Removal of Tabulated Potentials from GROMACS 2020

[aplatham]

GROMACS version: 2020
GROMACS modification: No

I noticed that for GROMACS 2020 tabulated potentials were removed as part of removing the group cutoff scheme (http://manual.gromacs.org/documentation/2020-beta1/release-notes/2020/major/removed-functionality.html).

I am part of a research group that uses tabulated potentials to run implicit solvent simulations. I was wondering if there was any progress on adding tables under the Verlet scheme, which has been previously discussed? This would be quite exciting.

Dear Gromacs developers,

Will the tabulated potentials be incorporated into the Gromacs version 2027?

Best regards,

Victor

There is a working prototype ready. The plan is to include that in the 2027 release.
