Re: Adaptive tempering implementation in NAMD differs

Hi Nicholas,

I spoke with a member of Ma's group and was shown a few plots of the
adaptive temperature for simulations he had run. They were all similar to
what is seen in Fig.6 of the paper. However, the local behavior of the
temperature showed a far more gradual rate of change than what I am
observing for system temperature from adaptive tempering in NAMD. There
were no instances (at least that I saw) where the temperature changed by
large amounts (eg. 100K) in under a picosecond. I suspect that this local
behavior can also be seen in Fig.6 if we could 'enhance' the view along
time axis. Have you any thoughts on this?

Best,
Sachin
