Query: Parallel computing and molecular dynamics of biological membranes   In this talk I discuss the general question of the portability of Molecular
Dynamics codes for diffusive systems on parallel computers of the APE family.
The intrinsic single precision arithmetics of the today available APE platforms
does not seem to affect the numerical accuracy of the simulations, while the
absence of integer addressing from CPU to individual nodes puts strong
constraints on the possible programming strategies. Liquids can be very
satisfactorily simulated using the "systolic" method. For more complex systems,
like the biological ones at which we are ultimately interested in, the "domain
decomposition" approach is best suited to beat the quadratic growth of the
inter-molecular computational time with the number of elementary components of
the system. The promising perspectives of using this strategy for extensive
simulations of lipid bilayers are briefly reviewed.
