Dear Francis we are running in the  Xeon E5-2670 8C 2.60GHz (2 CPUs , 8 cores, 16 threads) for each temperature. and the exchange attempt frequency is 500 steps. The other system with 126 replicas run 30 ns per day ( system size of  ~38000 atoms). could you please help us in solving this

Adding replicas cannot of itself slow things down, though it will increase the cost linearly. Don't try to run them all on the same amount of hardware as a smaller calculation! You are shooting yourself in the foot if you do not have at least one processor per replica (= MPI rank). Mark On Mon,

So what's the difference between the two systems? I think you can look through the end of the log file, and find which part slowed down. Maybe your job did not use the right partition of cores (too much comm. time)? I don't know. Francis On 25 Feb, 2014 1:19 am, Singam Karthick sikar...@yahoo.in

Dear members, I am trying to run REMD simulation for poly Alanine (12 residue) system. I used remd generator to get the range of temperature with the exchange probability of 0.3. I was getting the 125 replicas. I tried to simulate 125 replicas its drastically slow down the simulation time (for

Because every replica has to be calculated separately, it seems the speed is not that slow (125 * 0.07 ~ 9 ns). Also, to evaluate it, you should post how many CPUs you used, and other information like exchange attempt frequency... Francis On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 3:32 PM, Singam Karthick
