Hello,
I wanna ask some questions about load imbalance.
1> Here are the messages resulted from grompp -f md.mdp -p topol.top -c npt.gro
-o md.tpr
NOTE 1 [file md.mdp]:
The optimal PME mesh load for parallel simulations is below 0.5
and for highly parallel simulations between 0.25 and 0.33,
for higher performance, increase the cut-off and the PME grid spacing
therefore, i changed the md.mdp as whrited below, then used the command grompp
-f md.mdp -p topol.top -c npt.gro -o md.tpr , then there is no NOTE printed. So
if i change the cut-offs to 2.0 nm and increase the grid spacing to 0.30, does
the calculated results reasonable?
; Neighborsearching
ns_type = grid ; search neighboring grid cells
nstlist = 5 ; 10 fs
rlist = 2 ; short-range neighborlist cutoff (in nm)
rcoulomb = 2 ; short-range electrostatic cutoff (in nm)
rvdw = 2 ; short-range van der Waals cutoff (in nm)
; Electrostatics
coulombtype = PME ; Particle Mesh Ewald for long-range
electrostatics
pme_order = 4 ; cubic interpolation
fourierspacing = 0.3 ; grid spacing for FFT
2> and how about no changes, just simulate it with the original mdp. Is the
results still reasonable? Here are the messages without any changes:
