Hello Xavier, 

Thank you for your response. 

>> nstlist = 10 and the rlist = 1.0 
My mistake, i did not changes these values when i switched to PME,

I have rerun the simulations for 400 ps in NPT with these changes and plotted Epot and Temp vs Time The Epot and Temp values are not stables. The average Temp of the system  is better than previously but fluctuate around (294 K) instead of 298 K . Note i use gmx4.5.5 to do my calculations.

 I have also visualized my  system at the end of the NPT run, the  na+, water, surfactant, octane molecules  form a slab with void

What's wrong ?

Stephane

Did you visualise the system? T in function of time? Epot in function of time?

As a side note (not relevant for PME) the mix of nstlist = 10 and the rlist = 1.0 is pretty bad! You want at least rlist=1.2 when nstlist=5 and rlist=1.4 if nstlist =10.

My system works well, if i use the standard shift parameters (correct temp, and pressure). But for for the simulation with PME , the temp of the system decrease to  290 K. Below my *.mdp parameters for a NPT equil at 298K

Hi,

Twin-range will lead to extra errors, which could be negligible or not.
But the errors should be the same and have the same effects in different versions.
I think nothing has changed in the twin-range treatment from 4.5 to 4.6, but I am not 100% sure.

Which version with twin-range matches your non twin-range results?

Cheers,

Berk

Hey all,

I recently ran 20ns simulation of protein ligand complex on cluster i used
following script to run simulation

grompp -f MD.mdp -c npt.gro -t npt.cpt -p topol.top -n index.ndx -o
md_test.tpr

mpirun -n 8 mdrun -s md_test.tpr -deffnm md_test -np 8

*I saved this as MD.sh And then submited to cluster using following script*

#!/bin/bash
#BSUB -J testgromacs             # the job's name/array job
#BSUB -W 120:00                       # max. wall clock time in hh:mm
#BSUB -n 8,8                          # number of processors Min,Max
#BSUB -o test/output_%J.log             # output file
#BSUB -e test/errors_%J.log             # error file
#BSUB -M 8192     #Memory limit in MB

echo "Started at `date`"
echo

cd test

echo "Running gromacs test in `pwd`"

./MD.sh

echo "Finished at `date`"


It gave result but when checked files .xtc and created RMSD plots in that
x-axis of this plot i see only 8ns ...but in MD.MDP file i specified 20ns..

Cluster Output says that "TERM_RUNLIMIT: job killed after reaching LSF run
time limit.
Exited with exit code 140". i gave maximum cluster time 120 hours..still it
is not sufficient ..

Can any body tell me  how do it split script i such  that i will get all
20ns simulation


Thanks in advance ,

Sainitin
