Re: [AMBER] why total energy of the system is on the rise in NVE ensemble

There will almost always be *some* drift due to small roundoff errors. It
may also be useful to look at drift in terms of temperature. If necessary,
you can reduce the drift by changing some tolerances, such as tightening
dsum_tol and tol parameters by an order of magnitude (to 1e-6).
