Berendsen Thermostat<br />
In practice, we need to perform a temperature dependent velocity rescal<strong>in</strong>g:<br />

When the coupl<strong>in</strong>g parameter is equal to the time step, berendsen thermostat is<br />
equivalent to the velocity rescal<strong>in</strong>g method.<br />
For large uniform systems, scal<strong>in</strong>g ratio δt/τ = 0.0025 can produce a pseudo<br />
Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution.
