Re: A larger protein data bank for performance benchmark

Rebecca,

I appreciate your response.
Actually I am into High Performance Computing Team where I need to
benchmark different kinds of processor family using NAMD.
I just installed it and able to see that running ./namd src/alanin took
0.0085 sec. It finishes up in no seconds.

As I am quite new, I need to know if I actually need to build it to supply
like alanin running directly like:

./namd2 src/x.pdb

just works or I need to build pdb format? Please suggest.

It would be great if you can send me one or two PDBs which are large in
size and should take sometime for namd to finish.
Also, it should run directly like ./namd2 src/?.pdb.
