<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I am interested in adding parallel tempering to a Monte Carlo simulation engine known as GOMC. Naturally, I am using the GROMACS implementation as a guide. However, GOMC is not an MD engine, so I was concerned when
I read the error message noted in the subject of the email, found in repl_ex.cpp. My question is twofold:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<ol style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>Would a MC simulation, where moves are randomly chosen and accepted according to Metropolis criterion, be considered random integration?</li><li>Is there something theoretical that disqualifies random integrators from parallel tempering, or are they simply not supported by GROMACS at this time?</li></ol>
