Dear CCL'ers,
I am wondering if it is easy to reuse the NAMD code to build C++
simulation program. My question might sound strange because NAMD is so
famous for its high extensibility and object-oriented design with
C++. But NAMD is actually coded in Charm++, an extended C++ for
parallelization, so that the problem is that a programmer has to deal
with Charm++ syntax in the NAMD code and its execution model for
parallel computation. So, could somebody give me a brief explanation
how the NAMD code can be incorporated into C++ framework, or if it is
possible.
I would appreciate any suggestion or references for a simulation
program which is built by adding C++ code to the NAMD code.
Thanks a lot in advance.
