Currently, only one version of the DL_POLY software is available under an STFC licence, DL_POLY_4, and with support provisioned to the UK's academia only. The former DL_POLY_2 version (authored by W.

It is supplied in source form under license and can be compiled as a serial application code, using only a Fortran90 compiler, or as a parallel application code, provided an MPI2 instrumentation is available on the parallel machine. DL_POLY_4 offers fully parallel I/O as well as a netCDF alternative (HDF5 library dependence) to the default ASCII trajectory file. | ||
