up with right
 pressure which we know should be 1 atm.



 You are not fixing (or conserving) the temperature in an NVE ensemble.
  That would be an NVT ensemble, employing a thermostat.


I did do NVT first and then for sampling i removed the thermostat. Also as
you mentioned there was not much difference b/n pressure values during NVT
or NVE . The pressure value is as high as 1000 bar in both cases.



 Since instantaneous pressure is calculated (in part) from the kinetic
 energy, and since the kinetic energy is not guaranteed to be conserved, the
 pressure term will also fluctuate accordingly.


This is correct. The pressure thus fluctuates about 20 % of the above
mentioned value.


 http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Pressure

 The internal energy of the system is constant in an NVE ensemble, the other
 terms may fluctuate as necessary such that all microstates occur with the
 same probability and the energy surface remains flat.


I agree


  Also recall that an NVE ensemble represents a thermodynamically isolated
 system, not conducting heat or engaging in work with the surrounding system.



true


  So any concept of external pressure and equilibrating the pressure is
 irrelevant.


I am not trying to equilibriate the pressure. I am trying to measure the
pressure. I also know that at 300 K and 1gm/cc the P should be 1 bar.

Also, theoretically NVE or NVT are no different than NPT as far as measuring
observables is concerned. Hence i was thinking that if you have the right
volume density and temperature shouldnt you have the right pressure.

 I've tried to copy and paste the .gro and .top file together, but there are

copying straight forward will not help, you have to move the atoms of one of
the box by the box vectors of the other box. Does this make sense ?

 I have seen that the self diffusion of SPC and TIP4P waters are 3.8 units

 Hi

 Looks like your system simply runs out of memory. So power cycling nodes
 isnt
 needed. If your cluster runs linux then it already has OOM Killer that will
 kill processes that runs out of memory. Also having swap on nodes is a good
 idea even with huge amount  of memory.
 Memory usage for mpi processes will strongly depend on mpi implentation
 because some of them are usualy caching slave process memory (like usualy
 do
 mvapich2)

 So can you provide info about youre cluster setup.
 OS version (including kernel version)  uname -a
 mpi version  mpirun --version or mpiexec --version
 also compiler version that was used for compiling gromacs

 Following is the link to it


http://www.csc.fi/english/research/sciences/chemistry/courses/cg-2009/berk_csc.pdf


 l. In that presentation on pg 27,28 Berk does talk about memory usage but
 then I am not sure if he referred to any other specific thing.

 My system only contains SPC water. I want Berendsen T coupling and Coulomb
 interaction with Reaction Field.

 I just want a rough estimate of how big of a system of water can be
 simulated on our super computers.

 Thank you,

 Amit

  Hi Mark,
  We have few nodes with 64 GB memory and many other with 16 GB of memory.
 I am attempting a simulation of around 100 M atoms.

 Well, try some smaller systems and work upwards to see if you have a limit
 in practice. 50K atoms can be run in less than 32GB over 64 processors. You
 didn't say whether your simulation system can run on 1 processor... if it
 does, then you can be sure the problem really is related to parallelism.

  I did find some document which says one need (50bytes)*NATOMS on master
 node, also one needs
   (100+4*(no. of atoms in cutoff)*(NATOMS/nprocs) for compute nodes. Is
 this true?

 In general, no. It will vary with the simulation algorithm you're using.
 Quoting such without attributing the source or describing the context is
 next to useless. You also dropped a parenthesis.

Hi Mark,

Yes thats one way to go about it. But it would have been great if i could
get a rough estimation.

 Try increasingly large systems until it runs out of memory. There's your
 answer.

Hi Tsjerk,

I tried to do a test run based on the presentation. But there was a memory
related error (I had given a leverage of more than 2 GB).

I did not understand the 64 bit issue, could you let me know wheres the
documentation? I need to look into that.

