Name:NAMD
Description:NAMD, recipient of a 2002
Gordon Bell Award, is a parallel
molecular dynamics code designed
for highperformance simulation
of large biomolecular systems. Based on Charm++ parallel objects, NAMD scales to hundreds
of processors on highend parallel platforms and tens of processors on commodity clusters
using gigabit ethernet.
NAMD uses the popular molecular
graphics program VMD
for simulation setup and
trajectory analysis, but is
also filecompatible with AMBER,
CHARMM, and XPLOR.
NAMD is distributed free of
charge with source code.
