Hi,

The problem with charm was indeed the missing libs on the slave nodes. 
After I added the missing libs the charm tests worked fine.

Next I moved to compile NAMD.  I just followed your instructions and 
copied the "Linux-i686-Clustermatic.arch" to 
"Linux-amd64-Clustermatic.arch" here is what the file looks like:

NAMD_2.5_Source/arch# cat Linux-amd64-Clustermatic.arch
include .rootdir/arch/Linux-amd64-g++.arch

CHARMARCH = net-linux-amd64-clustermatic


--------
here is what Linux-amd64-g++.arch looks like:

NAMD_2.5_Source/arch# cat Linux-amd64-g++.arch
NAMD_ARCH = Linux-amd64
CHARMARCH = net-linux-amd64-clustermatic

CXX = g++ -DSOCKLEN_T=socklen_t -DNO_STRSTREAM_H
CXXOPTS = -O3 -fexpensive-optimizations -ffast-math
CC = gcc
COPTS = -O3 -fexpensive-optimizations -ffast-math



-----------------------

Next I tried to configure and compile:

NAMD_2.5_Source/arch# ./config Linux-amd64-Clustermatic

this worked and generated the NAMD executables with out any errors.
I ran this test on NAMD:

  ./charmrun ++skipmaster ++verbose ++startpe 0 +p2 ./namd2 /tmp/alanin

WRITING EXTENDED SYSTEM TO OUTPUT FILE AT STEP 9
WRITING COORDINATES TO OUTPUT FILE AT STEP 9
WRITING VELOCITIES TO OUTPUT FILE AT STEP 9
==========================================
WallClock: 1.611247  CPUTime: 1.201816  Memory: 8895 kB
Charmrun> Graceful exit.


It seems to be working fine.  Thank you very much for getting me this far.




----------------------
I would like to have the fftw libs with NAMD so I tried this:

NAMD_2.5_Source/arch# ./config tcl fftw Linux-amd64-Clustermatic

If I add the fftw or tcl or both I get error messages and I do not get a 
NAMD binary.

I installed fftw-3.0.1 from the fftw website with out any problems and 
just pointed the Linux-amd64.fftw to the fftw install.

I also have tcl-8.4 installed on the system and I edited the 
Linux-amd64.tcl file to reflect the location of the libs and include files 
for tcl.


Is there anything special I need to do to get NAMD to compile with fftw 
support? I checked the NAMD www site for precompiled libraries for both 
tcl and fftw for amd64 but found nothing. Anyone have these libs 
precompiled to work with NAMD?

Thank you very much for all the help

Rene

Hi Rene,

Good to hear Charm++ and NAMD runs on opteron with clustermatic 5.

For fftw support, you need to download fftw version 2 instead of version 
3 in order to compile NAMD.
And you need to compile tcl in its static form (.a) instead of shared 
lib for NAMD.
For detailed instruction on how to configure and compile it, please see 
my NAMD wiki at
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/wiki/index.cgi?NamdCompile

Alternatively, I think there are binaries on NAMD website you can 
download for the fftw and tcl precompiled for opteron.

Dear all,
   I builded the net version of charm++/namd on AMD64
cluster.But when i test the command "charmrun hello"
the error is "ERROR>Cannot obtain IP address of
localhost".
If i only use "namd2  <configfile>" the error
"segmentation fault" appears after fftw is done.
   Why they cannot work ?
   Should i compile "mpi" version of charm++? 

Thanks!

Hi,

Could you please tell us how did you compile Charm++ and NAMD?
For parallel run case, you need to write a nodelist file which normally
should not contain localhost. But specifically for your case, I bet you
don't have an entry in /etc/hosts for localhost, and so localhost is not
able to be resolved to the IP address of 127.0.0.1. Try command "ping
localhost" and see what happens.

It's a wonderful world.  Almost magical at times.  This is exactly what 
I'm looking for.  Would it be possible for somebody to put a binary of 
this somewhere so I could try it out?

BTW, now that I know about CVS and Wiki, I may give compiling another 
chance, but in the meantime, binaries are very helpful.  Maybe you 
should have some *bleeding edge* binaries to go along with CVS?

Thanks!

Hello,
   I ran namd on Lemieux for the very first time and got the following
error:

Info: Using AMBER format force field!
Info: AMBER PARM FILE        subtest.prmtop
Info: Exclusions in PARM file will be ignored!
Reading parm file (subtest.prmtop) ...
not equipped to read perturbation prmtop
FATAL ERROR: Failed to read AMBER parm file!

