Project updates

LW

  • Sage 2.2.1 full release – flaky 3-membered molecule in HMR tests

    • AMI: CBayly mentioned issues with 3-membered ring parameters

  • Sage 2.1.0 + OPC3 fit is about halfway done

    • Spend some time this week getting Evaluator on NRP

  • Fit with a looser MSM force constant value

  • Rest of the week:

    • Genetech, OpenFE collaborations, and polymer modelling

Project updates

BW

  • Torsion fitting / restrained minimization

    • LW: maybe try blanket 1kcal/mol restraint?

  • datasets

    • BW: going to submit benchmark S dataset

    • Phosphate dataset

      • Only ~7 throwing proper errors, most might be a memory issue

      • Proper errors – SCF convergence, linear angle errors, geometry optimization failed to converge

      • ~100 errors, possible segfault

      • ~56 finished

    • LW: please put up Hessian dataset of optimization set, not a clear procedure yet

  • smee

    • BW – SPICE dataset run had force constants not going to 0.

    • LW – does smee900 look similar to Sage? Is that why it performs better?

      • BW – looked pretty similar

      • BW – ~10x smaller dataset in Sage than Spice

    • LW – what’s the weighting between energies and forces?

      • BW – no other targets

Project updates

AMI

  • NAGL2

  • Dataset test set

    • AMI: debugged PCM issues with solvent, found it was an SCF convergence issue

      •  

  • Next week:

    • parameter splits
