Description

nstexpanded was checking conditionally on ir->efep instead of ir->bExpanded. This might have led to incorrect energies being used for expanded ensemble sampling with free-energy=on and nstexpanded not a multiple of nstcalcenergy. I have not checked if results would actually be wrong in this case.

Correct grompp nstexpanded/nstcalcenergy check

With expanded ensemble, but without free-energy perturbation, grompp
would not check if nstexpanded was a multiple of nstcalcenergy.
If the latter was not the case, results might have been incorrect.
Also added a check in mdrun to catch old, incorrect tpr files.

Fixes #2714

Correct VV integrator nstcalcenergy use

With velocity Verlet integrators, mdrun would compute energies
which contribute to averages in the energy output and might be
used for expanded ensemble calculcations one step too late.

Revision 626e3818 (diff)
Added by Berk Hess about 1 year ago

Work around expanded ensemble issues

Two bugs could cause expanded ensemble sampling to use
outdated or zero energies. In these cases mdrun now modifies
nstcalcenergy to 1 to avoid these bugs.

Note: This change should not be merged upstream, since there
is a proper fix for release-2019.

Michael, could you check if this actually have allowed mdrun to generate incorrect results?
The simtemp regression test is affected by this.
