Hi,
I think that for normal mode PIMD each node has to know all coordinates
because the propagation is done in a normal mode representation of the
quantum ring polymer while the forces are computed in the cartesian
representation. So, one has to go back and forth from normal mode to
cartesian coordinates.
It is possible that this is not ncessary for the velocities (which are
always the normal mode velocities), but I'm not sure about it.
I'm now travelling and I will check this as soon as I come back to Salt
Lake.
