Looks ok, but that‘s something you need to observe for system specially.

Dear Norman Geist,

Thanks for your help. I think that I should choose fullElectFrequency 2 and this will be more suitable for my conf file. Could you please share your thougts about this issue ? Which value is suitable for my conf file ? By the way I don't run on GPUs. But I want to run my md simulations on GPUs in stead of CPUs. GPUs is nearly 5x faster than CPUs.

 

Best regards.

Hi,

 

looks ok for me, I think you got the points.

 

Please expect a bad energy conservation with fullelectfrequency 5. Are you running on GPUs?

 

Good luck

Norman Geist.

Dear Norman Geist,

Thanks for your reply. According to your valuable explanations I arranged the conf file with the comments for a general namd restart job conf file. Could you please look over the attached namd.conf file and confirm if I did it right ? If I missed or did something wrong in namd.conf file please warn me. I should definitely learn this procedure right for my thesis study. So Your answer will clarify the general restart procedure and also all what I wanted to know.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards.

Hi anonymus,

 

It’s hard to point out your problem. If you want to run a 10ns simulation and want to have 1000 frames, you just need to save your dcd every 10ps. The firsttimestep parameter is optional and only causes the step number to run from there, but it will nevertheless do the amount of steps you ordered.

 

firsttimestep 500

run 1000

 

will result in last frame to be 1500

 

I think thats what you wanted to know, if not please explain more.

 

Norman Geist.

Dear namd experts,

 

I want to perform 10 ns md simulation for 1000 record in NVT ensamble for analysis of the system. To do this I searched for restart files and examined lots of files which are different from each other. Then I generated a restart conf file that starts from the last step in namd.out file . But I’m confused about restart procedure. And I’m not sure if my restart conf file is true for 10 ns with 1000 record . So I need an expert help . Could you please look over the attached conf file and share your thoughts with me ?

 

Best regards.
