Detailed Description

DualAMDIntegrator implements a dual boost aMD integration algorithm.

This is similar to AMDIntegrator, but two different boosts are applied to the potential: one based on the total energy, and one based on the energy of a single force group (typically representing torsions).

For details, see Hamelberg et al., J. Chem. Phys. 127, 155102 (2007).
