}We develop an appropriate iteration procedure for the determination of the parameters for the method of simulated tempering and test it successfully on the two-dimensional Ising spin glass. The reduction of the slowing down is comparable to that of the multicanonical algorithm. Simulated tempering has, however, the advantages of allowing full vectorization of the programs and of providing the canonical ensemble directly.

Two novel algorithms for simulated tempering simulations are presented, which break the detailed balance condition (DBC) but satisfy the skewed detailed balance to ensure invariance of the target distribution and are based on Gibbs sampling and concern breaking DBC at the update scheme of the temperature swaps.
