metadynamics

Hello:
This is to ask whether there is any plan to extend NAMD-CUDA to
bias-exchange metadynamics, temperature-exchange metadynamics, and
reconnaissance metadynamics. This is just to plan with my work.

I was not careful enough to appreaciate that PLUMED-NAMD is at a single
processor. I compiled NAMD2.9-CUDA4.0 with PLUMED1.3, including recon, and
it seemed to run on multiple GPUs, by inserting commands for PLUMED into
the NAMD conf file (just a "distance" job on a large protein I was engaged
with). According to nvidia-smi, all GPUs were involved, and the log file
showed PLUMED involved. Now, having been informed that PLUMED is at a
single CPU with NAMD, it must have been fake success.

Thanks
