Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates
39
potentials
experimentalv0.1.0
A lightweight Rust library for classical molecular dynamics potentials, providing modular force field components (LJ, bonds, angles, torsions) for major systems like DREIDING, AMBER, and GROMOS, with high-performance, branchless kernels in no-std scientific computing.
46
ffcharge
experimentalv0.2.1
A lightweight pure Rust library for fast, residue-based force field charge assignment (AMBER/CHARMM) in molecular modeling pipelines.
50
dreid-kernel
experimentalv0.4.2
A high-performance, no-std Rust library providing pure mathematical primitives and stateless energy kernels for the DREIDING force field.
