[gmx-developers] Fundamental question: Order of visiting/moving

Hi Tsjerk,
I am sorry I did not pay attention to changing the subject line. Hopefully this one will do it!
I am still missing something here. Please be patient with me! :)
For N particles, we calculate forces on particle "i" by all other particles (N-1), then we displace it. Next we work on particle "i+1", and calculate all forces on it by all other (N-1) particles, including particle I which we just displaced a step ago. And so forth until we go through all particles. By the time we reach the last particle, the forces calculated on it will be affected by those particles that have already been displaced. If we have started in a reverse order, would we reach the same positions/velocities? It is certainly not, thus, the order of the atoms we work on will have an effect.
Does that make sense?

Thank you Mark, and Tsjerk!
Do you know if the order of the atoms visited has been investigated for its effect on the simulation? Or, has the quasi-realtime update been tested by others? So I am actually questioning the design principle; has that been investigated by others?

Hi Ra'ed,
Please keep the subject line of the original mail.
There is no such effect. There can't be such effect. The forces and displacement calculated for one particle have no effect on those calculated for another.
Cheers,
Tsjerk