Thank you,

 Hi Amit,

 I think the presentation gives right what you want: a rough estimate.
 Now as Berk pointed out, to allocate more than 2GB of memory, you need
 to compile in 64bit. Then, if you want to have a real feel for the
 memory usage, there's no other way than trying. But fortunately, the
 memory requirements of a (very) long simulation are equal to that of a
 very short one, so it doesn't need to cost much time.

Hi Roland

I tried 'which mdrun' but it only gives the path name of installation. Is
there any other way to know if the installation is 64 bit ot not?

Thank you,

 Hi,

 do:

 and it should give:

 dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped

 If it is not 64 you need to compile with 64 and have a 64bit kernel. Since
 you asked before about 2GB large files this might indeed be your problem.

[gmx-users] gromacs memory usage

2010-02-26 Thread Amit Choubey
Hi,

I am having trouble with running gromacs with a large system. I am trying to
use several processors for the md. The error is a memory allocation error
and it might be due to low RAM or large no of particles. I want to know the
detailed memory usage of mdrun ie say for N atoms how much memory does the
master node need and then also whats the memory requirement for the other
nodes. By master node i mean the node that does the domain decomposition
calculation etc during the start of mdrun. A webpage which describes the
memory requirement at various stages during mdrun will be very helpful.

Thank you,

 The master node does not have a significantly larger memory footprint than
 any other, during setup or the run... For example, a 50K-atom system runs
 fine on 64 BlueGene/L processors with a hard limit of 500MB per processor
 for OS+code+data+MPI.

 Does your system run on 1 processor, with and without MPI? How much
 (physical) memory do you have for how large a system?

Hi everyone,

I am afraid this is not really a gromacs related question. Could anyone
refer me to a review paper which discusses about simulating water? Does any
of them gives a comparative and complete study of molecular dynamics with
water , answering questions like which water model to use, how to deal with
coulomb interaction, what should be the cutoff value (if cutoff is used) . I
have not been able to find one with complete story. Is anyone aware of such
a publication.

Thank you,

Also for the case with nstfout = 500 it seems that the forces are being read
and written properly, I tried the g_traj tool to see the forces.

Could someone clarify?

Thank you,
Amit Choubey

[gmx-users] domain decomposition and load balancing

2010-02-19 Thread Amit Choubey
Hi Everyone,

I am trying to run a simulation with the option pbc=xy turned on. I am
using 64 processors for the simulation. The mdrun_mpi evokes the following
error message before starting the md steps

There is no domain decomposition for 64 nodes that is compatible with the
given box and a minimum cell size of 0.889862 nm
Change the number of nodes or mdrun option -rdd or -dds
Look in the log file for details on the domain decomposition

This has to do with the load balancing in the domain decomposition version
of mdrun. Can anyone suggest me how to set the option -rdd or -dds?

Also the simulation runs fine on one node (with domain decomposition) and
with particle decomposition but both of them extremely slow.


Thank you,
Amit

Hi Mark,

I am not using PME calculation.

I was hoping mdrun will do the cell allocation itself.

Thanks,

  Hi Everyone,
  I am trying to run a simulation with the option pbc=xy turned on. I am
 using 64 processors for the simulation. The mdrun_mpi evokes the following
 error message before starting the md steps
 
  There is no domain decomposition for 64 nodes that is compatible with the

  This has to do with the load balancing in the domain decomposition
 version of mdrun. Can anyone suggest me how to set the option -rdd or -dds?

 Those options are not normally the problem - but see the log file for info
 and mdrun -h for instructions.

 You should read up in the manual about domain decomposition, and see about
 choosing npme such that 64-npme is a number that is suitably composite that
 you can make a reasonably compact 3D grid so that the minimum cell size is
 not a constraint. Cells have to be large enough that all nonbonded
 interactions can be resolved in consultation with at most nearest-neighbour
 cells (and some other constraints).

