Foil 79 Key Idea in The Tempering Approach

From Complex Systems and Parallel Computing CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Add b to list of dynamical variables
2 b chosen out of {bm} with probability given by
  • Prob ( b, {s} ) a exp { - bm E ({s}) + gm}
3 b1 Increasing
4 b2
5 b3
6 b4
7 b5
8 Now system can move up in temperature and jump barrier
9 Don't have to decide on a priori annealing schedule i.e. list of bm and computer time to be spent at each bm.
