heating this fast can cause real problems, especially starting from
0K. keep in mind that you are increasing velocities by a huge factor
over this range. try assigning velocities at a higher T, or heat
more slowly. Langevin dynamics can also help. If you have even
the slightest hot spot at the low T (say at 1K part of the system
is at 2K), then when you rapidly scale to 360K the spot that was
only 1K hotter is now 720K! 20ps isn't slow enough to redistribute
that energy.
