[gmx-developers] Re: turn on pdb output after every step.

[Feenstra, K.A.]

Hello Santosh,

Just to be sure you know (and you may already), this will absolutely kill all your performance! I mean orders of magnitute! So I cannot imagine you need this for a long simulation, in which case disk space should not be the problem either. If it is, why not but a cheap 2T disk?

If this is a dumb idea, please feel free to ignore it. If not, you're welcome ;-)

Groetjes,
Anton.
