A special purpose parallel computer for molecular dynamics: Motivation, design, implementation, and application
Abstract
We describe the special purpose parallel computer being built at the IBM Almaden Research Center for simulating classical many-body systems by molecular dynamics. The motivation, design, and implementation is emphasized. A new application to the dynamics of growth and form has been studied on a single node of our multinode computer, and the results are presented. © 1987 American Chemical Society.