 I'm assuming pbc=xy requires a 2D DD. For example, npme=19 gives npp=45
 gives 9x5x1, but npme=28 gives npp=36 gives 6x6x1, which allows for the
 cells to have the smallest diameter possible. Of course if your simulation
 box is so small that the 2D DD for pbc=xy will always lead to slabs that are
 too small in one dimension then you can't solve this problem with DD.

 If pbc=xy permits a 3D DD, then the same considerations apply. npme=19
 gives 5x3x3 but npme=28 allows 4x3x3

  Also the simulation runs fine on one node (with domain decomposition) and
 with particle decomposition but both of them extremely slow.

 Well, that's normal...

[gmx-users] pbc option

2010-02-15 Thread Amit Choubey
Hi Everyone,

I changed the gromacs source code a little bit and this change introduced
some bias along x direction. Now i want to do a 'yz' pbc but gromacs has the
option of pbc = xy only. Is there a quick tip to circumvent? I can always
introduce the bias along z but its a little time taking job :)

[gmx-users] diffusion coefficient

2010-02-10 Thread Amit Choubey
Hi Everyone,

I have been trying to calculate diffusion coefficient for water. I am trying
to reproduce the numbers published in journal papers.
I am using SPCE water model. I use the g_msd analysis tool.

g_msd -f traj.trr -n index.ndx -s npt.tpr -b 2 -e 8

I use a box of volume 6x6x6 nm^3 which has 7161 water molecules. I
equilibriate the system for a ns and then run for additional 10 ps for
analysis. Here are some of the numbers that i get

a. With Berendsen's T coupling and P coupling on i get 4.4941 (+/-
0.2992) 1e-5 cm^2/s
b. With Berendsen's T coupling on and P coupling off I get 3.2469 (+/-
0.1076) 1e-5 cm^2/s
c. With Berendsen's T coupling on and P coupling off for 1ns and then T,P
coupling both off (for analysis part) i get 2.8085 (+/- 0.0310) 1e-5 cm^2/s
.

c is closest to the widely accepted experimental value of 2.3 1e-5 cm^2/s
but its not quite right.

Could someone explain to me why the values obtained in above 3 cases are
widely different and may be give some tips about the right procedure to
calculate diffusion (method and invoking the g_msd tool)?

Thank you
Amit

 Read all of the help information; the command in the .xvg file below shows
 that you're not yet using the right output options.  Hint: look at the
 sentence in g_angle -h before the one quoted above, as well as the -ov
 flag...


-ov flag gives the average value of angle of the group with time. This is
not very useful for me right now.

I am interested in the distribution of dihedrals with angle.

That is true. But what does the manual refer to when it says

what and where are the rest? I am only curious because there
might be a hidden feature that could be useful for me.


Read all of the help information; the command in the .xvg file below
shows that you're not yet using the right output options.  Hint:
look at the sentence in g_angle -h before the one quoted above, as
well as the -ov flag...


 -ov flag gives the average value of angle of the group with time. This is
 not very useful for me right now.


 By using -ov -all, the first column is the average of all groups analyzed,
 and probably is not useful for your purpose, but the subsequent columns are
 the value of the chosen angles at each time frame.  From these data, you
 could pretty easily write a script that calculates the distributions by
 binning.

-angle and proper group using

g_angle -f after_md.trr -b 800 -type dihedral -n chain1.ndx -od dihed12

Hi Mark,

It does seem that the -all option averages the distributions.
The thing is i was confused with the first graph is the average, the rest
are the individual angles. because when i tried it previously i only found
2 columns which were angle and distribution.

But now i checked again explicitly by doing few more g_angle commands and it
seems that -all does do what i wanted to do. I still dont know what the
rest are the individual angles means.

[gmx-users] g_angle for calculating dihedrals

2009-11-28 Thread Amit Choubey
Hi everyone,

I was looking at calculation od dihedrals using g_angle. I did not
understand what the output of this tool is, along the x-axis we have angle
(in degrees) but what do we have along the y axis . Does y-axis show the
fraction of dihedrals having that specific angle? It does seem so by adding
all the fractions but i need to make sure.

