WHAM

I have written a fast, memory efficient implementation of the Weighted Histogram Analysis Method (WHAM). I’ve compiled and tested on a number of platforms and it’s vanilla ANSI C, so the odds are good it’ll work almost anywhere (or at least anywhere sufficiently unix-like). It is released under the GPL and BSD licenses, so you can take your pick of whichever you’re more comfortable with. However, if you’re using the code, I’d appreciate it if you’d let me know.

Documentation

The WHAM manual is available online here. For a discussion of the theory and practice of using WHAM to compute free energy curves, you can download the slides from a talk I gave. If you have questions, suggestions, patches, or complaints, I can be reached at alan_grossfield@urmc.rochester.edu.
