Re: [AMBER] REMD with pressure coupling

Hi Chris,

a few clarifications from the plumed side, which might be useful for other
people reading this list:

1. Plumed is compatible with amber16. We only have patches up to amber14
because starting with amber15 the support for plumed is included directly
in amber.
2. Plumed only works with sander, and not with pmemd.
3. Support for Hamiltonian replica exchange shipped with plumed is only for
gromacs. Actually, the changes required for this to work are in gromacs,
and not in plumed. So, even with sander+plumed, you cannot use Hamiltonian
replica exchange with sander+plumed. Even worst: sander+plumed does not
support any form of replica exchange.
4. Anyway, sander and pmemd alone (without plumed)* I think* support
Hamiltonian replica exchange (I know people using it).

Regards,

Giovanni
