[gmx-developers] Monte Carlo Simulations

[Shirts, Michael (mrs5pt)]

Hi, Andre-

Having an implementation of the CRA moves would be great, since those are
complicated.  Again, the MAIN problem is putting together a general MC
framework for all the different move types -- putting the code into the
current framework probably won't be that useful.  I'll be keeping track of
the interested names; once 4.6 is out the door, we can start talking about
the best way to put everything together in 5.0.

Best,
