Thank you. i am using my own vdw tables so need a cut off.



Then I guess you have your answer. Finite cutoffs in vacuo can lead to serious artifacts if you're not careful. Tread lightly.

Thank you! Would you suggest just a cut-off for coulmb?


Not a finite one.  The best in vacuo settings are:

pbc = no
rlist = 0
rvdw = 0
rcoulomb = 0
nstlist = 0
vdwtype = cutoff
coulombtype = cutoff

  DEa Users,

My system involves protein in vacuum - 80 atoms in box of 9x9x9 nm3. I
want
to use PME in my mdp:

rcoulomb         = 2.0
coulombtype          = PME
pme_order            = 4
fourierspacing       = 0.12

The cutoff needs to stay like this, I have my own tables with VDW,
bonds,
angles and dihedrals.

i got the NOTE:

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

what setting would you suggest to use on 8 CPUs?


  I would suggest not using PME :)  The problem is PME is extremely
inefficient in vacuo because it spends a lot of time doing nothing due to
the empty space. Moreover, you're not likely really simulating in vacuo
at
that point because you've got PBC and therefore are really doing a
simulation in more of a diffuse crystal environment, so there are
probably
artifacts.
