We ran experiments at the following temperatures: 300, 400, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 725, 750, 775, 800, 850, 900 and 1000 degrees Kelvin.
For each experimental temperature, we ran the code forty times each with a different initial seed to our generator. We used the rngs library by Steven Park and David Geyer, which is a Lehmer generator as discussed in [6]. Each different function in the code that required a call to the generator accessed its own personal random number stream.
Our geometry was of the two-step variety discussed in Section
7, with a grid size of 
. and a 
coverage. We ran each run for ten million timesteps.
From each of these runs, we recorded both the final particle locations and the per-particle rates for each type of move.
