Amber 7 Benchmarks

Notes:

     
     =============================================================================
     "jac" == Joint Amber/Charrm DHFR benchmark.  This is the protein DHFR,
     solvated with TIP3 water, in a periodic box.  There are 23,558 total atoms,
     and PME used with a direct space cutoff of 9 Ang.  This is the benchmark
     in benchmarks/jac subdirectory of the Amber 7 distribution.

     "gb_mb" == Generalized Born myoglobin simulation.  This protein has 2492
     atoms, and is run with a 20 Ang. cutoff and a salt concentration of 0.2 M,
     with nrespa=4 (long range forces computed every 4 steps.)  This is the
     test case in the benchmarks/gb_mb subdirectory of the Amber 7 distribution.
