NAMD 2.10b1: occasional corrupted frame in binary dcd output

Hi all,

I've noticed an issue with NAMD 2.10b1 ibverbs version. Since upgrading, I've noticed that every now and again (roughly one frame in a few hundred, on a 400k atom system) it writes a frame to the dcd file that VMD cannot handle:

dcdplugin) read_dcdstep: corruption or unrecognized file structure

If asked to read from a frame after the offending one VMD continues to read with no trouble and there are no obvious problems in the trajectory itself, so it seems to be only a minor headache. Perhaps it's already been fixed in the release version (which should be installed by our HPC team after new year).

Cheers,

Tristan
