Distributed Replica (DR) sampling is a generalized ensemble simulation algorithm wherein sampling occurs amongst a collection of ensembles that are distributed along a predetermined reaction coordinate. During DR, sampling is generated by multiple replicas that each undergo a random walk along this reaction coordinate, weakly coupled by the Distributed Replica potential energy function (DRPE). For a more complete description of DR sampling, see T. Rodinger, P.L. Howell, and R. Pomès, "Distributed Replica Sampling" J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2:725 (2006).

The Distributed Replica Sampling Software Suite (DRSSS) is an implementation of DR sampling. Please read the documentation (in doc/ folder) for more information on its usage.
