Hi Mark,

I ran on 48 processors.....the error is:

The X-size of the box (5.312040) times the triclinic skew factor (1.000000)
is smaller than the number of DD cells (6) times the smallest allowed cell
size (0.885281)


I would say this further confirms Mark's suspicions. Whatever you're doing to the system is causing it to rapidly collapse, a behavior that is now independent of the number of DD cells.

Kind regards, chetan

Hi,

I am following umbrella sampling tutorial for my membrane protein system.

While running continuous pulling simulation (mdrun)..... under step five:
Generating Configurations of the tutorial. I get the below error.

The system ran initially but corrupted very soon with warning " The X-size
of the box (4.800448) times the triclinic skew factor (1.000000) is smaller
than the number of DD cells (4) times the smallest allowed cell size
(1.200000) "

I am using 64 cores with -npme = 16. I haven't set any -dds. My system box
size is  6 x 6 x 12 nm

That's a large box deformation... 6nm to 4.8nm. I'd say your system is probably blowing up, and that -dds 0.6 is hiding the symptoms. Try running on
fewer processors to see whether when the DD box size is larger whether you
get other explosion symptoms.
