Molecular dynamics simulation of 216 SPC/E water molecules
Timings are given for a molecular dynamics simulation of 216 SPC/E water molecules
subject to periodic boundary conditions, in the NVT ensemble. These timings were
obtained from simulations of 1000 steps, and reflect the wall-clock time of a
single molecular dynamics step. The setup time and time for periodic recording of
coordinates and velocities is not included.
