SCALABLE MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SOFTWARE NAMD

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 NAMD(纳米级分子动力学，http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/))是为高性能模拟大型生物分子系统而设计的并行分子动力学程序[1，2]。NAMD采用Charge++/Converse并行运行时系统(http://charm.cs.uiuc.edu/)，)的优先消息驱动执行能力，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作为源代码和方便的预编译二进制文件免费分发给30,000多名注册用户。6000名用户已经下载了多个版本。NAMD 2.7b1于2009年3月发布，在发布后的六周内，已有超过1300名用户下载，其中200人是由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.
