[gmx-users] coulomb SR in 3.3cvs

Hi,

I compiled the 3.3 CVS version of 27.05.2005 on itanium2 with the intel 
8.1 compiler. (for those who don't know, the cvs version brings a 
terrific speedup on itaniums). Tests were performed with both versions 
in double precision.

I compared the different energies obtained with 3.2.1 and 3.3, by taking 
the same trr (from a 3.2.1 equilibration, 85000 atoms, PME) and running 
it with both versions for about 12ps. From the tables below, one sees 
that there is a gap between Coulomb (SR) of 3450 KJ/mol, and between 
potential energies of  3280 KJ/mol.

A close inspection of the energy files reveals that the version 3.3 
reproduces the same energy as 3.2.1 at the first step, but the system 
relaxes very quickly (0.5ps) to a lower energy with 3.3. 

Rerunning with 3.3 the trajectory produced by 3.2.1 surprisingly gives 
the correct energies.

Any explaination for that ?

Thanks,
Michel
