your tau_t is 1 ps and you want to increase the temperature by 300 K in 10 ps.
I doubt that this is possible.
Try heating over a longer period of time. The longer the period, the closer you
will get to your target temperature.
Why do you need to do the heating over 10 ps? Also, when using any
deterministic integrator, I think that you are
asking for problems anyway based on a rapid scaling of forces into velocities.
Try doing this over 1 ns instead. The
alternative, reducing tau_t, is not a good idea.

-- original message --
In my test simulation annealing I'm trying to heat my system from 0 K
to 300 k after 10 ps of run. But at the end I see the temperature
didn't reach to 300 K , it's near around 22 K.
So can anyone please correct me in my .mdp file ?
