-NAMD is a parallel, object-oriented molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems.+NAMD is a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems. Based on Charm++ parallel objects, NAMD scales to hundreds of cores for typical simulations and beyond 500,000 cores for the largest simulations. NAMD uses the popular molecular graphics program VMD for simulation setup and trajectory analysis, but is also file-compatible with AMBER, CHARMM, and X-PLOR. NAMD is distributed free of charge with source code. You can build NAMD yourself or download binaries for a wide variety of platforms. Our tutorials show you how to use NAMD and VMD for biomolecular modeling. [[http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/|source]]

 NOTE: the benchmark calculates a once off FFT based on the number of cores used, so each test should be run twice to avoid this overhead. NOTE: the benchmark calculates a once off FFT based on the number of cores used, so each test should be run twice to avoid this overhead.
