Major updates in version 2.70 of GOMC include new Monte Carlo moves to enhance the sampling of phase space, such as Molecular Exchange Monte Carlo (MEMC), configurational-bias for molecules that contain rings, the crankshaft move, and a force/torque-biased multi-particle move. Support for force fields governed by exp-6 potentials, and free energy calculations using thermodynamic integration or free energy perturbation has been added. The GPU performance of the multi-particle move has been improved significantly from version 2.50, and memory usage has been reduced significantly.
