36. Benchmark calculations: (MDBNCH found at (http://www.sissa.it/furio/ mdbnch.html) give the following CPU times: DEC 2100/500 37.4s; IBM R/6000 320 H 165 s; a ratio of 4.41:1). The program tested used several potential and derivative calls with nested loops in a molecular dynamics code. The computational effort appears comparable to to that required for this problem.
