NAMD should be portable to any parallel platform with a
modern C++ compiler to which Charm and Converse have been ported.
Precompiled NAMD 3.0.3 binaries are available for
download for the following platforms:
- Linux on x86_64 processors
- Linux with NVIDIA GPUs (CUDA)
- Mac OS X on Intel and ARM processors
- Windows 10 and 11 supported by running Linux x86_64 builds
(both CPU-only and CUDA) using WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
Regarding Windows support, we note that community benchmarks have shown
faster NAMD performance when using WSL2 versus a native build.
NAMD may be compiled for the following additional platforms:
- Linux or AIX on POWER processors
- Linux on ARM processors
- Linux on ARM or POWER processors with NVIDIA GPUs (CUDA)
- Linux on x86_64 processors with AMD GPUs (HIP/ROCm)
- Linux on x86_64 processors with Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors (MIC)
