Abstract
We present results from our study of the Parallel Tempering algorithm. We e xamine the swapping acceptance rate of a twin subensemble PT system. We use action matching technology in an attempt to maximise the swap acceptance r ate. We model the autocorrelation times within Parallel Tempering ensembles in terms of autocorrelation times from Hybrid Monte Carlo. We present esti mates for the autocorrelation times of the plaquette operator.
