Recently, my tutor and me tried using lammps to stimulate a NPT-ensemble of water by TIP4P model. Unfortunately a problem harassed us nearly a week.

When we checked the log file, no any information were recorded. We did not catch up with the same problems in the past, stimulating ensemble like Ni, Argon and other matters. So that we hope to get some suggestion from you and express deep appreciation for any possible help.

you are using a 100 A coulomb cutoff.
that is ridiculously large and will cause abysmal performance.
as a consequence your PPPM grid is so small, that it cannot
be parallelized across the 12 CPU (core)s that you are using.
hence the refusal of LAMMPS to continue.
you should try with a coulomb cutoff that is identical
to the LJ cutoff and then adjust it so that you get the
best overall performance.
if you haven't done so, you should upgrade to the latest
version of LAMMPS, which has an optimized version
of the pair style that you are using.
oh, and your relaxations times for fix NPT are similarly crazy.
check out the documentation for what is reasonable. yours
are by many orders of magnitude too small.
