Hi,

I like the idea of having multiple time step in gromacs, but many analysis tools would need a lot of rewriting, which would require more work than changing mdrun. Or am I wrong?

Hi,

Our philosophy up till now has been to remove the fastest motions
(using constraints and virtual sites) allowing for a larger time step,
instead of using a multiple time step algorithm.

Having a multiple time step algorithm would be nice, but this
would cause a lot more communication in the parallelization.
It would also make the code more complicated than it already is.

Berk.
