Im not sure on the prices of these systems any more, they are getting dated so they will be on the low end price wise. I have a 30,000 ish atom lipid system for all my simulations so this might be helpful: System 1 CPU - dual 6 core xeon @ 2.8 GHz GPU - 2x GTX 680 50 ns/day System 2 CPU - dual 4

Hello Nilesh, it sounds like you have a similar problem to mine, except my original run has large energy fluctuations and the rerun does not. By chance is your gromacs version installed with mpi on? i think i have narrowed my problem to a bug in the installation with mpi. If you search for my

FYI I have done some more experimenting on the problem with different versions and computers running the exact same start .tpr file and this is what ive found: Computer A with 4.6.1 or 4.6.3 with MPI = random energy drops Computer A with 4.6.1 or 4.6.3 without MPI = no random energy drops

If i understand the problem correctly, you can plot the com of any group of atoms as a function of time with g_traj. Create an index file of whatever atoms you want using make_ndx then use g_traj with -com flag to plot com of the group. -- View this message in context:

I used the mdrun -rerun option to recalculate the energies of the system and it gave me nearly the same energy plot but without the random drops(see plot below). I am still unsure what is causing the jumps but i do not believe it is from my system. Since the energy is used in the calculation for

[gmx-users] trjconv center problem

2013-04-19 Thread Brad Van Oosten
i find the trjconv option -center skips random frames(less then 1 % of frames), and by random frames i mean that these frames are not equally spaced apart in time. I have tried -center and -center -boxcenter zero flags but both produce the same problem. Does anyone know a fix/workaround? --
