Run it individually on each of the *task*.out.xml files *after* running spinmc Best regards Matthias

Should I tinker with > parameters or is it OK? converge=no means that you have to run for a larger number of sweeps. This is natural close to the phase transition or at very low temperatures since there the autocorrelation times increase. The best procedure is to start from very small systems, and only increase the system size once you see that you get good convergence of the errors. As long as they are not converged, it is hard to trust the results since the error bar is most likely much larger than estimated. Best regards Matthias Troyer

The best place to add code for dumping the configurations or adding extra measurements is the file mc/spins/ spinsim.h in the function SpinSim<M>::do_measurements() . The spins are stored in the vector spins_, and you might need to add an output operator to the ONMoment class in file on.h to write the spins to a text file in your preferred format. Don't hesitate ask again if you have further questions. Best regards Matthias Troyer

ALPS 1.2.2
by Matthias Troyer 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

Dear colleagues, ALPS version 1.2.2 has been released, containing two bug fixes: - a fix for the classical Monte Carlo codes when spin sizes S are given - a fix to the sign problem checker to correctly support site disorder Please download and install the new version if you want to perform classical Monte Carlo simulations and specify spin sizes, or if you want to use non-uniform magnetic fields or chemical potentials in QMC codes, such as for trapped bosons. Best regards Matthias Troyer
