One of the key limitations of this water model, however, is that it |
158 |
+ |
has been parameterized for use with the Ewald Sum technique for the |
159 |
+ |
handling of long-ranged interactions. When studying very large |
160 |
+ |
systems, the Ewald summation and even particle-mesh Ewald become |
161 |
+ |
computational burdens with their respective ideal $N^\frac{3}{2}$ and |
162 |
+ |
$N\log N$ calculation scaling orders for $N$ particles.\cite{Darden99} |
