Notes:

  • For these tests, first the psf file was created and then converted to GROMACS format.
  • The psf files for these systems are in test/systems.
  • For more info on automation of these tests, see test/systems/README.md.
  • GMX-NAMD is the absolute difference (i.e. gromacs-namd) and % |diff| is (gromacs-namd)/namd * 100.
  • NAMD version is 2.9 and GROMACS version is 4.6.3.
  • For testing your own systems, make sure they are minimized before comparing the energies.
Table 1. Summary of the rmsd of potential terms between GROMACS 4.6.3 and NAMD 2.9 (kcal/mol). Single and double correspond to the single and double-precision versions of GROMCAS.
