## Abstract Parallelization is an effective way to reduce the computational time needed for molecular dynamics simulations. We describe a new parallelization method, the distributedโdiagonal force decomposition method, with which we extend and improve the existing force decomposition methods. Our n
The study of many-particle systems has increased signiยฎcantly over the past decade, because of the increasing number of useful applications it supports. Numerical experiences have shown that the force calculation contributes 90% of the total simulation time. This is an O(N 2 ) algorithm, mainly due
## Abstract We describe two algorithms for the parallel calculation of a CHARMmโlike force field in macromolecules. For a molecule with a given number of atoms, we show that there is an optimal number of processors leading to a minimum computation time. At the optimum, both the number of processors
