EXAMPLE PROJECTS:
-
Long range electrostatic interactions play a critical role in thestructure, function and activity of biological molecules.
However the modeling of
electrostatic interactions is computationally intensive,
making it impractical to
simulate realistic systems for useful time-scales, even with today's fastest
supercomputers. We have developed a novel method,
hierarchical charge partitioning (HCP),for speeding up such computations. HCP has been implemented in the open source
molecular dynamics software NAB in Amber tools to deliver
up to 3 orders of magnitude speedup. HCP has also been ported to the GPU platfor
m (ATI and nvidia) for an additional
1-2 orders of magnitude speedup.
