Re: [gmx-users] Can we set the number of pure PME nodes when using GPUCPU?

2014-08-23 Thread Theodore Si

Hi,

When we used 2 GPU nodes (each has 2 cpus and 2 gpus) to do a mdrun(with 
no PME-dedicated node), we noticed that when CPU are doing PME, GPU are 
idle, that is they are doing their work sequentially. Is it supposed to 
be so? Is it the same reason as GPUs on PME-dedicated nodes won't be 
used during a run like you said before? So if we want to exploit our 
hardware, we should map PP-PME ranks manually, right? Say, use one node 
as PME-dedicated node and leave the GPUs on that node idle, and use two 
nodes to do the other stuff. How do you think about this arrangement?

One can devise various schemes in 4.6/5.0 that could use those GPUs, but
they either require

map their GPUs to PP ranks in a way that is different depending on whether
PME ranks are present (which could work well, but relies on the DD
load-balancer recognizing and taking advantage of the faster progress of
the PP ranks that have better GPU support, and requires that you get very
dirty hands laying out PP and PME ranks onto hardware that will later match
the requirements of the DD load balancer, and probably that you balance
PP-PME load manually)

I do not recommend the last approach, because of its complexity.

Clearly there are design decisions to improve. Work is underway.

That could happen if the GPU completes its work too fast, in which case the
end of the log file will probably scream about imbalance.

that is they are doing their work sequentially.


Highly unlikely, not least because the code is written to overlap the
short-range work on the GPU with everything else on the CPU. What's your
evidence for *sequential* rather than *imbalanced*?


 Is it supposed to be so?


No, but without seeing your .log files, mdrun command lines and knowing
about your hardware, there's nothing we can say.


 Is it the same reason as GPUs on PME-dedicated nodes won't be used during

Why would you suppose that? I said GPUs do work from the PP ranks on their
node. That's true here.

So if we want to exploit our hardware, we should map PP-PME ranks manually,
 right? Say, use one node as PME-dedicated node and leave the GPUs on that

Probably a terrible idea. You should identify the cause of the imbalance,
and fix that.

[gmx-users] Time varying electric field - phase term

2014-08-23 Thread steven shawn
Dear gromacs users, I am trying to use an electric field which is varying
with time. I read the previous posts and successfully generated time
varying electric field with E-xt, E-yt and E-zt.

but I need an electric field which has an initial phase term (ie. of the
form E= E0cos(2*pi*f*t+some angle term)) where i want to specify the angle
term. Most of the posts i read mentioned this angle term must be specified
in the third term after E-xt.
I tried it but failed to generate an initial phase. Can anyone help me with
this?


thanks in advance.

[gmx-users] Plotting hydrogen bonds and salt bridges.

2014-08-23 Thread Dawid das
Dear Gromacs experts,

This time I have a question not regarding Gromacs itself but rather MD
analysis in general. Let's say that I want to plot the distance between
water and atom of an amino acid residue forming hydrogen bond. Now, how can
I do it when water is donor of this h-bond and water molecule flips during
the simulation so that the acutal donor changes? If you don't get me, have
a look at this screenshot:

http://www.speedyshare.com/8xHDs/Zrzut-ekranu-z-2014-08-23-19-33-45.png

These two plots display distance between one residue atom and two different
hydrogen atoms of the same water molecule. Now I think you understand what
I mean. So, is it okay to leave it like this to show that there is constant
h-bond between this water residue and amino acid residue? Or should I plot
it differently?

Now, I have similar question regarding salt bridges. Let's say there is
salt bridge between one atom  carrying negative charge and arginine
residue. So how to plot distance between arginine side chain and this
perticular atom? Which atom(s) of arginine should I take?

Thank you,

Dawid Grabarek

Re: [gmx-users] Plotting hydrogen bonds and salt bridges.

2014-08-23 Thread rajat desikan
Hi Dawid,

In my understanding, a hydrogen bond is considered between one set of
hydrogen-donor-acceptor in Gromacs. So, when your water molecule flips and
its oxygen becomes the acceptor, it is considered as a different hydrogen
bond. So, the plot you have two hydrogen bonds each with differing
lifetimes, one short and the other long. I think that g_hbond takes this
into account.

There are different ways to plot the salt-bridge distances. The criteria
used by VMD makes sense to me. VMD defines a salt-bridge between two
residues if *any* oxygen of the acidic residue (Asp, Glu) falls within the
cut-off distance of *any* nitrogen of the basic residue (Arg, Lys, His).
However, the salt bridge distance is computed between the center of mass of
all the oxygen atoms in the acidic residue side chain and the center of
mass of all the nitrogen atoms in the basic residue. This distance is
different than the acceptance criteria for salt bridges (like you rightly
recognized), but is necessary since residues like Arginine have multiple
nitrogen atoms which can switch in the salt bridge formation due to thermal
motion.

