Description
Modifying or biasing the dynamics of atomistic systems can result in faster mixing and convergence of thermodynamic observables, but it generally yields non-physical kinetics. I will introduce a family of so called "Accelerated Molecular Dynamics" methods that are specifically designed to produce statistically accurate "state-to-state" dynamics for metastable systems at a much reduced computational cost compared to brute force molecular dynamics. I will discuss the basics of the methodology, as well as implementation on parallel computers.
