<h1>NWChem Benchmarks</h1>
<h2>Molecular Dynamics Benchmarks</h2>
<h3>Liquid water</h3>
<p>
The following wall clock times and scaling characteristics have been
obtained for molecular dynamics simulations of liquid water of four
different system sizes, 5184, 17496, 41472 and 82000 atoms respectively.
The simulations used the SPC/E water model and a simple cutoff radius
of 1.8 nm, and were run on the IBM SP2.
Timings and scaling illustrate the need for sufficient computational
load to obtain scalability. From these benchmark results, good scaling
with the number of processors is obtained when each processor has at
least in the order of 100 atoms.</p>

<h3>Relative free energy of Na and K complex with 18-Crown-6</h3>
<p>
<IMG SRC="./nwargos/crown.gif" HEIGHT=400 alt="NWChem: Sodium and Potassium Complex"
</p>>
<p>
Free energy data and wall clock times to obtain them on the IBM SP2
and CRAY T3E-900
are given for the free energy difference calculation of Na and K in
aqueous solution and in the complex with the 18-crown-6 crownether
molecule in aqueous solution. The system has 6382 atoms.
The calculated free energy difference
of complexation is 6&plusmn;4 kJ/mol from the multiconfiguration
thermodynamic integration (MCTI) approach and 5&plusmn;5 kJ/mol. The
experimental result is 7 kJ/mol.

<h3>Haloalkanedehalogenase</h3>
<p>
Wall clock time and speedup as a function of the number of processors
used on the IBM SP are given for a simulation of haloalkane dehalogenase
in aqueous solution. The system has 41,259 atoms and was simulated using
the AMBER force field and SPC/E water model, a cutoff of 1.0 nm and
included long range electrostatic energy and force corrections using the
particle-mesh Ewald method on 64&sup3; grid. To run this job, download

<h3>1,2-Dichloroethane</h3>
<p>
Wall clock time and speedup as a function of the number of processors
used on the IBM SP and Cray T3E-900 are given for a simulation of a
droplet of 1,2-dichloroethane in aqueous solution.
The system has 100,369 atoms and was simulated using the force field
parameters for chlorinated alkanes as developed by Paulsen and the
SPC/E water model, and a simple cutoff of 2.4 nm.
1,2-Dichloroethane is one of the main pollutants on DOE and
other sites.

<p>
Wall clock and CPU speedup as a function of the number of processors
used on an IBM SP with 150 MHz nodes. The total disk space used is
also plotted. This is a semi-direct <A HREF="./ddscf/ddscf.html">
distributed data </A> calculation and so more disk
space is used as it becomes available.
