SCALABLE MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SOFTWARE NAMD

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 NAMD（Nanoscale Molecular Dynamics，http：//www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/）是一种并行分子动力学代码，设计用于大型生物分子系统的高性能模拟[1，2]。 NAMD采用Charm++/匡威并行运行时系统（http：//charm.cs.uiuc.edu/）的优先级消息驱动执行功能，允许在大规模并行超级计算机和商用工作站集群上进行出色的并行扩展。NAMD以源代码和方便的预编译二进制文件的形式免费分发给30，000多名注册用户。 6000名用户下载了多个版本。NAMD 2.7b1于2009年3月发布，自发布以来的六周内，已有超过1，300名用户下载，其中200人是NIH资助的。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. NAMD (Nanoscale Molecular Dynamics, http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/) is a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high performance simulation of large biomolecular systems [1, 2]. NAMD employs the prioritized message-driven execution capabilities of the Charm++/Converse parallel runtime system (http://charm.cs.uiuc.edu/), allowing excellent parallel scaling on both massively parallel supercomputers and commodity workstation clusters. NAMD is distributed free of charge to over 30,000 registered users as both source code and convenient precompiled binaries. 6000 users have downloaded multiple releases. NAMD 2.7b1 was released in March 2009 and in six weeks since its release has been downloaded by over 1,300 users, 200 of whom are NIH-funded.
