TeraChem is the first computational chemistry software program written completely from scratch to benefit from the new streaming processors such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The computational algorithms have been completely redesigned to exploit massive parallelism of CUDA-enabled NVIDIA GPUs. The original development started at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Due to the great potential of the developed technology, this GPU-accelerated software was subsequently commercialized. Now it is distributed by PetaChem, LLC located in the Silicon Valley.〔http://www.petachem.com/〕 The software package is under active development and new features are released frequently. ==Core features== Very fast ''ab initio'' molecular dynamics and density functional theory (DFT) methods for ''nanoscale'' biomolecular systems with hundreds of atoms are arguably the most attractive features of TeraChem. Its affinity to extreme performance is also exemplified in the TeraChem motto ''"Chemistry at the Speed of Graphics"''.〔(TeraChem performance )〕 All the methods used are based on Gaussian orbitals, a choice made to improve performance on the limited computing capacities of modern computer hardware. More comprehensive list of features can be found on the company's website or in the (userguide ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TeraChem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
