CPMD code is a parallelized plane wave/pseudopotential implementation of Density Functional Theory, particularly designed for ab-initio molecular dynamics. CPMD is currently the most HPC efficient code that allows performing quantum molecular dynamics simulations by using the Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics scheme. CPMD simulations are usually restricted to systems of few hundred atoms. In order to extend its domain of applicability to (much) larger biologically relevant systems, a hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) interface, employing routines from the GROMOS96 molecular dynamics code, has been developed.
