[gmx-users] Gromacs on Gigabit Ethernet Dual Opteron Cluster

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi,

It depends on the type of interaction, but water-water calculations can 
sometime be as cheap as 50% of normal interactions.

(Because we have special optimized loops for them, and there is only 
one LJ interaction site per molecule).

Cheers,

Erik
