Recent work in the active area of grand canonical molecular dynamics methods is first briefly reviewed followed by an overview of the dual control volume grand canonical molecular dynamics (DCV-GCMD) method, designed to enable the dynamic simulation of a system with a steady-state chemical potential gradient. A short review of the methods and systems used to prototype the DCV-GCMD method and its parallel implementation follows. Finally a new, novel implementation of the DCV-GCMD method that enables the establishment of a steady-state chemical potential gradient in a multicomponent system without having to insert or delete one of the components is presented and discussed. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
