We introduce an efficient nonreversible Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm to generate self-avoiding walks with a variable endpoint. In two dimensions, the new algorithm slightly outperforms the two-move nonreversible Berretti-Sokal algorithm introduced by H. Hu, X. Chen, and Y. Deng, while for three-dimensional walks, it is 3–5 times faster. The new algorithm introduces nonreversible Markov chains that obey global balance and allow for three types of elementary moves on the existing self-avoiding walk: shorten, extend or alter conformation without changing the length of the walk.
