[gmx-users] Normal Mode Analysis in Double-Precision

[Inon Sharony]

I now performed:

make distclean
./configure --disable-float
make
make install
make links


All executed without problems. Now I no longer have segmentation  
faults (thanks David!), however the energy minimization still does not  
achieve 1E-05 kJ / mole nm convergence (only as good as ~5E-04 for  
pentane). When I looked in the *.tpr file I saw that the coordinates  
are still given to three significant figures, meaning that the last  
two decimal places (fourth and fifth to the right of the decimal  
point) are always zero. I understood from Ran that this means the data  
is still in single-precision. How could this be?

Can anyone please help me get proper, double-precision from my simulations?


Thanks, and have a glorious week.

Inon.
