Hello,

if read the line above correctly, there is a full-stop after CHARMM.
Hence it seems that GROMOS and OPLS-AA are not supported.

RE: Re: [gmx-users] opls-aa, implicit solvent and GPUs

2011-09-25 Thread Ehud Schreiber
Hi again,

Quoting from the current Gromacs "GPUs" webpage:

Force Fields: Supported FF are Amber, CHARMM. GROMOS and OPLS-AA are not
supported.

Also, it states

Forcefields that do not use combination rules for Lennard-Jones
interactions are not supported yet.

And I don't know whether opls-aa is such a forcefield.

So is or isn't it currently possible to accelerate opls-aa on GPUs?

Looking at the "Roadmap/GROMACS 4.6" webpage, on the up side:
 
Major features (almost) ready to be merged into the 4.6 branch:
New GPU non-bonded kernels which work with almost all features of
GROMACS.

While on the downside:

Features currently not supported by the new GPU and SSE kernels:
Implicit solvent (but this will still by supported on the GPU
through OpenMM)

All this led me to my original question.

Thanks for your time (and for updating the Roadmap webpage...),
Ehud.

You can do these simulations on GPU with the current version, or several
of the 
previous releases.