Since my programs worked with my local version of NAMD, does anyone
know what is wrong with my prmtop file and what do they mean by
'perturbation prmtop'?  

Thanks.

Julie

Hi 
  I downloaded the latest Charm++ and compiled the mpi
version of Charm++/NAMD on amd64 cluster.They can work
now.Thanks!
  I made a simple 100 steps minimization.But why the
CPUTime is become longer with increasing the number of
cpus?What factors affect the CPUTime?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Adding CPUs sure can slow down program if
1. your atom system is too small, and then imaging more people do one
trivial task can be slower than just one man do the same task alone due
to the synchronization overhead.
2. The communication hardware is slow, for example 100Mbps ethernet is
inefficient especially for small job. In which case, there is not enough
computation work to overlap the communication latency.

so try some larger system for example apoa1 benchmark (you can download
it from NAMD website) and see how it scales.

Hello

I am simulating a protein with NAMD, using a basic set of parameters.
I minimize my protein for 1000 timesteps, then run for 50000
timesteps. I've found that the TOTAL energy of the system increases
over time. I guess I'm trying to figure out the reason behind this.
Could it be that I am seeing the entropic effects on the protein over
time? Or perhaps the minimization created a structure that is lower in
energy than would be expected in vivo, and the simulation brings the
structure back to a more normal state?

Thanks for any input,
Peter Bazeley

Hi Peter,
   In the microconanical ensemble (NVE) energy drift (change in total 
energy as a function of time) occurs due to finite integration errors 
associated with discretizing newton's equations of motion. 
Typically the total kinetic energy becomes more positive correlating with 
an increase in temperature. You should check these two quantities, and see 
if they are increasing.

   If you are running in the canonical (NVT) or Gibbs (NPT) ensemble your 
total energy should fluctuate.

   You want to avoid energy drift in NVE because it is non-physical, and 
can mess up your dynamics.

   To minimize energy drift make sure your system is well minimized 
(Gradient tolerance < 1.0 or less), heat your sytem in steps (I typically 
due it over the course of 300 ps) to the 
temperature desired, and use a reasonable time integration step 
(conventionally 1 fs at 300K).

   I don't believe you are seeing entropic effect, as the energy you are 
probably looking at is the energy of the system (which neglects the 
entropic term) and not the free energy.

   The minimization step is equivalent to carrying out a simulation at 
temperature equal to 0 K, because the motion is determine only by the 
gradient of the potential energy, and there is no kinetic term. Thus, if 
you did not heat your system up properly, I believe jumping the 
temperature from 0K up to 300 K could lead to bad van der Walls 
interactions, which would cause your energy to drift.

Hope that helps,
Ed

Dear All;

I need help about the following error occured during
simulation.

 Processor 0 Exiting: Called CmiAbort

 Reason: BUG ALERT: Stray PME grid charges
 detected!
 
 BUG ALERT: NAMD has detected a bug.  Please notify
namd@ks.uiuc.edu.

 req_handle_abort called
 Fatal error on PE 0> BUG ALERT: Stray PME grid
charges
detected!
 
 BUG ALERT: NAMD has detected a bug.  Please notify
 namd@ks.uiuc.edu.

I could visualize my system and everything seems to be
ok . I have some free charges around my system which I
did put them by using VMD autoionize plug-in in order
to neutralize the system. I made 10000 minimization by
using usual NAMD procedure no simulated annealing or
such modification.

Hi Ed

Thanks for your response. You are right in that there is a gradual
rise in both temperature and kinetic energy, which corresponds to the
rise in total energy. My total simulation time is only 100 ps, so I
imagine that jumping from a temperature of 0 to 300 would have a
significant effect.

I know that in a simple force field equation, potential energy is the
sum of the bond, angle, improper, dihedral, electrostatic, and VDW
energies. Do you know if the boundary and miscellaneous energies get
added to that as well?

It seems that 300K is a very common temperature in NAMD runs, yet
physiological conditions are closer to 310K. Do you know why 300 is
preferred?


Thanks again,
Peter Bazeley

Have you looked at the namdwiki page

and excluded any of these possibilities?

Hi Peter,
   If you are running periodic boundary conditions I don't think there 
should be a boundary energy. If you run non-periodic boundary conditions 
then I believe that these additional energy terms are added to the total 
energy.

   300 K is roughly "room temperature", which I believe is the temperature 
many in vitro expermiments are carried out at.

   Your system will likely not change much in simulations between 300 and 
310, unless your protein is cooperative to an extreme. So run at either 
temperature.

