Desmond (software)
Software for computational chemistry
Desmond is a software package developed at D. E. Shaw Research to perform high-speed molecular dynamics simulations of biological systems on conventional computer clusters.[1][2][3][4] The code uses novel parallel algorithms[5] and numerical methods[6] to achieve high performance on platforms containing multiple processors,[7] but may also be executed on a single computer.
