We have performed a detailed analysis of the local dynamics and local energies of the equilibrium, paramagnetic phase of the d = 2 and d = 3 ±J Ising spin glass model. Here we discuss our recently reported observations1) that while the average flip rate and average energy decrease monotonically with decreasing temperature, both the flip rate and energy of an increasing fraction of spins increase as the glass transition is approached on cooling. These findings are consistent with recent experimental results for the frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility of an insulating spin glass, which showed that the approach to the glass transition could be detected from the high frequency behavior.
