Massively-Parallel Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Clathrate Hydrates on Blue Gene Platforms

Massively-parallel classical equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed to investigate the computational performance of the Simple Point Charge (SPC) model and single-particle model of Molinero et al. applied to simulation of methane hydrates, using systems consisting of sev...
