[gmx-users] Choosing LINCS setting / rcon for parallel mdrun

Dr. Lemkul

Thanks for your reply.
However , I used npme = 0 and could then utilize 64 processes. I did a NPT
equilibration with Berendsen thermostats / barostats and found after 5 ns
the density to be 999 kg/cu m and average press = 0.4 bar. There was
marginal drift.
Are these artifacts or I need to equilibrate more ? I used AMBER99SB/TIP3P.

Thanks & Regards
