Problem with Mac Version
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2009 6:21 pm
Hi,
I'm an experienced GROMACS user and I'm having some problems getting GROMACS-openmm working.
First, I cannot get the CUDA version to work. I get the following error:
cudaMalloc CUDAStream::Allocate failed out of memory
As far as I can tell, I have the CUDA driver properly installed and my paths setup correctly. I can run some of the NVIDIA samples, so I think the libraries should be installed correctly.
Second, if I rename the openmm cuda dylib so that I am using the reference CPU library, I get a warning that all of my Born radii are 1e-6 and my simulation quickly blows up. I have copied the params.agp file to the appropriate location. I notice that both the windows and linux versions include a modified grompp binary, while the Mac version contains neither a binary or source modification to grompp. Is a modification necessary to read in the appropriate Born radii and surface tensions?
Finally, although I realize this is a preview release, the current method of distributing this package is very confusing. I think it would be much more convenient to release a complete binary package for each platform. I have built GROMACS literally dozens of times on different platforms and I have no idea what I have done wrong in this case. I've tried several times and have followed the instructions exactly and I still don't have it working.
Any help you can provided would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Justin
