Performance

Wiki Markup
Using the 92 katom [ApoA1 benchmark|http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/performance.html] with NAMD 2.7, performance appears to compare very favorably with previously benchmarked clusters: its \[processor cores X time per step\] values (corresponding to the ordinate on the [figure|http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/apoa1_bench.png] on the linked page) vary from 1.8 sec (8 CPUs) to 2.1 sec (128 CPUs).
