Title:
EWALD SUMMATION METHOD FOR MOLECULAR SIMULATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006004877
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention includes a method and associated software and a system in which bodies are spatially partitioned among computational nodes and wherein each computational node maintains data for a different subset of the bodies. The method includes, importing body data from a set of one of more spatially neighbor nodes and, computing data characterizing interactions between bodies.
