Dear all,

I posted yesterday but didn't get answer..I guess it's due to my wrong approach to ask. I would like to explain more and hope I would get your help.

I'm doing an REMD, and want to have a strong temperature coupling to make sure every replica is at its target temperature. I guess I could do it by setting tau_t small in the Nose-hoover T coupling, but there will come the warning in Gromacs.

I maxwarned the warning to proceed, and find the temperature is ok, but I am not sure whether it will introduce some artifacts in the simulation and what kind of artifacts. Could you tell me? Thanks a lot.

The temperature coupling algorithms are discussed in the literature, when they were derived (citations in GROMACS manual) and subsequently. I suggest you do your own homework there. The use of REMD is more or less irrelevant to the trade-offs when deciding what temperature coupling scheme to use.

    Dear all,

    I wonder what will happen in Nose-hoover coupling when tau_t = dt
    * nsttcouple, while nsttcouple = nstlist. (I used -maxwarn 1 to
    ignore the Gromacs warning)

    I tried this setting, to find the temperature is OK, but I am not
    sure whether it will introduce some artifacts in the simulation
    and what kind of artifacts. Could you tell me? Thanks in advance.

    Best,

    Qin
