LIGGGHTS (R) and its ancestor LAMMPS:

LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics simulation code designed to run efficiently on parallel computers. It was developed at Sandia National Laboratories, a US Department of Energy facility, with funding from the DOE. It is an open-source code, distributed freely under the terms of the GNU Public License (GPL). The primary developers of LAMMPS are Steve Plimpton, Aidan Thompson, and Paul Crozier. The LAMMPS WWW Site at http://lammps.sandia.gov has more information about LAMMPS.
