Abstract: The shock compression of condensed matter can be effe ctively dealt with by molecular dynamics,and has been applied to many fields of science.However,there is large scale computation in molecular dynamics,so it is very important to develop the parallel and optimizing algorithm.An approach to the parallelization and optimization is proposed on the NOW (Network of Workstation),and has got the satisfactory result.

Key words: molecular dynamics, parallel computation, PVM
