Hi,

The core developers have the answer for this one, but I can make an educated guess:

Implementing it would mean a LOT of work and the rewards are small. The latter because most particles will have rougly the same oscillation period if one uses all-atom forcefields and turn on virtual sites and constrains the bonds, hence the point of having multiple time steps is lost.

Chris,

An interesting question...

BTW, is there any philosophy of gromacs developers to avoid this
algorithm in the MD engine?

Vitaly



multiple timesteps are not possible as far as gromacs 4.0.7. NAMD can do this.

Is it possible to carry out  multiple time step  molecular
dynamics simulations
in Gromacs
4.0. versions ? Could you
please give me some information about this issue ?

Thank you very much for your attention.