   Many of the questions you are asking are important to know, and 
understand. I suggest you read the documentation on the NAMD site, and do 
the online tutorials so you can get a good understanding of how to carry 
out MD sims. Also, there are also excellent books by Frenkel, and Leach 
that are a good introduction.

Regards,
Ed

Hi all

This is a simple question/answer, but I'd just like to be sure. In
regards to the tCoupleFile/tCoupleCol parameters when using
temperature coupling, is there any conversion/translation required for
the coefficient values? In other words, if I want a coefficient of
0.1, can I simply put 0.1 in the PDB file?


Thanks,
Peter Bazeley

Hi all, 

I applied for a CVS key for namd but never got one.  Are they difficult
to get?  I just wanted to check out the latest version, so I can compile
it for the combination: mpi amd64 gcc myrinet.  Which seems impossible
to do properly without the newest version of namd.

I never received one either. It's been about two weeks now and no info 
from them. I do not know why this is not working.

Hi,

I am trying to run a simulation in the NVT ensemble, but have a couple of
practical questions regarding the choice of temperature control.

What would an appropriate value be for the temperature coefficient when running
a simulation in NVT ensemble with Berendsen temperature coupling?

What about the Langevin coupling coefficient? So far we have only used Langevin
dynamics in Stochatic Boundary simulations, so I am a bit confused about using
it, as a means to controlling the temperature. I have seen previous posts on
the list giving a value of 1 ps-1 is that a good value, or does it restrain the
protein to much?

Hope you can help me, thanks in advance

I would say: use the smallest value that keeps your temperature reasonably 
constant, to stay close to Newtonian dynamics (at least on short timescales). 
If nothing terrible is happening in your system, 0.1 or 0.2 ps-1 might be 
enough.

Hello,
   Has anyone successfully run NAMD on lemieux?  I'm having a 
prmtop reading error (for a prmtop file which is read successfully
on my local machines) and don't know if its a NAMD 2.4 vs 2.5
problem or that it can't find the file and is a scripting or
prun problem.  Can you share a sample script file with the
prun call and do we have to generate the node list first?  Thanks.

Hi all,

does anyone know what exactly happens when I apply a force to a group of 
atoms using the tcl intrface?

Assume something like this:
I speccify a group of 5 atoms using "addgroup" ten I apply a force of 
1000 kcal/mol/A to it.

Will each atom be pulled with 1000 kcal/mol/A or will the force be 
distributed among the atoms so that each one feels only 200 kcal/mol/A.
Or is the force even scaled with the mass?


Example:

tclForcesScript {

set group [addgroup 1 2 3 7 10]

proc calcforces {} {

     global group

     ... # do stuff

     addforce $group 1000
}

Thanks for help,

	Jan

In my previous email there was an error:

the force should be appied with:

     addforce $group {1000 0 0}

rather than

     addforce $group 1000



Sorry,

Hello,
    Does anyone know how to continue a job from the
restart files where the velocity information will be
read as well as the coordinate information?
    Also, if just the coordinate information is read (with
'coordinates filename', how would you explain that type of restart, all
atoms start from the same place but are kicked in a different direction -
and is this even a repeatable simlation?  Would it obtain the velocity 
info anyway by default from the beta column of the coordinate file or
does it have to be read in from the .vel file?

Thanks.

Hi,

I am trying to move the N and C terminus tails to positions that they
are likely to take such that I can dock models of two domains.  Since
I can calculate approximately where this point is going to be, I was
thinking of using harmonic restraints to move the tails of both
proteins into their approximate position.  Does anyone see any
problems with this approach?

Should the values listed in a previous thread of consexp =2 and the
force constant = 5 be adequate to work in this situation??  If I
decide to go with a higher force constant, do you advise that I ramp
up to this higher number?  And finally, should I apply force to only
one atom (e.g. the backbone N, or backbone C for moving N and C
respectively), or do you recommend applying forces to the entire
residue?

Many thanks for all answers/ suggestions.
Charles

Using the velocity or binvelocity command you can specify the velocity
file.  You can search previous threads on thsi forum for more
information.  Also, you can specify where the last simulation started
using the "firsttimestep" parameter.  Look in the namd users guide for
more details on this.

Good luck!
Charles

Something pretty bad happened here, probably not in charmrun. The 
message seemed to be corrupted and delivered to a wrong function.
We haven't tested on Linux Alpha for a long time. I can't tell for sure 
why this happens.
could you try run this again, but with "+netpoll" option, which disables 
asynchronous I/O interruption.

