[gmx-users] About MD/MC and source code...

[Cesar Araujo]

Hi, 

I was searching the list for MC and I found this message from last year. I would
like to know if there was some advance on this topic. I think that the
combination of MC/MD in Gromacs would be perfect to extend the application
range for Gromacs. 

In addition, is there some documentation for source code??? I would like to
start to play with the code but I would need some reference material for data
structures, main variables, functions, source code organization, etc. Any
suggestion on how to begin with it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
César.-

It is not very high priority for the developers, but it wouldn't be very
hard either. Erik L. has implemented a version of the inner loops that
does not compute forces, and hence would be even faster for MC. What is
needed is that someone writes an integration algorithm. If someone is
interested to do it please let us know...
