[gmx-users] Same starting structure but different trajectories

[Emanuel Peter]

Hi Tsjerk,

I ran my job on the same machine and made exactly the same inputstructure and 
inputfile. 
What does chaos mean in your opinion? A computer should do exactly the same 
every time you start with the same starting conditions on the same machine.  

I have to couple my ligand seperately and not as part of my protein, so I can't 
couple just two groups named Protein and Non-Protein.  

Bests,

Emanuel

Hi Emanuel,

Anything small can cause trajectories to diverge, it's chaos. The
machine on which is run can make the difference. This is also covered
in the list archives.

This is bad practice. Where did you get that from? Not from any _good_
tutorial, surely. Check

more.
