We study the improvement of simulations of QCD with dynamical Wilson fermions by combining the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm with parallel tempering. As an indicator for decorrelation we use the topological charge.
We present details of our investigation of the Parallel Tempering algorithm. We consider the application of action matching technology to the selection of parameters. We then present a simple model of the autocorrelations for a particular…

Parallel tempering simulates at many quark masses simultaneously, by changing the mass during the simulation while remaining in equilibrium. The algorithm is faster than pure HMC if more than one mass is needed, and works better the smaller…