Just to be sure that you know what i am talking about i first used make_ndx
to make a group of 4 atoms (whose dihedral has to be calculated) . Then i
used

g_angle -f confout.gro -n index.ndx -type dihedral

where index.ndx has the indices for all the relevant atoms stored in a
group.

Thank you,

Amit

 Since line 31 would be carried out after line 28, I'm not sure why the

 Because mdrun is exiting, so the script is moving on.  Perhaps the system

 interpreting -s as a separately command rather than an option passed to
 tpbconv.

 Hi Amit,

 Unfortunately, i don't have an answer to your question as i am a very
 new GROMACS user myself..
 Actually i might need your help.



 I need to model two charged plates with opposite signs which are
 solvated in an electrolyte solution.


You might try to start with a boundary condition on the potential say
something like constant potential on the plates. And then you can always
find the electrostatic Green's function that solves the poisson's equation.
From there you could derive an expression for the potential in the box if
the charge density were provided. This part is discussed in Classic
Electrodynamics book by Jackson. Have a look at it if you need reference.

You can use the above green's function for finding potential everywhere in
box depending on the location of ions in the solution. The force due to this
can then be implemented in MD. I am not very sure about the implementation
though.


 When I was desperately browsing for
 keywords such as: Gromacs plates, walls, etc., trying to find the
 slightest clue of how to approach this issue in gromacs i saw your
 posting from the October 19th.

 I will most appreciate if you can give me some hint or tip of how to
 approach this problem or what is the suitable chapter in the manual to
 search for it.


I am not sure about any discussion on the specific type of things you are
talking about. Wall function for MD simulation is disscussed in chapter 7.
You will only find what options can be used. I think a tabulated function
can also be used.


 Sorry i couldn't help you with your question, hopefully you already
 figured it out,



I think it beneficial for both of us to keep these discussion in the forum
for our and other's benefit .

[gmx-users] doing exact continuation

2009-11-10 Thread Amit Choubey
Hi everyone,

I want to do an exact continuation with saved configuration and velocity.
What are the options that i need to change in mdp file?

I know i have to make unconstrained_start = yes. Anything else?

The reason i am asking this is that it is kind of difficult to make sure if
i am doing the right thing by comparing two different trajectories. This is
because the trajectories are generally 'chaotic' and they diverge even if
there is a difference in the numbers due to the machine. So i want to do the
best from my part.

thank you,

Thats true. First you need to do the simulation 'mdrun' and then analyze the

  xvg files for what? They are used for data files for 2D plots of

  Can you be more specific?

Re: [gmx-users] How to generate xvg files

 I'm trying to get the xtc output. The mdp file has these parameters.
 Is the nstxtcout what specifiies it to generate xtc?

yes its the freq of writing co - ordinates

 nsteps  = 2000  ; Maximum number of (minimization)
 steps to perform
 nstenergy   = 10; Write energies to disk every nstenergy
 steps
 nstxtcout   = 10; Write coordinates to disk every
 nstxtcout steps

 Do I need to use this -x flag?
 mdrun -nice 0 -s em.tpr -x
 No xtc was created though

-x is for writing xtc file
http://manual.gromacs.org/current/online/mdrun.html should help

  Actually I guess I need to generate the xtc first before I can get the
 xvg
 
  I am trying to develop a workflow for this
  mdrun
  g dist calculates the distances between the centers of mass of two
 groups
  g bond calculates distances between atoms
  g msd calculates mean square displacements
  g rms calculates rmsd’s with a reference structure and rmsd matrices
  g rmsf calculates atomic fluctuations
  g energy writes energies to xvg files and displays averages
 
  Thats true. First you need to do the simulation 'mdrun' and then analyze
 the
  trajectory (.xtc) and energy (.edr) files generated. It takes quite some
  time to figure out the first step 'mdrun' :)
