Tuning of the NAMD inner loop has provided a 30% performance boost Improved Serial Performance, Especially on POWER and PowerPC Latest development version of Charm++, rather than charm-5.9 Neither platform supports dynamic linking and ourĮxperience shows that binaries would be quickly out of date, so These two large, scalable, but immature platforms are now Ports to Cray XT3 and IBM BlueGene/L (source code only) NAMD has been ported to the new Intel-based Macintosh platform.īinaries are only 32-bit, but should run on newer 64-bit machines. Native binaries for 64-bit x86 processors such asĪMD Opteron and Intel EMT64 are 25% faster than 32-bit binaries. NAMD runs very fast on the Itanium processor under Linux, including Ports to Itanium, Altix, and Opteron/Athlon64/EMT64 Support for CHARMM 31 Stream Files and CMAP Crossterms.Reduced Memory Usage for Unusual Simulations.Customizable Replica Exchange Simulations.
