At Rescale (www.rescale.com) we have cloud-based options for 10Gb/s I/O to run mpi versions of Gromacs. The performance for these has been very good and can scale to hundreds of simulation dynos (computing nodes). Regardless of which service you use, I would highly recommend trying some of the cl

Hi, When it comes to hardware, pretty much the only thing that matters is processors (CPUs and maybe GPUs) , memory will always be more than enough -- unless you plan to run massive analysis in the cloud. In general, if your simulation system runs fast enough on a single compute node (1-2 CPUs), t
