Dear members, I am trying to run REMD simulation for poly Alanine (12 residue) system. I used remd generator to get the range of temperature with the exchange probability of 0.3. I was getting the 125 replicas. I tried to simulate 125 replicas its drastically slow down the simulation time (for 70 pico seconds it took around 17 hours ) could anyone please tell me how to solve this issue.
