Abstract
Molecular dynamics (MD) studies the structure of
molecular systems which are subject to certain constraints and
forces. The simulation of particles is a tool for examining atomic
systems during a period of nanoseconds in which the trajectory of
atoms and the state of the system is analyzed. GROMACS is a
package which supports molecular dynamics simulations and energy
minimization, being started the University of Groningen. Usually
molecular dynamics simulations are time consuming, sometimes
taking weeks and even months. In order to obtain the output of the
simulation in less time, parallelization is used through the use of
MPI (Message Passing Interface). The article presents the MPI
parallelization of a novel thermostat algorithm for molecular
dynamics and experimental results.
