Great! I didn’t know about the parameter.
Thanks,

Hello Sunhwan, you can also use the option enableFitGradients to achieve the same result.

RMSD colvar is particularly problematic if you use large number of CPUs. I also had about 10x slow down in performance when I had to include RMSD colvar in BG/Q. In addition, the scaling performance saturate pretty quickly. At the time, I had ~160K atoms and the scaling saturated after 32 cores with colvar turned on. I had total of 9 clovers (4 RMSDs).
At the time, I have found a bottleneck in the colvar implementation and I’d like to share it here. Below is the modification that I made in colvaratoms.C file and it almost speed up the simulation about 9x. The scaling also improved up to 128 cores.
