Hi Francesco,
I prepared the PIMD/QMMM test cases for amber9. I think we can validate
the new code by comparing
its result to amber9 code. I think we can run the following tests to
validate it:
First of all, the energy after the first step should be the same for two
codes.
Secondly, if ntt is set to 0, then the energy of the other steps should
be same.
Finally, for ntt equals 3, the energy won't match because the random
number sequence is different,
but if we can change one code to re-ordering the random number, we
should be able to get the same
energy for two codes.
Sincerely,
Wei
