Multiscale Molecular Dynamics Simulations with the MiMiC Framework

Abstract

Multiscale simulations are essential techniques in computational chemistry, providing insights into complex phenomena across extended temporal and spatial scales. With a particular interest in the dynamics of such processes, we developed MiMiC, a framework for efficient multiscale molecular dynamics simulations suited for high-performance computing. One of its key characteristics is a flexible design where external specialized programs handle individual subsystems. This article reviews the core features and some recent advancements in MiMiC, particularly the integration of OpenMM and CP2K.
