CHARMM c35b5 now available (Biowulf)

The c35b5 release of the CHARMM program for biomolecular simulation is now available on Biowulf. As noted previously, a couple of additions are support forthe CHARMM General Force Field (CGenFF), and a peptide sampling method known as MCMA. The 'c35b5' command provides a unified means of running calculations using the different hardware resources on Biowulf; the same command with different arguments is used for single or multiple processor calculations, with options for Infiniband, Infinipath, or within node parallel calculations. Typing c35b5 -help will produce a brief syntax listing. More detailed information can be found on the "CHARMM on Biowulf" page located in the Applications section of the Biowulf web pages. That documentation page has been revised, but the new c35b5 command functions mostly the same as the existing c35b2 command, with one notable exception; all of the parallel usage forms require the input file name as the 3rd argument.
