Abstract
From length scale distributions characterizing frozen amorphous domains, we relate the s-ensemble method with standard cooling and aging protocols for forming glass. We show that in a general class of models, where space-time scaling is in harmony with that of experiment, the domain size distributions obtained with the s-ensemble are identical to those obtained through cooling or aging, but the computational effort for applying the s-ensemble is generally many orders of magnitude smaller than that of straightforward numerical simulation of cooling or aging.
