2004 - 2005
DMOD (Distributed Molecular Dynamics) - implementation of advanced distributed molecular dynamics calculations with dynamic load-balancing. During this work new algorithms of rigid body molecular dynamics was formulated and implemented. Developed software has features:
  • Rigid body molecular dynamics
  • Nose-Hoover chains thermostat
  • Local geometry optimization
  • Global geometry optimization by using REMD (replica exchange molecular dynamics)
  • Steered molecular dynamics
  • Interface to external forces
