[gmx-users] different results when using different number cpus

2007-12-05 Thread Dechang Li
Dear all,   I used Gromacs3.3.1 to do a simulation about two proteins in water(tip3p). I run two similar simulations, one for 2 cpus, while the other for 16 cpus. The two simulations have the same .gro, .top, and the same .mdp files. I found the results were not the same. In the 2 cpus

Dear GMX users, I would like to give some feedback about my experience regarding the compilation of Gromacs 3.3.1 on the IBM cluster using the IBM compilers. Since I was unable to test a compilation with gcc, because gcc is not instaled, I've decided to recompile Gromacs with the IBM compilers

Hi, With Gromacs and (nearly) all other MD packages you will never be able to get binary identical results when running on different number of CPUs. Since MD is chaotic, the results can be very different. Berk. From: Carsten Kutzner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Discussion list for GROMACS

Hi, I am trying to use AMBCONV. However, it gives me a segmentation fault when I try to run it. I have seen that other users have posted a similar problem with the program on the mailing list. It seems to me that AMBCONV only uses older Amber formats. I have even generated that using set

2007-12-05 Thread Carsten Kutzner
Hi Dechang, it is normal that results are not binary identical if you compare the same MD system on different numbers of processors. If you use PME then you will probably get slightly different charge grids for 2 and for 16 processors - since the charge grid has to be divisible by the number of

Hi, I am looking to scale non-bonded interactions between two atoms with the lambda parameter, while keeping other interactions unchanged. I am not sure how to do this for Coulomb interactions. Scaling the Lennard-Jones interactions between a specific atom pair seems straightforward, by
