Re: [gmx-users] Domain decomposition error with -rerun

2018-04-27 Thread Sahithya S Iyer
Hi, Thanks for the reply. I am only doing a rerun of a trajectory that has already evolved without any dynamic load balancing problems. -rerun only recalculates energies right. I don't understand why the same trajectory is giving decomposition error now. On Sat, Apr 28, 2018 at 12:11 PM, RAHUL SU

Hi. That indicates a problem with dynamic load balancing. Try to build different sizes of the box. On Sat, Apr 28, 2018 at 11:57 AM, Sahithya S Iyer wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to calculate interaction between specific residues using gmx > mdrun -rerun flag. The trajectory was in a dcd format

[gmx-users] Domain decomposition error with -rerun

Hi, I am trying to calculate interaction between specific residues using gmx mdrun -rerun flag. The trajectory was in a dcd format, which I converted to a trr file. I get the following error - Domain decomposition has not been implemented for box vectors that have non-zero components in direction

Dear all, I have the Gromos-54A7 force fields (FF) for the molecule number 1 in the below link, using thoes how I can have the FF for the molecules number 2,3 and 4 in the same link without doing extra calculations? What could be the relation between the FF of other molecule with the FF of molecule

Mark, I copied the exact command line from the script, right above the mdp file. It is literally how the script calls mdrun in this case: gmx mdrun -nt 2 -nb cpu -pme cpu -deffnm On 4/27/2018 1:52 PM, Mark Abraham wrote: Group cutoff scheme can never run on a gpu, so none of that should matte

Group cutoff scheme can never run on a gpu, so none of that should matter. Use ps and find out what the command lines were. Mark On Fri, Apr 27, 2018, 21:37 Alex wrote: > Update: we're basically removing commands one by one from the script that > submits the jobs causing the issue. The culprit

Update: we're basically removing commands one by one from the script that submits the jobs causing the issue. The culprit is both EM and the MD run: and GPUs are being affected _before_ MD starts loading the CPU, i.e. this is the initial setting up of the EM run -- CPU load is near zero, nvidia-smi

As I said, only two users, and nvidia-smi shows the process name. We're investigating and it does appear that it is EM that uses cutoff electrostatics and as a result the user did not bother with -pme cpu in the mdrun call. What would be the correct way to enforce cpu-only mdrun when coulombtype =

No. Look at the processes that are running, e.g. with top or ps. Either old simulations or another user is running. Mark On Fri, Apr 27, 2018, 20:33 Alex wrote: > Strange. There are only two people using this machine, myself being one of > them, and the other person specifically forces -nb cpu

Strange. There are only two people using this machine, myself being one of them, and the other person specifically forces -nb cpu -pme cpu in his calls to mdrun. Are any other GMX utilities (e.g. insert-molecules, grompp, or energy) trying to use GPUs? Thanks, Alex On Fri, Apr 27, 2018 at 5:33 A

The second column is PIDs so there is a whole lot more going on there than just a single simulation, single rank using two GPUs. That would be one PID and two entries for the two GPUs. Are you sure you're not running other processes? -- Szilárd On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 5:52 AM, Alex wrote: > Hi
