Figure 8From: A replica exchange Monte Carlo algorithm for protein folding in the HP modelEffect of number of replicas on run-time. Results for mean runtimes of 100 independent runs at varying number of replicas is shown for S1-7 in 2D (left) and S2-7 in 3D (right). A general relationship is unclear, however, the runtimes observed while increasing the number of replicas scale less than the expected linear increase in most cases.Back to article page
