Table 1. Combinations of Switching Length Nswitch in fs and Number of Switches (Nreplicate) Studieda.
Nswitch [fs] | Nreplicate | blocksize | ttotal [ns] | |
---|---|---|---|---|
NSWI200 | 200 | 8000 | 1000 | 1.6 |
NSWI500 | 500 | 3200 | 400 | 1.6 |
NSWI1000 | 1000 | 1600 | 200 | 1.6 |
NSWI2000 | 2000 | 800 | 100 | 1.6 |
NSWI2000red | 2000 | 200 | 25 | 0.4 |
Except for NSWI2000red, in which a reduced subset of the NSWI2000 data was used, the cumulative length of all switching steps ttotal is identical in all cases to keep computational cost constant. The column “blocksize” indicates the number of switches started from restart files saved during each of the eight equilibrium simulations carried out for each system.
