Description: | GROMACS molecular dynamics sim, development kit GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics, i.e. simulate the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with hundreds to millions of particles. . It is primarily designed for biochemical molecules like proteins and lipids that have a lot of complicated bonded interactions, but since GROMACS is extremely fast at calculating the nonbonded interactions (that usually dominate simulations) many groups are also using it for research on non- biological systems, e.g. polymers. . This package contains header files and static libraries for development purposes, plus sample Makefiles. Development components for MPI-enabled builds are contained within the gromacs-mpich and gromacs-lam packages. Homepage: http://www.gromacs.org/ |
