Effective implementation of a near-range non-bonded interactions calculation on the PowerXCell 8i processor

A typical calculation of the near-range non-bonded interactions takes more than 80% of the execution time in molecular dynamics. It is shown that the calculation of these interactions optimized for the IBM PowerXCell 8i processor allows to reach 43X speedup relative to the AMD Athlon X2 5000+
