Subject: Re: AMBER: dynamic memory allocation problem in nmode

Hi again,
 
 I have installed Linux Suse x86_64 on my PC 64bit machine. I then
recompiled
 nmode in 64 bit mode. I still get a similar error message that I
posted on 2.26.2006 as seen below.
 I have 1GB of dynamic memory and 5 GB of swap space. Would it be
possible to allocate the swap space to solve the memory problem with nmode ?
or Do I really have to do some shopping to get more memory sticks?
  
Also, I am wondering about the new nmode module of AMBER v9. How does nmode9 handles memory allocation problems in single unit PC computers? Is there anyway that nmode9 can use some harddisk space to expand its memory capacity in Linux x86_64 systems?
   
 best regards,
 
 Jenk

  Hi I have posted similar error recently. However, I believe there is no
immediate solution for it. This is becuase you system probably has more than
4000 atoms (It is clearly mentioned in amber manual). I solved my problem by
by cutting out many/some of the residues (mostly at loop area) far from the
ligand. Of couse one needs to add C/N-terminal atoms. YOu may require to
minimize the system bit longer.

I hope it may help you,

Best wishes,
