Abstract

One promising path of computational nanoscience is the integration of device design tools and computational chemistry tools to design molecular device components. In order to improve the efficiency of the design process and also let the device designer who is not necessarily a computational scientist use these device design tools easily, we have created a web based distributed computing system to connect client layer, web server layer and parallel computing server layer to link the jobs submission, computation, result retrieval and visualization together, and run the jobs automatically. This web based distributed computing enterprise, NanoGromacs, employs the open source molecular dynamics package Gromacs for simulation, and the open source visualization program PyMOL for visualization. NanoGromacs is freely accessible to general computational nanoscience community.
