[Openmm-news] OpenMM version 5.2

[Joy P. Ku]

We are pleased to announce OpenMM version 5.2.   With this version, the
performance of simulations continues to improve.  See benchmarks at
<http://wiki.simtk.org/openmm/BenchmarkOpenMMDHRF>
http://wiki.simtk.org/openmm/BenchmarkOpenMMDHRF.  In addition, we have a
number of new features, including:

 

* Drude oscillators - enables incorporation of polarizable force fields 

* The MonteCarloAnisotropicBarostat  - allows the scaling of only one axis
of the periodic box during a Monte Carlo move, so the box can change shape
and size over the simulation

* Enhanced CustomNonbondedForce  -  you can now limit interactions to only
specific groups of particles, specify a long range truncation correction,
and more

* Enhanced NonbondedForce - now supports a switching function with
Lennard-Jones interactions, which is useful when very precise energy
conservation is needed
* Support on Intel's integrated GPU core -  the OpenCL platform can now
run on the integrated GPU cores on recent Intel processors running Windows
