 Dear All users

 How to convert my single precision version of gromacs to double precision?

 You don't; you re-install Gromacs with the desired precision.  Note that
 single- and double-precision installations can exist side-by-side with
 proper suffixes (default _d) on the executables and libraries.


 Can i do it by apt get command in ubuntu version?


 It looks to me like the only version available is single-precision but
 perhaps someone else who uses them regularly can tell.  I do all my
 installations from source.

 -Justin


The gromacs packages that come with Ubuntu contain both single and
double-precision binaries, with the latter ones having the usual _d suffix.

I have checked that on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx (gromacs 4.0.7) and
Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin (gromacs 4.5.5).

Re: [gmx-users] Force constant - units

2012-06-29 Thread Oliver Stueker
Hi Steven,

How much is 1 [pN/A] in [kJ/nm2]  (without the mol)?

And why would anyone want to use force-constants in the 10^-23 ?
So why not define a force-constant for 1 mol of bonds instead of a sole bond?

I think you can see where I'm going.

 Hi,

 Not exactly. But you can apply position restraints with zero force constants

Re: [gmx-users] some hardware questions

2012-05-04 Thread Oliver Stueker
Hi all,

This week Nvidia has also announced the GeForce GTX 690 with two
Kepler Chips [1].
That will make a total of 3072 CUDA cores @ 915MHz to 1019MHz and will
perform like two GTX 680s in SLI mode [2], but more energy efficient.

I'd really be interested if parallelization would be a bottleneck for
the Kepler chips compared to the Fermi ones. Has anyone already run
some benchmarks on Kepler?

Best,
Oliver

 To my knowledge, the Fermi GPU (GF-110, eg. GTX-580) is
 a 16 processor (streaming multiprocessor, SM) system, each
 processor having 32 cores running at 1.5 GHz, and the
 Kepler-1 (GK-104, eg. GTX-680) an 8 processor system
 with 192 cores per processor at 1GHz.
 Because on the Fermi each SM has more L1 cache than
 each SM on the Kepler-1 and because it might be harder
 to saturate 192 cores in a compute-scenario, I'd expect
 the 580 (GF-110) to be significant(?) faster in the
 next Gromacs (4.6). Maybe somebody tested this already.

 (Here in Germany, I can by GTX-580/3GB for ~325€ + Tax.)

 M.

 You might be. I do have a collaborator in France who chooses to use GTX 580
 with NAMD and is eschewing the Keplers. I think I saw a bench somewhere
 for Kepler compute; not sure if I saw that much difference (but you will
 be paying the price though). In that case stick with Fermis for now :)

Hi Marc,

Though I never came across ready-to-use files for Gromos 45A4, you can
for sure get all the parameters for carbohydrates from [1] and
transfer them into a Gromacs format (make sure to convert all the
units).

Searching briefly for the term 45A4 in [2] lets me believe, that the
parameters have been cooperated into 53A5 and 53A6, so you might want
to check that as well.

Re: [gmx-users] Re: Neigborsearching, Electrostatics and vdw options

2012-03-21 Thread Oliver Stueker
Hi Ahmet,

 Let's imagine a sphere(two concentric spheres):
 radius of the inside small sphere=rvdw
 radius of the big sphere=rcoulomb
 distance between two of our nested spheres:rlist
 is this approach correct?

No. I suggest you read section 4.6.3 (and  probably also 4.6.2) in the
Gromacs Manual.
The Difference between rcoulomb (or rvdw) and rlist is a buffer-zone
for the fact that the
neighbor-lists are only updated every nstlist steps (often nstlist = 5).

 Dear users,

 Berk Hess says:
 [gmx-users] a) rlist vs rvdw/rcoulomb size confusion, and b) reduced units
 Mon Jul 16 14:17:12 CEST 2007

 There are three options in Gromacs.

 The option you want is rcoulomb  rlist and rvdw  rlist.
 This works and gives the most accurate and also the most costly integration.

 A faster and very commonly used setting is: rlist=rcoulomb=rvdw.
 With PME the Coulomb interactions are very small at the cut-off,
 as are the LJ interactions.
 So with a small sacrifice in integration accuracy one can gain a lot
 of performance, also because analytical LJ is cheaper than tabulated.

 The last option is rcoulomb  rlist and/or rvdw  rlist.
 Then the energies and forces beyond rlist are only updated every nslist
 steps.
 This gives less integration accuracy but can give a lot of interaction
 accuracy
 at a small computational cost.

