[gmx-users] gromacs 4.0.2 error in continuation to triclinic skew error

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

I don't know what the reason for the large LJ14 distance is,
but this will be over 3 bonds, not over 1 bond (which I guess the 0.154 is
that you mentioned).

This has nothing to do with the parallelization.
I would use 4.0.2, since there are many small issues fixed that were in 4.0.0.
In 4.0.0 you communicate twice as many atoms, so 4.0.2 will run faster.
I would suggest to run mdrun -rdd 1 and see if you don't get the missing
interaction errors anymore.

Hello,

thank you for all your responses up to now. The thing is getting much more clearer.

Yet, as far as the distance is concerned, this is a little bit worrying, because I have bonded interactions no more than 0.154 nm away. So a distance more than a whole nm I think that should be very long so as to keep this message to go away.  If this has to do with the parallelization, then  I might not worry. Yet, physicaly I think that is a very long distance.

I have to say that the same system worked very nicely with the version 4.0.0 and looking it via ngmx I saw nothing worrying. The properties of my system where reasonable too.

I insist, because in previous gromacs versions I got similar errors and their cause was due to running on many processors. The run was crashing, yet running it only in two
 processors I didn't face such problems. It is also curious because in version 4.0.0 I didn't see such an error. 

The runs I make take a lot of time, so seeing different error messages at random makes the post process even more difficult. The 1nm you propose I think that it is a big distance both for the LJ pairs interactions and of course for the bonded ones. Also I thought that the table extention was a cut-off for the LJ pairs interactions, which in my case is 5 nm.

The only thing I can think of for now is to run in less processors...

Thank you, 
Regards!
