The Molecular Dynamics Replicated Data Model implements a parallel computer program that uses a 3D Lennard-Jones potential truncated at a distance of three molecular diameters. Each thread computes a portion of the force on each atom and these contributions are summed to compute the total acceleration using the Verlet ODE algorithm. Allocating memory for each thread's avoids the problem of parallel threads simultaneously writing to array elements.
The Molecular Dynamics Replicated Data Model was developed using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive.
Please note that this resource requires
at least version 1.7 of Java (JRE).
