[gmx-users] REMD log files

[N-J.M. Macaluso]

Hi,

    Thanks for your previous responses to my questions on REMD. I have a 
general question about understanding REMD in gromacs. Can someone break 
down how to read the .log file? For instance, one of the main goals I have 
is to graph the time evolution of temperature exchange for a specific 
replica (eg. Replica 4). I would like to show that my simulation was able 
to have a random walk in temperature space. Furthermore, how would I show a 
random walk in potential energy space? My trouble is that I don't know 
where to extract this information from an REMD log file. There is one small 
section from my .log file after an REMD run below for an example.

Thanks,

Max
