AW: question about CUDA-enabled

As I read you have fixed atoms, maybe near the box boundary?? That's also
often a reason for the message you see. See "useconstantarea" if this is the
right thing for you.

Hi,

 

As Axel mentioned this topic is discussed several times you may follow the
following links, and their are many more you can find the answers:

http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/mailing_list/namd-l.2008-2009/0300.html

 

your conf file looks OK, i suggest if you reduce timestep to 1, which is 2
in your file will help you, moreover, you can think about the value of
piston period and piston decay. As Axel mentioned in NPT system "

This question has been asked and answered probably hundreds of times. It has
nothing to do with CUDA. Please do a careful search of the mailing list
archive. Occasionally people give bad advice, because they don't understand
where the message is coming from (your box has shrunk too much and thus a
new domain decomposition has to be done, which cannot be done on the fly)."
is right.

Hi Abhi

I had done you'r suggestion previosly and I reduced ts to 0.1 even but It
not execute. It's intresting this conf file execute with NAMD-molticore but
not with CUDA!

this is the md conf file I used it

I think you must reduce your tilmestep to 1 and for NPT ensemble, try this,
and please post your config file

Dear NAMD users:

Hi

I want to simulate protein and nanosheet in water with using cuda-enabled in
the NPT ensamble with fixed-coordinated nanosheet. The minimization and
heating stages was executed without any error but in the md stage I
encounter with following error:

FATAL ERROR: Periodic cell has become too small for original patch grid!
Possible solutions are to restart from a recent checkpoint,
increase margin, or disable useFlexibleCell for liquid simulation.

please help me. I will appreciate the oncoming helps.

regards:Maryam
