Thank you Berk,

I will loon into tau_t=1.0 (or at least not = 0.1). Thank you for the hint.

These simulations run in 200 ps segments and utilize restarts via  
grompp -t -e like this:

EXECUTING:  
/hpf/projects1/pomes/cneale/exe/gromacs-4.0.3/exec/bin/grompp -f  
/scratch/4772976.1.ompi-4-21.q/md6_running/dpc50_md6.mdp  -c

/scratch/4772976.1.ompi-4-21.q/md6_running/dpc50_md6.tpr -maxwarn 1 -t  
md5_success/dpc50_md5.trr -e md5_success/dpc50_md5.edr

The -maxwarn 1 is to avoid this message:

WARNING 1 [file  
/scratch/4772976.1.ompi-4-21.q/md5_running/dpc50_md5.mdp, line unknown]:
   Can not couple a molecule with free_energy = no

which I don't think should be a problem.

###

I didn't check temperatures previously, but I did check the energy  
components output the the .log file in zero step mdruns in both serial  
and parallel and found no difference.

Here is the information on temperature and total energy for the serial  
and parallel runs:

For the run in parallel:

Since I used only one temperature coupling group for SD (which is  
another obvious difference between the MD runs and SD runs and is  
something that I am testing right now) I don't have separate  
temperature information for detergents vs. water. What i can give you,  
though is all of the averages/drifts from the serial and parallel  
simulations:

### PARALLEL:

Note that all of the .edr information above is from many separately  
generated 200 ps .edr files, which I first concatenated via eneconv  
and then ran g_energy on the total .edr file. I am not sure if this  
affects the overall averages/rmsd values or not.

Thank you,
Chris.

Hi,

SD will tau_t=0.1 will make your dynamics a lot slower.

I don't see a reason why there should be a difference between serial  
and parallel.
Are all simulations single runs, or do you do restarts?

Did you compare the temperatures to check if there is no strong energy loss
or heating and if there are differences between the different simulations?
