OpenEye (http://www.eyesopen.com) makes computational chemistry software that uses PVM. While not MPI, it's similar in that it uses a message-passing paradigm. I supported this software at a pharmaceutical company up until about a year ago. There was talk of porting their programs to MPI, since PVM is relatively obsolete these days. I just checked their website, and still see PVM being listed as the technology of choice for FRED, ROCS and OMEGA. MatLab has a parallel computing toolbox that uses MPI-2 interface: http://www.mathworks.com/products/parallel-computing/parallel/ Schrodinger (http://www.schrodinger.com) has a few computationa chemistry applications that use MPI. Desmond and Parallel Jaguar are two. These are all commercial applications that anyone (with enough $$$) can buy, and the use MPI right out of the box. The Schrodinger applications also support the major queuing systems (SGE, PBS/Torge and Platform LSF) right out of the box, too, and even provides very good documentation for setting up your parallel environment/queue to work with their software. -- Prentice _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
