Hi Sadegh,
Yes, this is indeed a slightly undocumented update in the latest version
(though not much less documented than the old version).
The derivatives are separated by alchemical groups (group 1 is scaled with
lambda and group 2 is scaled with 1 - lambda, these are specified in the
input PDB with 1 and -1).
Note also that *everything in the alchOutFile is an average*. The normal
output is a local/block average over the last alchOutFreq steps and the AVG
columns are cumulative averages. There's really no good reason to have
alchOutFreq as small as you have it - it just hurts performance due to
frequent I/O.
It is up to the user to decide what they want to do with the output. If you
are using simple trapezoidal integration, you would have to scale each
column according to the appropriate deltaLambda increment (which you have
to compute yourself).
HTH,
BKR
P.S. Note also that the instantaneous TI derivatives are now also sent to
stdout according to outputEnergies. You can safely suppress all output to
alchOutFile by setting alchOutFreq 0 and just use the stdout if you prefer
- I sincerely doubt you would be able to detect a difference in the
analysis of any reasonable calculation.
