Journal ArticleDOI
Scalable molecular dynamics with NAMD
James C. Phillips,Rosemary Braun,Wei Wang,James C. Gumbart,Emad Tajkhorshid,Elizabeth Villa,Christophe Chipot,Robert D. Skeel,Laxmikant V. Kale,Klaus Schulten +9 more
TL;DR: NAMD as discussed by the authors is a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems that scales to hundreds of processors on high-end parallel platforms, as well as tens of processors in low-cost commodity clusters, and also runs on individual desktop and laptop computers.
Journal ArticleDOI
NAMD2: Greater Scalability for Parallel Molecular Dynamics
Laxmikant V. Kale,Robert D. Skeel,Milind Bhandarkar,Robert Brunner,Attila Gursoy,Neal Krawetz,James C. Phillips,Aritomo Shinozaki,Krishnan Varadarajan,Klaus Schulten +9 more
TL;DR: The NAMD2 program is presented, which uses spatial decomposition combined with force decomposition to enhance scalability and modularly organized, and implemented using Charm++, a parallel C++ dialect, so as to enhance its modifiability.
GPU Computing
TL;DR: The background, hardware, and programming model for GPU computing is described, the state of the art in tools and techniques are summarized, and four GPU computing successes in game physics and computational biophysics that deliver order-of-magnitude performance gains over optimized CPU applications are presented.
