Abstract

To enable a simulation of the growth of crystalline fibers at a cluster of workstations, I developed a parallel molecular-dynamics (MD) algorithm. The structure of the MD algorithm is described briefly, together with its parallelization. Some specific features of our application will be discussed and an illustration of the program performance will be given.
