Developed by D.E. Shaw Research, Desmond performs high-speed molecular dynamics simulations of biological systems using parallel algorithms and numerical techniques. The README.txt explains the horror that will prevail...
NAMD is a parallel molecular dynamics code for large biomolecular systems. Version 2.7b1 has some advantages over 2.6 and an extensive user's guide. CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing architecture developed by NVIDIA providing a computing engine in NVIDIA graphics processing units or GPUs. It should make NAMD awesome, if it works.
