[gmx-users] PBC conditions for Vacuum simulation

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

No. Models without cutoffs will scale badly with particle count. Adding
cutoffs is not always a performance win either, because while that saves
computation of interactions, it adds the need to periodically search for
which particle interactions to compute.
