Note that there is still a cost for each region reporting its results back to the respective home regions involved in each computation, since the results are computed in a "neutral" region.

It turns out that D.E. Shaw developed a machine called Anton specifically designed for computing molecular dynamics simulations. It uses the NT Method (and ASICs!) and is described here

It's also discussed briefly in the lecture on heterogeneous and specialized processing.
