This thesis deals with different algorithms for molecular dynamics simulations. This
paper focuses on variants of the Verlet lists. The presented algorithms are implemented
in the C++ library AutoPas. For acceleration, the library uses shared-memory pa-
rallelization. We ran performance tests of the various implemented methods on the
CoolMUC-2 system of the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre. From which we learned
that performance, unfortunately, does not grow linearly with the number of threads
used. How well we can scale depends on the algorithm used.
