Abstract
In the paper we compare timing results for short-range 12/6 Lennard-Jones molecular dynamics simulation for two kinds of data structures resulting from two different kinds of 3-D computational box. For parallel and distributed computing the domain decomposition method and message-passing paradigm were applied. The programs were run on parallel computers like HP/Convex SPP1200 and Intel Paragon XP/S as well as on a network of workstations.
