Table 6. Cost Associated with Different PEFs (with Flexible Monomers) for a Molecular Dynamics Step in a System Containing 256 Water Molecules in Periodic Boundary Conditionsa.

PEF class cost per MD step relative to q-TIP4P/F
q-TIP4P/F37 pairwise additive PEF

All timings are relative to q-TIP4P/F,37 an empirical point-charge pairwise additive PEF, and were obtained using a modified version of DL_POLY2 using a single core of a typical Intel Xeon E5-2640 based workstation.
