Hi Chris

Thank you for the very prompt response. I'll restart from the terminal lambda state with appropriate equilibration.

Best,

Matthew

Hello Matthew,

if this is a continuation of the forward run, there is no real need to
re-equilibrate. Suffice to restart in the other direction, assuming
that your have an appropriate number of equilibration steps per
stratum, or ë-state, to eliminate any possible Hamiltonian lag.

Thanks you for the kind comment on our tutorials.

Regards,

Chris Chipot
