[gmx-users] large scale simulation?

[Oliver Stueker]

Hi Albert,

With the Information you give here, it's hard to give you specific
advice on how to speed up your simulations.
I found the following papers quite interesting and maybe they give you
some idea in how to improve the performance.

1. Larsson P, Hess B, Lindahl E (2011)
  Algorithm improvements for molecular dynamics simulations.
  Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Computational Molecular Science 1: 93-108.

2. Larsson P, Lindahl E (2010)
  A high-performance parallel-generalized Born implementation enabled
by tabulated interaction rescaling.
  Journal of Computational Chemistry 31: 2593-600.

Protein Stability
