Re: [gmx-users] How many ps needs a simulation?
Hi Jahan,You mention your computer restarted. Now that sounds serious. Can you give more details about that? What happens in the log-file before the crash. Was it gromacs or something else that caused it? Are you running windows or *nix? Furthermore, as mentioned before, how long the simulation should be, depends on what you want to get from it. If you try to fold your sequence, I'd guess you need at least 5-10 seconds.., and a few lifetimes of simulation if we don't get much faster computers soon. Still, if you're interested in functional processes, you're facing very long relaxation times, which I estimate could well be about 20-25 ns or more (as I've seen for a quite globular protein of my own, about half the size of yours). That means that before you get some real information you need simulation times of 40-50 ns at least. You can check the relaxation or convergence of your simulation by looking at the cosine content of the principal components (g_anaeig -h). If you're interested in local phenomena, you may be able to get away with shorter time scales. By the way, if your protein is more or less rigid, you can cut down the computational cost by choosing a proper definition of your simulation box. If your interested you can contact me off the list for that (but keep other questions regarded to the simulations directed to the list please). TsjerkOn 5/11/06, Dallas B.

I should say that this step needs about 100 h time. 50 ps for a protein of 1277 residue is probably equivalent to the first minute of a marathon. The system size you chose can be considered "enormous" ! Anyway as M and W already said, the simulation length that would give you a reasonable answer depends entirely on what question you want to answer and the quality of the answer you want. From a 50ps simulation you have absolutely no answer at all !!

It depends on what sort of physical insight you are hoping to achieve, how long the process you are studying takes to occur, how many degrees of freedom your system possess, how much computational time you're prepared to commit to it, how much data you're prepared to analyze, whether you can demonstrate convergence of some property of interest... For the record, though, referees are likely to laugh at simulations of biological systems which can be comfortably measured in picoseconds.
