Abstract
A method and apparatus for analyzing molecular systems with reconfigurable special-purpose hardware is provided. An entire molecular mechanics calculation is implemented on a programmable logic device (PLD) integrated circuit (IC) ('single chip'). This single IC accelerator is achieved by run-time reprogramming of the PLD to handle different terms in the molecular mechanics calculation.
