Abstrakt: Calculation of non-bonded interactions takes up to 80% of the total execution time of a molecular dynamics program. It can be accelerated by porting the algorithm to the Cell architecture. A simple method of such porting has been applied to the MOLKERN program, which simulates the structure and dynamics of biomolecular models. A 32-fold speedup was achieved for calculation of short-range non-bonded interactions, and threefold, for long-range Coulomb interactions. The overall program speedup proved to be more than 4.
