GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics, i.e. simulate the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with hundreds to millions of particles. It is primarily designed for biochemical molecules like proteins and lipids that have a lot of complicated bonded interactions, but since GROMACS is extremely fast at calculating the nonbonded interactions (that usually dominate simulations) many groups are also using it for research on non-biological systems, e.g. polymers. GROMACS supports all the usual algorithms you expect from a modern molecular dynamics implementation, (check the online reference or manual for details), but there are also quite a few features that make it stand out from the competition: GROMACS provides extremely high performance compared to all other programs. A lot of algorithmic optimizations have been introduced in the code; we have for instance extracted the calculation of the virial from the innermost loops over pairwise interactions, and we use our own software routines to calculate the inverse square root. The innermost loops are generated automatically in either C or Fortran at compile time, with optimizations adopted to your architecture. Assembly loops using SSE and 3DNow! multimedia instructions are provided for i386 processors, separate versions using all x86-64 registers are used on Opteron x86-64 and Xeon EM64t machines. This results in exceptional performance on inexpensive PC workstations, and for Pentium IV/Opteron processors there are also SSE2 double precision assembly loops. There are new manually tuned assembly loops for ia64 (both single and double precision), and last but certainly not least we have written Altivec assembly loops both for Linux and Mac OS X. Gromacs is normally 3-10 timesfaster than any other program; check the article in Journal of Molecular Modeling (reference can be found under resources) for a comparison benchmark. GROMACS is user-friendly, with topologies and parameter files written in clear text format. There is a lot of consistency checking, and clear error messages are issued when something is wrong. Since the C preprocessor is used, you can have conditional parts in your topologies and include other files. You can even compress most files and GROMACS will automatically pipe them through gzip upon reading. There is no scripting language - all programs use a simple interface with command line options for input and output files. You can always get help on the options by using the -h option, or use the extensive manuals provided free of charge in electronic or paper format. There is also an integrated graphical user interface available for all programs. As the simulation is proceeding, GROMACS will continuously tell you how far it has come, and what time and date it expects to be finished. Both run input files and trajectories are independent of hardware endian and can thus be read by any version GROMACS, even if it was compiled using a different floating-point precision. All files from GROMACS 2.0 can further be used in the new version 3! GROMACS can write coordinates using lossy compression, which provides a very compact way of storing trajectory data. The accuracy can be selected by the user. GROMACS comes with a large selection of flexible tools for trajectory analysis - you won't have to write any code to perform routine analyses. The output is further provided in the form of finished Xmgr/Grace graphs, with axis labels, legends, etc. already in place! A basic trajectory viewer that only requires standard X libraries is included, and several external visualization tools can read the GROMACS file formats. GROMACS can be run in parallel, using standard MPI communication. GROMACS contains several state-of-the-art algorithms that make it possible to extend the time steps is simulations significantly, and thereby further enhance performance without sacrificing accuracy or detail. The package includes a fully automated topology builder for proteins, even multimeric structures. Building blocks are available for the 20 standard aminoacid residues as well as some modified ones, the 4 nucleotide and 4 deoxinucleotide resides, several sugars and lipids, and some special groups like hemes and several small molecules. There is ongoing development to extend GROMACS with interfaces both to Quantum Chemistry and Bioinformatics/databases. GROMACS is Free Software, available under the GNU General Public License. 国内有一个非常有名的GROMACS论坛，汇集了国内外相当多的学生使用者，积累了不少该方面的学习资料，甚至还有一些原创程序，不过资源虽然重要，但是论坛存在的重心还是为了方便交流，欢迎大家加入讨论。 论坛地址：http://www.mdbbs.org/forum-39-1.html QQ群：229189 [ Last edited by woshilsh on 2009-6-13 at 21:58 ] |

★★★ 三星级,支持鼓励
| 现在最新是是4.0版，由于改进了PME算法，所以计算效率提高了很多，安装步奏很简单，在gromacs的官方网址：http://www.gromacs.org/下载后，解压，在对应的目录中就有readme和install两个文件，是介绍安装步骤的，他跟Linux下安装其他软件差不多，另外还要安装FFTW，在官方网站的http://www.gromacs.org/content/view/30/58/里面有对应的版本。 |
