- Share the bias and PMF estimates within and/or between simulations.
- Within a simulation, the bias will be shared between biases that have the
- same :mdp:`awh1-share-group` index (note that the current code does not support this).
- With :mdp-value:`awh-share-multisim=yes` and
- :ref:`gmx mdrun` option ``-multidir`` the bias will also be shared across simulations.
+ Share the bias and PMF estimates between simulations. This currently
+ only works between biases with the same index. Note that currently
+ sharing within a single simulation is not supported.
+ The bias will be shared across simulations that specify the same
+ value for :mdp:`awh1-share-group`. To enable this, use
+ :mdp-value:`awh-share-multisim=yes` and the :ref:`gmx mdrun` option
+ ``-multidir``.
Sharing may increase convergence initially, although the starting configurations
can be critical, especially when sharing between many biases.
- Currently, the share value should increase with increasing bias index
- (or be 0).
