Abstract

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a message-passing algorithm which enables the Empirical Conformational Energy Program for Peptides (ECEPP/3) and related programs to run efficiently on the IBM RISC System/6000 POWERparallel System (SP2). Either the Message Passing Library (MPL) or the Message Passing Interface (MPI) can be used on the SP2; the MPI version also runs on the SGI Power Challenge computer. Some performance data are presented.
