[gmx-users] Re: NPH Simulations

[sapna sarupria]

Hi all,

I am running (NVT) simulations of a drop of water (~5 nm in radius) in a big
box (~25 nm) in a box and find that the simulations are rather slow. I am
getting about 0.8 ns per day when a simulation of bulk system of equivalent
number of waters will be much faster. The number of waters is ~12000. I was
wondering if anyone can suggest methods with which I can speed up the
simulations. I am using particle decomposition and optimize_fft is set to
yes. PME is used for the electrostatics. I currently use 16 processors for
the simulation.

Thank you for your help and suggestions.

Sincerely
Sapna
