Benchmark ResultsΒΆ

The tables in this section provide CPU benchmarks for basic Tinker energy and derivative evaluations, vibrational analysis and molecular dynamics. All times are in seconds and were measured with Tinker executables dimensioned to maxatm of 10000 and maxhess of 1000000 in the source file sizes.i. All calculations were run twice in rapid succession on a quiet machine. The times reported for each benchmark are the results from the second run. If you have built Tinker on an alternative machine type and are able to run the benchmarks on the additional machine type, please send the results for inclusion in a future listing.
