Abstract
In the paper we present efficient parallel algorithm for molecular dynamics simulation of 2-D Lennard-Jones systems with large number of particles (106+). Computational complexity is reduced by use of neighbour and link lists. The algorithm was implemented on networked workstations under PVM programming environment and optimized for the execution time and the memory requirements.
