[gmx-users] High load imbalance: 31.8%

2015-08-20 Thread Nash, Anthony
Hi all, I appear to have a very high load imbalance on some of my runs. Values starting from approx. 7% up to 31.8% with reported vol min/aver of around 0.6 (I haven¹t found one under half yet). When I look through the .log file at the start of the run I see: Initializing Domain Decomposition

[gmx-users] distance issues with umbrella sampling

As far as I¹ve understood, the absolute distance reported using g_dist (note: alternative name in 5+) and the reported harmonic potential between two groups using pull code in grompp, doesn¹t always match. As such, I some times end up with neighbouring umbrella histograms practically sitting on

Dear all, This is the first time I¹ve ran pull code (for umbrella sampling) since the change from Gromacs 4 to gromancs 5. I¹ve noticed some difference in the .mdp key-value parameters. Could I have a sanity check on the values below. Also, given that I want a harmonic potential between the two
