[gmx-users] Re: v-rescale

[Peter C. Lai]

I am not sure where the idea of using berendsen barostat with the v-rescale 
thermostat for equilibration came from, however. Doesn't the typical 
equilibration begin with v-rescale for temperature equilibration then 
adding parinello-rahman barostat then switching to nose-hoover for production 
runs (as nose-hoover chains result in the correct canonical distribution)?
