Abstract

We report about molecular dynamics simulations on a virtually shared-memory parallel computer (KSR1-32). Applications comprise massive runs of several nanoseconds simulation-time with models using nearest-neighbour pair-interactions in the study of the dynamics close to the glass transition, and modelling of the atomistic structure of amorphous and liquid metals, using more involved interaction-potentials. Satisfactory parallelization, optimized to small sample sizes, may be achieved in both types of simulations.
