I have successfully installed both tinker8 and tinker9. Using GPU in tinker9 really speeds up calculations, thank you! However, I run into a problem. When I tried to minimize a structure, tinker9 gives the results shown below in Snapshot 1. However, if after removing file with extension *xyz_2 (to ensure that starting point is the same), tinker 8 is run, results are different (see Snapshot 2 below),
Also if you stop tinker8 after several steps when function values drops below 10^10 (that's somewhat empirical value, do not take it as carved in the stone...) and continue from that point with tinker9, everything runs smoothly (see snapshot 3). The force field used in the calculations is charm22.prm (from your distribution) and tinker.key does not contain any additional info, only path to forcefield file.
It seems that if F value is large at first step (and it may happen if your model file has some clashes), the value overflow happens and somewhere '-' sign is erroneously assigned to the results of calculations. Could you fix that problem? Without that it is not possible to use tinker9 for large-scale calculations in automated regime.
Thank you.
