Hi all,
I'm using the Application Programming Interface openMM for executing molecular dynamics simulations with Gromacs on an NVIDIA GTX 295 GPU (here is installed CUDA SDK for issuing and managing computations on GPU).

Even if I have followed all the instructions reported for the correct installation of GPU, CUDA, OpenMM and even if my .mdp file for the simulation is written following the features supported in the release Gromacs-OpenMM, the output of the serial code running on CPU is quite different from that of the parallel code running on GPU (.gro files).

Looking at the .log file I have also noticed that the energy terms 'Angle', 'Proper Dih.''Ryckaert-Bell.','LJ-14'Coulomb-14', 'LJ (SR)', 'Coulomb (SR), 'RF excl', are null for the simulation performed with the parallel code.

I obtained these results during different simulations on several .pdb files. I used, for example, '1AKI.pdb' file, downloaded from the Protein Data Bank. I decided to choose ffamber94 force-field (even if this is more suitable for nucleic acids) and I treated the structure with an energy minimization of 1 ps and a position restraint of 5 ps. After these, I executed the md simulation using the following .mdp file as input for the mdrun-openmm program:

cpp                      = /lib/cpp     
include                  = -I../top     
integrator               = md           
dt                       = 0.002        
nsteps                   = 10000        
nstlist                  = 5            
ns_type                  = grid         
rlist                    = 1.2          
pbc                      = xyz          
coulombtype              = Reaction-Field
rcoulomb                 = 1.2
vdwtype                  = switch
rvdw_switch              = 1.0
rvdw                     = 1.1
tcoupl                   = no
Pcoupl                   = no
gen_vel                  = no
constraints              = all-bonds

I have performed a lot of simulations using even different options for the .mdp file (coulombtype, pbc...), but I have never obtained the expected results.
Someone can help me?

Thanks a lot,
Giulia
