Abstract
This article presents a benchmark between Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) thermostat and Standard Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations for three different systems: a water cube, a small dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayer in water, and a large DPPC bilayer in water. The DPPC phospholipids’ molecule consists of a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails. The molecular dynamics simulations results for the three above systems as function of number of cores are shown. Keywords: molecular dynamics, thermostats, friction
