All releases of the Tinker-HP code are now being performed on Github. For news, benchmarks and additional tutorials, please visit the Tinker-HP website and follow us on Twitter
In addition to GitHub, a GPUs container (quick install!) is available thanks to NVIDIA on the NVIDIA NGC's website.
Tinker-HP is a CPUs and GPUs based, multi-precision, MPI massively parallel package dedicated to long polarizable molecular dynamics simulations and to polarizable QM/MM. Tinker-HP is an evolution of the popular Tinker package that conserves it simplicity of use but brings new capabilities allowing performing very long molecular dynamics simulations on modern supercomputers that use thousands of cores. The Tinker-HP approach offers various strategies using domain decomposition techniques for periodic boundary conditions in the framework of the (n)log(n) Smooth Particle Mesh Ewald. Tinker-HP proposes a high performance scalable computing environment for polarizable (AMOEBA, Amberpol...) and classical (Amber, Charmm, OPLS...) force fields giving access to large systems up to millions of atoms. It can be used on supercomputers as well as on lab clusters. Tinker-HP supports Intel (AVX-512 enhanced version) and AMD CPUs platforms as well as NVIDIA GPUs (GTX-10xx, RTX-20xx, 30xx, 40xx, P100, V100, A100).
Tinker-HP is available free of charge for ALL Academic Institutions, National Laboratories and supercomputer centers through the global Tinker license.
Non-academic entities (e.g., companies, for profit organizations) should contact the managing universities (see license).
