Improving Molecular Dynamics Simulation Performance on Low-Cost Systems
COMPUTING IN SCIENCE & ENGINEERING, 15:64-70, MAY-JUN 2013
For simulation-based work, researchers often have limited hardware capacities and budgets, so they create a low-cost parallel computing platform using PCs and commodity hardware, assembled and configured as a Beowulf-class computing cluster. Here, an astute approach (for a molecular dynamics simulation example) greatly improves performance through hardware upgrades and other tricks.
