For those interested in classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation,
we've released a new version of LAMMPS, our open-source parallel MD
code, which is available for download on the WWW. It has several
features which may be of interest to you:
(1) It combines the force fields and features of several of our
previous parallel MD codes. Thus it can simulate atomic systems,
polymers, metals, proteins or other biomolecules, granular
materials, etc.
(2) It's written in C++, and is designed to allow for easy
modification and extension, yet preserves the speed and
scalability of the earlier F77 & F90 versions.
(3) It's portable to any parallel platform that uses MPI. It also
runs on single-processor boxes.
