Dear Thomas: Thanks for the suggestion. I have a way foward, I'm just being selective about what I share at this point. This thread got a bit side-tracked from my reason for posting, which was simply to help a user with a single 12-core node to realize that dedicating it to a 6-month REST2 simu

Have you thought about a more selective scaling of the interactions (i.e. HREX with only scalings applied for certain bits of the protein, not the complete thing as in REST2) so as to reduce the protein hydrophobicity at the lower lambda's? I've seen this selective scaling work well in other ty

In REST2, the protein becomes way too hydrophobic as lambda is decreased. Just run a standard simulation at 300K, another at 600K and then another one at 300K with REST2 lambda=0.5 and you'll see what I mean. REST has a hidden barrier corresponding to the point at which water becomes a theta so

Hi Chris, This is interesting. Do you have an idea why the sampling at low lambda values isn't very good? Cheers Tom On 14/04/17 17:40, Christopher Neale wrote: What I have is only my own personal unpublished data. But add to that the number of years since REST2 came out and the low number

I too also fairly frequently use the -maxwarn option for this message. Perhaps it would be better off as a grompp note rather than a warning, or am I missing something here? This way, there isn't an encouragement for people to use the -maxwarn option for other situations when it is less appropr

Yup, I use maxwarn all the time in that case. It's safe for general usage. From: gromacs.org_gmx-users-boun...@maillist.sys.kth.se on behalf of Anurag Dobhal Sent: 14 April 2017 12:43:18 To: gromacs.org_gmx-users@maillist.sys.kth.se Subject: [gmx-users]

What I have is only my own personal unpublished data. But add to that the number of years since REST2 came out and the low number of papers in which anybody did something useful with it and I'd say that suggests many others have tried and run into the same issues that I did (or maybe I'm just no

Is this on your personal laptop or on a cluster? On a cluster, perhaps you have hit your user or group quota for file size or number of files (especially if you are running in $HOME or something). I have also seen this when there really should be space available, but the issue was (again on a la

Just my 2 cents: REST2 doesn't work. The random walk is much better than REST but the sampling efficiency at low lambda is now poor. Your mileage may vary, but be aware that REST2 is not necessarily going to be useful for all systems. From: gromacs.org_gmx

In addition, using another technique like REST2 may substantially reduce the numbers of replica's you need. Still, more compute is definitely recommended if you can get it. Cheers Tom On 14/04/17 12:48, Smith, Micholas D. wrote: You can try over assignment of cores, but that will be horribly
