Request for your help in running g_mmbpsa command.

I have given the following command for my protein (particularly NBD domain-384 residues) and an inhibitor as the ligand.
Command:g_mmpbsa -f trajfinal.xtc -s md_0_1.tpr -i pbsa.mdp -pbsa -mm energy_MM.xvg -pol polar.xvg -apol apolar.xvg -b 55000 -e 100000 -dt 10 -n index.ndx.

It has been four days already but the simulation has not stopped , It seems to be going In a loop motion even though the output files for this command have been generated. I tried troubleshooting but I'm unable to reach a conclusion. The screenshot during run is as follows:

For a desktop with corei5 processors, it takes typically about 1 day to get  energy values from 10,000 ns with dt=50  . Since you're doing it for 45000 ns(100-55) with  dt=10 this will take much more time on a personal computer. Might even go for more than 10 days on a PC unless you have a better system setup.

try for smaller trajectories, instead of whole trajectory

Also, this one in the screenshot: "NOsh:  Deprecated use of ION keyword! Use key-value pairs" wont affect results? If yes, how to go about this?

I have run 100 ns of simulation, and mm-PBSA analysis is still running even after 10 days...I have used these commands sequentially, and command no. 4 highlighted in red is taking time...it is continuesly running .....



mMPBSA analysis commands......
  

1. Calculation of potential energy in Vacuum


g_mmpbsa -f md_0_1_noPBC.xtc -s md_0_1.tpr -n index.ndx -pdie 2 -decomp


2. Calculation of polar solvation energy


g_mmpbsa -f md_0_1_noPBC.xtc -s md_0_1.tpr -n index.ndx -i polar.mdp -nomme -pbsa -decomp


3. Calculation of non-polar solvation energy

(a) For SASA-only model:

g_mmpbsa -f md_0_1_noPBC.xtc -s md_0_1.tpr -n index.ndx -i apolar_sasa.mdp -nomme -pbsa -decomp -apol sasa.xvg -apcon sasa_contrib.dat


(b) For SAV-only model:

g_mmpbsa -f md_0_1_noPBC.xtc -s md_0_1.tpr -n index.ndx -i apolar_sav.mdp -nomme -pbsa -decomp -apol sav.xvg -apcon sav_contrib.dat


4.One step calculation


g_mmpbsa -f md_0_1_noPBC.xtc -s md_0_1.tpr -n index.ndx -i pbsa.mdp -pdie 2 -pbsa -decomp



5. Average Binding Energy Calculation


python MmPbSaStat.py -m energy_MM.xvg -p polar.xvg -a apolar.xvg

Hello
If you run g_mmpbsa for 100ns it will take forever even in supercomputers. The best way for running large simulations is that you can extract last 10ns or 5ns of your xtc file using this command 
gmx trjconv -s <file_name>.tpr -f <file_namenoPBC>.xtc -o <file_name_noPBC30-50ns>.xtc -n index.ndx -pbc mol -ur compact -b 30000 -e 50001    
and then run the g_mmpbsa for your new 10 or 5ns xtc file.
Best
Avrin