Regards,

[gmx-users] Questions about 1-4 interactions in alkanes

2014-08-23 Thread Andrew DeYoung
Hi, 

Section 4.2 of the manual has a discussion of dihedrals.  The section
contains, in part, the following text:

With the periodic GROMOS potential a special 1-4 LJ-interaction
must be included; with the Ryckaert-Bellemans potential _for alkanes_ the
1-4 interactions must be excluded from the non-bonded list. Note:
Ryckaert-Bellemans potentials are also used in e.g. the OPLS force field in
combination with 1-4 interactions. You should therefore not modify
topologies generated by pdb2gmx in this case.

I would like to ask in particular about the statement that with the
Ryckaert-Bellemans potential _for alkanes_ the 1-4 interactions must be
excluded from the non-bonded list.  Here are two questions about that
statement:

(1) Does that statement apply ONLY to the GROMOS force field, or does it
apply to the OPLS-AA force field as well?

(2) What is the meaning of alkanes in that statement?  

- (2a) Does it refer ONLY to saturated hydrocarbons, which contain only
hydrogen and carbon and contain only single covalent bonds?  (Examples of
such molecules are butane, isobutane, pentane, isopentane, and hexane.) 
 
- (2b) Or, does it refer to ANY molecule which contains an alkyl group?
(An example of such a molecule is the amino acid isoleucine.  Isoleucine
contains an alkyl group -- isoleucine's side chain is an isopentyl group.
Does this mean that I need to EXCLUDE 1-4 interactions among hydrogens and
carbons of the isopentyl group from the non-bonded list?)  

(3) In the OPLS-AA force field, nexcl is usually set to 3, which _initially_
excludes 1-4 interactions.  However, in OPLS-AA, 1-4 interactions are
explicitly specified in the [ pairs ] section; they are taken at
half-strength by setting fudgeQQ = 0.5 and fudgeLJ = 0.5 in the topology.
(See, for example, this helpful explanation:
https://mailman-1.sys.kth.se/pipermail/gromacs.org_gmx-users/2012-December/0
77005.html .)  If the statement applies to OPLS-AA in addition to GROMOS,
and if the statement applies to the alkyl atoms in, e.g. isoleucine, then do
I need to EXCLUDE 1-4 interactions among isoleucine's hydrogens and carbons
from the [ pairs ] section?

Thank you for your time!

Hi gromacs users,

I met a problem with too much PME Mesh time in my simulation. The 
following is my time accounting. I am running my simulation on 2 nodes. 
Each of them has 16 CPUs and 1 Tesla K20m Nvidia GPU.

will crash. I have reported it to both mailing lists and talked to Roland.

Please reply.

Reposting the same query again:

I have read few papers that determine transition temperature from the plot
of average MSD of hydrogen atoms of protein versus temperature. My question
is:
At a particular temperature, we get a linear curve for MSD versus time, is
it reasonable to calculate average MSD over all such time points? Is this
the average that is plotted in papers (or something is missing) ? My doubt
is won't this average depend on the number of time points (due to its
linear nature)?

Actually I am trying to reproduce the results of some published data.
Although I am getting the same transition temperature but the MSD values
are coming different (eg at a particular temperature if I average all the
MSD values, I am getting value of 15000 while reported value is 1.5 - both
values in same unit angstrom square)

[gmx-users] interpreting g_hydorder results

2014-08-23 Thread pratibha kapoor
One of my friends have posted the same query earlier but hasn't got any
reply. Now, I am also having the same doubt and so posting the question on
behalf of both of us:

We would like to calculate both distance and angle water orientational
order. We have made an index file containing all oxygen atoms of water and
used trjorder as:
g_hydorder -f *.xtc -s *.tpr -n *.ndx -o file1_1 file2_1 -or file1_2 file2_2
How to interpret the results of the output files? Both output files file1_2
and file2_2 contain the same content. Won't one should contain distance and
other angle orientational order parameter values?
Also We expect parameter values to be less than or equal to 1. But the
values in the file looks something like the following (all greater than 1):

 #Legend   #TBlock   #Xbin Ybin Z t  0   0 0 6.5  0 1 6.5  0 2 4.5  0 3 3.5
0 4 6.5  0 5 4.5  0 6 5.5  1 0 6.5  1 1 4.5  1 2 5.5  1 3 3.5  1 4 5.5  1 5
4.5  1 6 5.5  2 0 4.5  .
.


  Please help us in interpreting this file.

Looking forward to reply this time

Any help is highly appreciated.
