[gmx-users] do_dssp crashes on certain machines..

[pascal.baillod at epfl.ch]

Dear community,

I have the following problem with do_dssp, when I try analysing a long 70 ns
trajectory produced by a REMD calculation. All my previous analysis went fine,
when the trajectory had a length of ~= 50ns. However, I now obtain the following
errror message, perhaps one hour after launching do_dssp, when the standard
error message says frames around 54ns are being analysed:


Group    12 (          Cl) has     8 elements
Group    13 (         SOL) has 42228 elements
Group    14 (       Other) has 42236 elements
Select a group: There are 103 residues in your selected group

Program do_dssp, VERSION 3.3
Source code file: futil.c, line: 340

File input/output error:

-------------------------------------------------------


I guess this problem is due to the architecture/memory of the nodes of the
cluster I use (where this error occurs whether do_dssp is the only job on the
node or not): The same analysis works fine on another machine. The cluster I use
is made of Hewlett-Packard ProLiant DL145 G2 AMD Opteron Model 246 nodes. The
nodes contain two AMD opteron 2.4GHz cpus and 4*1GB memory.

I thank you very much for any suggestions!
