Re: [ESPResSo-users] Espresso_bin and mpirun

[Olujide Olubiyi]

Thanks everyone. 

I have been able to submit the job although it is finding it difficult to link 
up to the cores:

 "waiting for 15 more clients"

I am not yes certain if this has anything to do with espresso or with the 
cluster I am working on.

I am running espresso with peptideB, and this is the command I used:

$PATH-to/mpiexec -n 1 $PATH-to/Espresso $PATH-to/peptidebuilder.tcl 
myconfig.tcl -espresso -replica

I have 16 cores on the computer node (already defined in an mpd.hosts file) I 
am attempting to use 
for the simulation. Here is the content of my myconfig.tcl file:

set amino_acids {
    {LYS LEU VAL PHE PHE ALA}
    {LYS LEU VAL PHE PHE ALA}
    {LYS LEU VAL PHE PHE ALA}
    {LYS LEU VAL PHE PHE ALA}
}

# Model oxygens and N-hydrogens - "on" or "off"
set display_O_H "on"


# Directory and filenames for output
set directory "REPX"
set PDB_file "$directory"
set filenumber 0



set espresso_switch "on"
set setbox_l {43.24 43.24 43.24}
set warm_time_step 0.01
set main_time_step 0.01
set verlet_skin 0.4
set langevin_gamma 1.0
set systemtemp [expr 1.0*$eps]

# electrostatics
set charges "off"

# The number of steps to integrate with capped forces
set warm_steps 500
# The number of times to call warmup    #total equilibration of 1ns
set warm_n_times 200


# OPTION #2: If replica flag is set
# Set the replica exchange temperatures

#300 K = 1.00
set replica_temps { 0.67 0.71 0.75 0.79 0.84 0.89 0.94 0.99 1.05 1.11 1.17 1.24 
1.31 1.39 1.47 1.55 }

# number of times to integrate between each replica MC step
set replica_timestep 1000
# number of replica exchange rounds
set replica_rounds 500000
# frequency at which replica pdb files are written
set replica_pdb_freq 10


I will appreciate your advice.
