I am sending my message again because my mdp options were looking a little weird: 

hi 
I am performing protein ligand (pdb:4HBV)binding free energy calculations, I am done with complex simulation , now stuck in ligand simulation since last 2 weeks. first i was getting zero energy, and when I changed some of parameters and position restraint my ligand , now i am getting LINCS warnings sometimes with NPT  and sometimes during production md. the strange part is that some of the lambdas are perfectly running while some of them crashes due to LINCS warnings, I know how to fix LINCS warnings (extending table size, decreasing step size, properly minimizing structure etc) but in  this case some of lambdas are running perfectly, which means the structure and parameters are fine. I decreased step size to 1 fs and got the same result, bow i decreased it to 0.0001 ps. if someone ever got this kind of problem , please share your views. 
my second question is that the simple simulation for solvation free energy of small molecule and the ligand simulation in binding free energy system are same? i mean can i use the solvation free energy parameters from BEVAN lab's tutorial in this situation? in some of tutorials they use position restraints for ligand simulation in water, that is the reason I used the same. 
I provide npt and md.mdp parameters. if something is wrong kindly give comments. ignore the stepsize , I know its too small, I tried 0.001, 0.002, and this is the recent one, but couldn't see any difference. 
thanks in advance

Hi David,

If seem to be interested in details so please do check the paper Carsten
linked (further papers can be found here
http://www.gromacs.org/Gromacs_papers). I also recommend you to look up
discussions on the mailing list form the past. Many of your questions have
been thoroughly answered before, hence the selective answers below.

Will you typically not use PME? In that case your runs will be more
GPU-bound than usual which is relevant because many of the benchmarks out
there may not give you an accurate idea about the ideal CPU/GPU ratio.

When? FYI: both NVIDIA and AMD are expected to launch new GPUs that will be
substantially faster.

This is a recurring question, I won't get into details, but in short:
(main) memory speed has little effect.

5.1 is the first release with OpenCL support and the performance with AMD
GPUs is good, but there was room for improvement. We have been working on
optimizations and in the next release AMD Fiji cards are going to be _very_
good in terms of both raw performance and even better in perf/$ metric.

MD is not LINPACK, so while the SP throughput is (for now) a good indicator
of the GROMACS GPU (kernel) performance, you can only use the relative SP
flop rate to estimate performance only within an architectural family; e.g.
given the GTX 960 performance you can guesstimate what you'd get on the 980.

Based on quick extrapolation from the 980 and R290X numbers I had around,
those should perform similar, but results will greatly depend on the actual
stable clocks the cards run at.

However, does you 1.5k budget really not allow getting the next category of
cards? I'd recommend considering Fiji, especially the R9 Nano, or the GTX
980 / 980 Ti are good options.

Define "scaling". Assuming you mean strong scaling, no you won't get linear
scaling, especially not from one to two GPUs.

Typically it matters quite a bit. For your Martini run not so much.

Read the paper and do some test runs if you can.

AMD CPUs are is sadly far far slower than Intel. Get a 4-core Haswell or
Skylake or the 6-core Hawell-E if you can afford.

It is not. Bio-mol MD runs mostly in cache. If it does not it will run so
slow that you won't get much in terms of results.

Typically? It depends on the system size. For 100k ~0.5 Gb should be
enough, though.

No, but depending on the type of analysis an SSD may matter a lot (and as
opposed to the MD run itself the you may need non-trivial amount of memory
too).

Subject: [gmx-users] Using FFTK generated parameter file for
    Protein-Ligand    simulations

Dear Gromacs Users,

I have to run a protein-ligand system. I am using CHARMM36 ff for the
simulation. For generating the parameters for the ligand molecule I used
the forcefield development toolkit of vmd, which gives CHARMM compatible
parameters.

But, I am unable to understand how should I include the parameters I had
obtained. I went through the tutorial files which shows an example of
PRODRG server for generating the itp file, but my ligand contains metal
atoms. I would appreciate if somebody could suggest me how to solve this.

Thanks,
Soumya
