​I'm assuming this means 3,200,000 atoms (3.2 M). Otherwise, Amber
programs are quite well-equipped to handle 320,000 atoms.

​See http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/2.9/ug/node13.html for
instructions *from* NAMD for this and
http://ambermd.org/namd/namd_amber.html for instructions *from* Amber for
this.

It's also possible that GPUs with a lot of memory can still handle 3.2 M
atoms, so if you have a 6 GB (or more) GPU, it may be worth just trying it
if you have access to pmemd.cuda.
