[gmx-developers] Prospective research areas of GROMACS

[Szilárd Páll]

There are some (relatively) low-hanging fruit development possibilities
related to heterogeneous architectures and low-level communication
libraries that require extensive technical knowledge, but perhaps less
algorithmic and application-specific insight.

If you have experience with & interest in these topics, we could discuss
further details.

Cheers,
