Aspen Systems provides Beowulf clusters for high performance computing in chemistry. Our custom systems support a broad spectrum of methods and computational techniques ranging from electron correlation methods for highly accurate computations, to methods for molecular dynamics simulations. The use of Beowulf clusters in chemistry is also helping to improve algorithms used in computational models. This allows the highly accurate calculation of chemical properties for large molecules.

This discipline includes the following areas of study:

• Molecular Simulation
• Biomolecular Visualization & Modeling
• Real-Time Crystallography
• Docking Molecules
• Molecular Dynamics
• Visualization of Molecular & Electronic Structure
• Protein Electrostatics
• Protein Structure Prediction
• Protein Structure Analysis

The field of high performance computing is developing at an accelerated pace. At the same time, molecular modeling methodologies (both quantum and classical) are also advancing rapidly. The advent of Beowulf clusters has played an important role in the transition of molecular modeling software to a massively parallel computing environment. Clustering offers many exciting opportunities such as the accurate treatment of larger more complex molecular systems in routine fashion, and a viable, cost effective route to study physical, biological, and chemical research. This has a broad effect on all areas of basic chemical science at academic research institutions and chemical, petroleum and pharmaceutical industries in the U. S., as well as chemical waste and environmental remediation processes.

Aspen Systems can successfully deliver a customized Beowulf cluster with the appropriate hardware and software, because we understand your requirements. We have the ability to work with you to integrate your required software packages that are used specifically for chemistry research. Some of these packages include AMBER (Assisted Model Building and Energy Refinement) and Gaussian^TM. Aspen Systems understands how these software packages behave in a cluster environment, as well as the computational requirements that support your application performance goals. Therefore, we can provide you with the most suitable hardware components that enable your software packages to perform at their optimal level.
