Hi,
Thanks to Brian and Dr. Valencia for their help.
The machines are a cluster of Sun SPARC 64 bit processors running
Solaris 7. I am using bsub for multithreading. My administrator may
let me run charm+ if you think that it may solve the problem, but
there may be some good reason that it wasn't used before (namd was
compiled by a colleague of mine, and I am not sure of specific issues
he faced when putting it together).
The system is a protein, lipid, and water system, in total, 58,236
atoms constructed from a protein homology model. The system was
assembled using VMD, the membrane 1.0 plug-in, and solvate 1.2 (to
solvate the top and bottom where the protein was sticking out of the
pre-equilibrated lipid-water system constructed by membrane). I
deleted all atoms within 1A of the protein and am now trying to
minimize the system.
Based on Dr. Valencia and Dr. Bennion's suggestions I changed the
script file. I adapted the one intended to heat the system after the
minimization. I have included the new script file as an attachment.
The run still crashes after 199 steps, but this time it returns a
malloc error. Short by 2GB?
The last part of the output is pasted below. Many of the forces are
positive again.
I have tried to fix the protein and minimize the water/lipids; the
output is pasted below. The system lasted for 299 steps this time,
but received the same malloc error.
I have NOT deleted the atoms which fall outside of my periodic
boundary. If you recommend I will do this and try to run the new
script again. I am acting under the assumption that these atoms will
be ignored.
Is this coorect?
Because the problem seems to be a memory allocation error, I am
thinking that the next step will to be trying to convince my
administrator to compile charm+.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Do I need to recompile all of namd, or can I just compile charm+ without it?
Thanks again for all of the help,
Charles
