Bypassing sluggishness: SWAP algorithm and glassiness in high dimensions

The recent implementation of a swap Monte Carlo algorithm (SWAP) for polydisperse glass forming mixtures bypasses computational sluggishness and closes the gap between experimental and simulation timescales in physical dimensions d = 2 and 3. Here, we consider suitably optimized systems in d = 2, 3, ... , 8 to obtain insights into the per...More
