Metadynamics bias exchange on GPUGRID
Preliminary notes on sending a BE (Piana, J. Phys. Chem. B 2007, 111, 4553-4559) simulation on GPUGRID. BE allows one to have metadynamics on multiple CVs, scaling linearly rather than exponentially with respect to the dimensionality.
Setup
The BE_setup command organizes a directory hierarchy as follows
BEname/in/... <-- put your input files here
/config/... <-- configuration variables
/results/... <-- returned files
/stage/... <-- temporary area
/bin/... <-- executablesFollow the instructions on the screen. In principle one only needs to deal with the "in" directory.
Caveats
- The following values should be equal
- Restart frequency
- Print stride
- Hills deposition frequency
- Run length should be a multiple of the above
WU will be named C<n>R<m>S<s>, where <n>=1..N is the CV, <r>=1..M is the replica, and <s>=0..inf is the step.
