What is APT?

How many steps?

How many walkers?

  • At least double the dimensions.
  • I recommend a multiple of the threads you are using to minimise idle-core time.
  • I like to scale them as an exponential of ndim.
  • You can never go wrong with more
  • More walkers means more concurrent memory usage.

How many temperatures?

  • Really problem dependant.
  • At least 5, more than 20 seems overkill.