 [gmx-users] Twin-range cut-off
 Tue Sep 13 01:25:28 CEST 2011


 A twin-range cutoff just means that your short-range cutoffs aren't all the
 same
 value, such that they form two interaction zones.  Within the shortest, the
 neighbor list is updated every step.  Between the shortest and longest
 cutoffs,
 the neighbor list is updated every nstlist steps.  For instance:

 rlist = 0.9
 rcoulomb = 0.9
 rvdw = 1.4

 are common settings for Gromos96 force fields (in conjunction with PME).
 Thus
 there are two interaction zones - the first is if two atoms (or charge
 groups,
 depending on the algorithm) are within 0.9 nm, and the second is if the two
 interacting species are beyond 0.9 nm but within 1.4 nm of each other.

 rcoulomb: distance for Coulomb cut-off (nm)
 rvdw:distance for LJ or Buckingham cut-off (nm)
 nstlist: neighbor list update frequency
 rlist: cut-off distance of the short-range neighbor
 Twin range cutoff consists of rcoulomb and rvdw, isnt it?

 Let's imagine a sphere(two concentric spheres):
 radius of the inside small sphere=rvdw
 radius of the big sphere=rcoulomb
 distance between two of our nested spheres:rlist
 is this approach correct?
 I could not understand the fourierspacing and rlist.


 Thanks in advance

Re: [gmx-users] pdb file

2012-03-12 Thread Oliver Stueker
A neat way to get generic coordinates of organic molecules like this
is using Jmol:

1) go to http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-12/new.htm?USESIGNED
This requires Sun/Oracle Java plugin activated in the browser and
asks for permission to trust the signed applet.
Alternatively one could use the Jmol Application instead.

2) type the following two commands into the cmd textbox (or the Jmol console)
load $Thiophene ;
write coords ? ;

The first one will load the structure and the second one will open a
Save-File dialog to ask for the filename to save it on your hard disk.

Quoting Bob Hanson (currently the lead Jmol developer): If you can
name it [and if it is organic] [...] you can probably get it.

 Hello,

 I would like to thank Justin and Tom for their kind replies to my question!
 I believe that by having the gromacs manual as a guide I would manage to
 bring the bilayer into physiological size by using Justin's advice. However,
 Tom's advice sounds simpler to implement. Unfortunately the size of the
 pre-equilibrated POPC is too small for what I want to do afterwards, but I
 can make my own POPC using editconf, genconf and Inflategro to shrink and
 equilibrate it first and then use the renaming trick.

 For beginner users that will consult this thread in the future, I had
 overestimated the value of the coordinate files as starting structures...
 Deleting the last two united atoms from oleoyl will fix the hydrocarbon
 chain length and using a palmitoyl force field will take care of turning the
 double bond into a single one. Renaming the three different united atoms'
 names in the polar heads and eventually the names of the whole lipids is
 like turning ethanolamine into choline and vice versa. The initial positions
 at the crucial points will be very improper, but this isn't important since
 hopefully the energy minimization will fix them. This strategy -with a
 little more work- could even be applied for more diverse polar heads as soon
 as one has a force field, just by placing his atoms at very reasonable
 initial positions! Proper topology file is all that matters :).

 Thanks again for your ideas!

[gmx-users] unconstrained_start vs. continuation in Gromacs 4.5.x manual

2010-10-04 Thread Oliver Stueker
Dear Gromacs Community,

as I understand the MDP option continuation is the new name for the
option unconstrained_start.

I think the 4.5 series manual should be updated to mention that fact,
since it still only mentions unconstrained_start

[gmx-users] Inconsistent charges in OPLS-AA residues ASPH and GLUH

2010-08-25 Thread Oliver Stueker
Hi,

while having a closer look at the topologies of aspartic- and glutamic-acid
in OPLS-AA, I noticed that the charges of the carboxylic oxygen atoms are
not consistent in the protonated forms of those residues:

