Re: restarting Gaussian accelerated MD fails

Dear David, Dear all,

I am still having this problem when trying to restart gaussian aMD
simulations in NAMD 2.13. I sent you sometime ago all files to reproduce
the problem.

I also have a question regarding the k0 values. During the gAMD
equilibration, these values are updated at each time step whereas during
a production run , k0 is maintained constant throughout the simulation
..  That is correct, right ?

Now, what I noticed is that if I run a production run for 25 million
steps after 5 million equilibration phase, the restart file ".gamd"
after 25 million steps has on the second column "5000000" ... As his is
the step, it should be 25000000 .. Is it possible that the issue is
actually because of the program not being able to properly read this
restart file ?

Thanks for any advice on how to fix this issue ...

Best wishes
Vlad
