This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. NAMD is a higly scalable molecular dynamics program. Preliminary scaling studies suggest a load balancing problem in the parallel scheme which prevents the code from speeding up past around 16 processors. Instrumentation of code using Crays profiling tools will be performed and bottlenecks relieved. Also a dynamic load balancing scheme will be put into place to improve the scaling.