from ffoplsaa.rtp of gromacs 4.0.7:
[ ASPH ]
[ atoms ]
 Nopls_238   -0.500 0
Hopls_2410.300 0
CAopls_224B   0.140 1
   HAopls_1400.060 1
CBopls_136   -0.120 2
  HB1opls_1400.060 2
   HB2opls_1400.060 2
   CGopls_2670.520 3
   *OD1*opls_269   *-0.530* 3
  *OD2*opls_268   *-0.440* 4
   HD2opls_2700.450 4
Copls_2350.500 5
 Oopls_236   -0.500 5
[ ... ]
[ GLUH ]
[ atoms ]
 Nopls_238   -0.500 1
Hopls_2410.300 1
CAopls_224B   0.140 1
   HAopls_1400.060 1
CBopls_136   -0.120 2
  HB1opls_1400.060 2
   HB2opls_1400.060 2
   CGopls_136   -0.120 3
   HG1opls_1400.060 3
  HG2opls_1400.060 3
CDopls_2670.520 4
  *OE1*opls_269   *-0.440* 4
   *OE2*opls_268   *-0.530* 5
  HE2opls_2700.450 5
 Copls_2350.500 6
Oopls_236   -0.500 6

in case of ASPH atom OD1 has a charge of -0.530 while it's equivalent in
GLUH (OE1) has a charge of -0.440 and vice versa for OD2 and OE2.

While fast browsing over the OPLS-AA papers, I couldn't find a listing of
the original charges to confirm which of the cases is the correct one.
For all other forcefields for gromacs that have topologies for the
protonated forms of aspartic- and glutamic-acid (gromos, ffencads and
charmm27.ff (in GMX 4.5) the charges of OD1 and OD2 in ASPH match to the
corresponding ones in GLUH.

I found this in the ffoplsaa.rtp of gromacs 4.0.7 and as far as I can see
it's currently the same in the branches release-4-0-patches and
release-4-5-patches.

Cheers,
Oliver

Re: [gmx-users] gromacs, lam and condor

2010-04-04 Thread Oliver Stueker
Hi Hsin-Lin,

As Mark answered already yesterday:
1) 1Gb Ethernet is not fast enough for more than 2 or maximum 4 CPUs.
(and if each process of mdrun has to wait ~90% of the time to get data
from the others, then you result in just 10% load, right? )

2) telling from the line:
  /stathome/jiangsl/soft/gromacs-4.0.5/bin/mdrun_mpi_d \
you are using a double precision of gromacs that slows things down and
is only of use in very special cases. use mdrun_mpi instead.

3) your system is just 6000 atoms small, I would rather run such a
small system on one dual-core system (so max 2 CPU's)
 I don't think the system will scale well on more CPU's

And in case there's really something wrong with condor and has nothing
to do with gromacs then this is the wrong mailing-list anyway.


Oliver

2010/4/4 Hsin-Lin Chiang jian...@phys.sinica.edu.tw:
 Hi,



 I tried to use 4 and 8 CPUs.

 There are about 6000 atoms in my system.

 The interconnect of our computer is the network with speed 1Gb but not
 optical fiber.



 I'm sorry for my poor English and I couldn't express well in my question.

 Everytime I submitted the parallel job, the nodes assigned to mehave been
 100% loading,

 and the CPU source availble to me is less then 10%.

 I think there is something wrong with my submit script or executable script,

 and I post them in my previous message.

 How should I correct my script?



 Hsin-Lin


 Hi,

 how many CPUs do you try to use? How big is your system. What kind of
 interconnect? Since you use condor probably some pretty slow interconnect.
 Than you can't aspect it to work on many CPUs. If you want to use many
 CPUs
 for MD you need a faster interconnect.

 I used gromacs 3.3.3 and in the vacuum. I applied the heat first around 10
 layers.
 after I finished my simulation and look at the edr file, the result
 temperatures are higher than what I gave. It looks like it generates heat by
 it self.
 But when I do same simulation with less molecules such as 6000, it looks
 fine.

 Hello,


 I simulate carbon nanotube and basically I follow up

 But when I increase the number of molecules (like 15000) , it gives me
 wrong results.

 Do you know why this is happen?

 I am now however trying to run the simulations on our local cluster in

If you would have searched the mailing list for posts with terms like
parallel problem,
you probably would have found several posts that report people having
serious problems with mpich-1.2.x and the advise to use mpich2,
openMPI or LAM/MPI instead.

Check with the admins of your Cluster which alternative MPI lib is
available or have them install one of the suggested.

 I need to merge 8 copies of a protein into one definition (.top) because if

The procedure on that Wiki-Page actually works in (from my personal experience)

After I installed Gromacs 4.0.5 on a Cluster in my home-directory, tools like
pdb2gmx kept complaining they couldn't find the topology files, as GMXLIB was
actually not set by GMXRC.

Fortunately adding the line:

just after sourcing GMXRC in my .bashrc, worked for me.
