#about 250 milion times in a row

the cool thing/problem with increasing high speed computing capacities is that when I did this presentation in 2017:

I said “and then the computer does this cycle 50 milion times“, which normally corresponds to 100ns of a simulation (because the timestep of one cycle is 0.002ps/2fs).

But these days, 100ns is basically considered the initial equilibration, which is then often discarded, and only the end of the simulation is evaluated.

… which means I need to come up with a different, bigger, number than 50 million for when i’m doing presentation for experimentalist audience.
