NAMD 2.2b2 Release Announcement

Hi,
 NAMD is compatible with CHARMM and X-PLOR data files.  This is the first
 release with support for Windows NT (98 etc. may work but are untested) so
 feedback is appreciated.  Enjoy and thanks!

 The Theoretical Biophysics Group at the University of Illinois is
 proud to announce the public release of a new version of NAMD, a
 parallel, object-oriented molecular dynamics code designed for
 high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems.  NAMD is
 distributed free of charge and includes source code.  NAMD development
 is supported by the NIH National Center for Research Resources.
 NAMD 2.2b2 has several advantages over NAMD 2.1:
 - New ports to the IBM RS/6000 SP and Windows NT.
 - Parallelized particle mesh Ewald FFT and reciprocal space sum
   with demonstrated scaling to 128 processors for large systems.
 - Release binaries contain FFTW (under special license) for
   better serial performance when using particle mesh Ewald.
 - Much faster minimizer based on conjugate gradient method, also
   more stable when dealing with very bad initial contacts.
 - Improved load balancer with demonstrated scaling to over
   1024 processors for large cutoff systems.
 This is a beta release!  Please be on the lookout for bugs, memory
 leaks, and instabilities of all kinds and report them immediately.
 NAMD is available from http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/.
 The Theoretical Biophysics group encourages NAMD users to be closely
 involved in the development process through reporting bugs, contributing
 fixes, periodical surveys and via other means.  Questions or comments
 may be directed to namd ( ( at ) ) ks.uiuc.edu.
 We are eager to hear from you, and thank you for using our software!
