We have developed a parallel program for molecular dynamics (MD) simulation on clusters of personal computers (PCs). The program implements the Split Integration Symplectic Method (SISM) for MD integration that analytically treats high-frequency motions in molecules, allowing the simulation time step to be longer than in standard methods. The program is designed to run on parallel clusters of p...
