We report the implementation of the thermodynamic integration method on the pmemd module of the AMBER 16 package on GPUs (pmemdGTI). The pmemdGTI code typically delivers over 2 orders of magnitude of speed-up relative to a single CPU core for the calculation of ligand-protein binding affinities with no statistically significant numerical differences and thus provides a powerful new tool for drug discovery applications.
我们报告了在图形处理器(GPU)上的AMBER 16软件包的pmemd模块上实现热力学积分方法(pmemdGTI)。对于配体-蛋白质结合亲和力的计算,pmemdGTI代码相对于单个CPU核心通常能实现超过两个数量级的加速,且无统计学上显著的数值差异,因此为药物发现应用提供了一个强大的新工具。
