Re: [ESPResSo-devel] adress sample and code base

As long as ADResS in ES doesn' have any advantage over highres simulations, why should we even try to maintain the code?

Hi!

Before we bury ADResS, I would actually like to hear Christoph's opinion. We cannot provide support for ADResS in Espresso, but on the other hand, it is not that difficult to maintain. Ok, there will be a switch to Python...

If Christoph is willing to care a bit for ADResS, it might be worthwhile to keep it. Otherwise, we indeed will have to remove the code.

At least at the moment, ADResS does not have much of a future in ESPResSo. The code is currently not well-suited for an ADResS implementation that actually has a performance gain. I don't think it makes sense to put any effort into the old implementation.

In fact, this thread probably tells me that it is best to remove ADResS from the code altogether, as otherwise people might be tempted to use it.

Thanks for proposing :-)

Given Olaf's last message I understand that this will not be necessary.

Best,
