Thanks for the feedback.
So the Jarzynski relation is implemented in PMEMD but not improved to run at
high parallel performance...so I better just use SANDER.MPI.
Another thing is that Umbrella sampling method necessites the use of the
weighted histogram to get free energy...I downloaded the WHAM utility program
but I have not used it yet ...
For the Steered MD...just using the Jarzynski relation will yield the free
energy..
am I getting things right here ...

Fatima
