Which version of NAMD should I download?

The versions of NAMD below are distinguished first by OS, followed by the type of network interface, and whether or not CUDA is supported. If you are installing NAMD on a standalone workstation, we recommend downloading Linux-x86_64-multicore for Linux. If your workstation has a CUDA-capable GPU, you should try downloading Linux-x86_64-multicore-CUDA. If you wish to run multi-copy algorithms, such as replica-exchange MD, you should try the "netlrts" builds, such as Linux-x86_64-netlrts-smp or Linux-x86_64-netlrts-smp-CUDA. Windows users are encouraged to install WSL (Windows for Linux Subsystem) in order to run our most recent Linux builds.