I tried running charmrun with the "+netpoll" and "++netpoll" options and it
doesn't recognize either one.... Maybe the Linux Alpha build of charm++ is
outdated and doesn't include that option??

Which version of charm/namd is this? It must be very old.
You can try charm >= 5.8, NAMD 2.5 source.

The binary was indeed tested on the machine we had, however it was more 
than one year old, and I don't know if there is any upgrade on the 
system libraries which may cause some compatibility problem. You may 
have to compile from source.
I  think we no long have that machine, otherwise I can run some test.

I don't know what's going on. Unfortunately, I don't have the permission 
to modify the passwd file.

For those of you who needs the source urgently, please download it from:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/~gzheng/namd2.tar.gz.
It includes Ruxandra's fixes for gcc 3.4.

Please be hurry, it won't be there for too long.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

Hi everyone,

I have already run one calculation of a difference in binding free energy 
using the FEP module within NAMD. I am about to start calculating a second 
and need your help . 

In my first calculation (and this will happen again) I encountered the 
well-known "end-point catastrophe" where, because the van der Waals component 
is scaled linearly by lambda, the repulsive term remains and prevents the 
water exploring the void created when the atom has truly vanished.

One solution to this is to follow the "separation-shifted" method of 
Zacharias, Straatsma & McCammon (J Chem Phys 100 9025 (1994)) where, for 
nonbonded interactions with alchemicalk atoms, the conventional vdW LJ form 

V = (1-lambda) [ A/r^12 - B/r^6 ]

is replaced by

V = (1-lambda) [ A/(r^2 +dlambda)^6 - B/(r^2 +dlambda)^3 ]

(where dlambda is a supplied parameter)

which is the same when lambda = 1. This form allows a much smoother transition 
as lambda=0,1 is approached.

Now the questions are,

1) how and where would one change this in the source code? I have had a 
rummage but understanding the object structure would take me more time than I 
would like (I am not an expert at C++). In principal the logic is simple: for 
alchemical nonbonded vdw interactions, apply the new functional form, for 
everything else, keep it as it is.

2) would this be useful to anyone else?

Thanks,

--Phil

Hi Philip,

You are pointing out an issue I am concerned about too, and possibly the main 
weakness of the current alchemical FEP module. I mentioned it briefly to 
people in the Schulten group when I last visited them, but since it was not 
my main purpose, we did not come to any useful conclusion on that.

As you say, implementing a separation-shifted potential does not raise any 
conceptual problem. A programmer familiar with NAMD and in particular the 
force-field implmentation should only need a reasonable amount of work to 
get it done. The problem boils down to the following: the group of people 
in the community that actually master most of the NAMD code is, as far as I 
know, small. Possibly very small.

When alchemical FEP was contributed by our group, the post-doc who coded it 
had to spend a long time just to get familiar with the NAMD code. Now we 
would very much like to add such improvements as soft-core potentials, but we 
do not currently have the manpower for it. If you can contribute to an 
implementation, it will definitely be a significant advance for all users of 
this method. The best way I can imagine for now is to involve Klaus 
Schulten, who has access to both manpower and, obviously, technical knowledge 
concerning NAMD.

Anyway, we commonly use that code, and there are ways to try to circumvent the 
end-point problem. The main point is a careful design of the windows, 
employing a large number of smaller and smaller windows as lambda approaches 
1. I can send you an example config file tomorrow.

Another improvement I have thought of recently is to replace the FEP formula 
with an overlap sampling method, for instance Bennett's method (see Lu, Singh 
and Kofke, J Chem Phys 118 (2003)). This significantly improves convergence 
for FEP calculations with a limited sampling.
This is doable with the current version of the code, by post-processing the 
energy data output by the FEP module. I have a small program that does it. 
Anyone interested can just email me.
Unfortunately, it is of no help with regard to the end-point catastrophe, 
because overlap sampling is often not feasible in the very last window. I 
will not expand on the reasons here - they are probably obvious to 
specialists and not so interesting to non-specialists.


Thanks for raising that point!
Best,
Jerome

Hi, 

I am trying to run the script 'namdstats' downloaded from the NAMD
homepage. When using it on a minimization log-file I get the following warning,
no matter which frames I give as input. Does anyone know what to do? I am not
familiar with tcl scripts...


N 0
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: division by zero attempted


Thanks
Leyla

Hi,

I am going to buy a few computers (4-5) for NAMD computations. What is the 
best choose: AMD Athlon64 3000+ or Intel PIV Prescott 2.4GHz FSB533?

Thanks,

input file(restrained_md_example.in) in web site

My question is how to prepare consref and conskfile files if I want to
