Editing GROMACS (section)

==History==
The GROMACS project originally began in 1991 at Department of Biophysical Chemistry, [[University of Groningen]], [[Netherlands]] (1991–2000). Its name originally derived from this time ('''GROningen MAchine for Chemical Simulations''') although currently GROMACS is not an abbreviation for anything, as little active development has taken place in Groningen in recent decades. The original goal was to construct a dedicated parallel computer system for molecular simulations, based on a ring architecture (since superseded by modern hardware designs). The molecular dynamics specific routines were rewritten in the programming language [[C (programming language)|C]] from the [[Fortran 77]]-based program [[GROMOS]], which had been developed in the same group.{{citation needed|date=June 2012}}

Since 2001, GROMACS is developed by the GROMACS development teams at the [[Royal Institute of Technology]] and [[Uppsala University]], [[Sweden]].
