Abstract
The parallelization of molecular dynamics enables scientists to study macroscopic properties from large collections of microscopic particles.
Accomplishing this requires a very large number of molecules, but because the treatment is of discrete particles, there is inherent parallelism.
Particle interactions are shown to be problematic, and the authors develop a parallel algorithm for molecular dynamics that runs on a network of Transputers.
