Hello NAMD community,

I gather from a previous conversation that the NAMD code uses double
precision. However, can the code be compiled as a single precision version?
And if so, has anybody compared results and found serious deviations between
the single and double precision results for any system?

Some information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Neelanjana
