Hello!

We have put together a small six-node cluster out of standard desktop PCs.

Timing results are at http://michelin.chem.binghamton.edu/about.html
and our transporter (a system of 150,000 atoms) runs at a speed of
around 0.035 s/step - altogether extremely favorable.

This may be of general interest to people using NAMD, especially those
on a limited budget.

Regards,
Thomas
