VMD ..." />
The 1.9.2 release of VMD promises more insight and more beauty from use of
an already powerful molecular visualization and analysis program.
For more insight, VMD 1.9.2 exploits the power of parallel
computers small and large to reduce analysis runtimes tremendously,
as
reported here,
and
here.
VMD 1.9.2 strengthens collaboration between experimental and computational
biologists in resolving atom-by-atom structure and dynamics of huge
molecular assemblies arising in living cells by guiding interactively a
match of computational model to experimental data, as
reported here;
this is achieved through quality-of-fit cross correlation to be
computed rapidly using GPUs, the fastest means of modern calculation.
Many new and updated tools, called plugins, developed by the VMD user
community, are included in VMD 1.9.2, including
force field parameterization,
helix analysis,
and normal mode plugins.
VMD 1.9.2 incorporates a new
remote control
and works with Android phones and tablets.
For more beauty, VMD 1.9.2 adds stunning interactive graphics on
laptops. Such high quality graphics was previously available only on the
most advanced computers, through powerful GPU-accelerated interactive ray
tracing. Interactive ray tracing makes the task of getting a molecular
image "just right" much easier than ever before; it also enables
rendering of spectacular movies, turning scientists into great film
directors. More details about VMD 1.9.2 features can be found
here.
