[gmx-users] g_msd bug

2011-06-27 Thread Sławomir Stachura
Hi GMX Users, I am writting this email, beacause I think the g_msd program in Gromacs 4.5.4 bears a problem. I was calculating the MSD od center of mass of POPC in membrane (system contains 274 POPC lipid molecules in all-atom force field) from 50 ns trajectory and it seems to consume great amou

600 GB of memory? I highly doubt that you have that much memory available. Are you sure that this is not a typo? Can you please post evidence that you have >=600 GB of memory available? It is common for clusters to disallow an individual process from using >10% of the total memory on a head

Hi Slawomir, That's quite a usage of memory! Can you provide more information? Like the number of frames in the trajectory, the command line you used, and the system you ran on? Cheers, Tsjerk 2011/6/27 Sławomir Stachura : > Hi GMX Users, > I am writting this email, beacause I think the g_msd p

Hello, thank you for your reply. I have used following command : g_msd -n POPC.ndx -lateral z -o POPC_msd.xvg -mol POPC_diff.xvg Trajectory has 1 frames and the system it was ran on is Fedora Red Hat 5.4. Indeed my network administrator was very unhappy about comsumed memory. Regards,

No -it is not a typo - my cluster allows me to use higher amount of memory than 10%. Information I received from administrator of the cluster : >> [root@isei ~]#top >> >> top - 13:52:23 up 30 days, 3:00, 76 users, load average: 5.85, 17.19, >> 13.08 >> Tasks: 2825 total, 1 running, 2815 sleep

Dear all, I found the same problem that Sławomir pointed out 10 days ago about the memory usage in the computation of g_msd. I have 100 ns simulation for 2880 water molecules. The trajectory is savede every 1 ps: this means that I have 10 frame I think that there is a strange memory p

Hello, I can also confirm this behaviour. Furthermore if I use an index group, that just contains 1 molecule and compare the results from an analysis with the flag -mol and without, then I obtain different results which should not be the case. /Flo On Thu, 2011-07-07 at 09:28 +0200, Ivan Gladic

I just experienced this myself. The problem appeared to manifest itself when I was using -mol on a molecule that straddled the box wall. Memory usage was extremely high and the resulting MSD plot did not show any linear behavior. Imaging the trajectory with -pbc nojump made g_msd's memory usage

Thank you for all your answers. It reassures me that the problem I encountered wasn't only a secluded case. I can also confirm that the -mol options seems to be the one making the most consumption of the resources - without it memory usage has dropped to 20 gb. And it could be connected to dealin
