In view of the long-range nature of Coulombic interactions (Section~\ref{sec:classical_electrostatics}), handling of electrostatics is particularly important in many systems.

Here we describe the motivation for the different treatments of these terms, and give an overview of the core idea of the basic algorithms typically employed.

Calculation of non-bonded interaction is generally the most time-consuming step of classical energy calculation. While the number of type of bonded interactions remain unchanged during the course of MD simulation, the ones for non-bonded interactions have to be updated frequently as molecules move into and out of the cutoff regions specified for extramolecular interactions. Furthermore, $r^{-1} $ dependence of coulombic interaction in a 3D space complicates the calculation in the following two ways :
