Abstract
With the increasing use of such methods as dynamic simulations, free energy perturbation and large molecule ab-initio calculations, as well as the use of very elaborate graphical display programs, chemical researchers find increasing frustration in the use of conventional computers to solve their problems. These machines are either too slow or too expensive to be practical for everyday use. However, the advent of parallel computer architectures and parallel algorithms offers a solution to this problem.
