Which plan more suitable for my work?

Posted on September 26, 2019

My work is a molecular dynamics simulation of a large protein when I was running it at 1nanosecond (ns) of simulation by using (16 CPU) of CPU-optimized it took about 15 hours and resulted in 44GB, but now I want to run it at (50ns) so which plan will give a good result in a shorter time?

In order to run namd in a distributed manner you will need to use mpi which is managed by charm++

You can’t simply run namd on separate droplets, as that would not orchestrate the data, but instead just run the same process individually with no clustering benefit.

Unfortunately I haven’t used namd so I can’t be of more help, however you can check out this resource to help get you started:
