FFTW stands for "Fastest Fourier Transform in the West". It can be done
only in a system with periodic boundary conditions which you have only
with a water box. It's a method to efficiently calculate Particle Mesh
Ewald which is used to evaluate long range electrostatics. I recommend you
borrow the book "Understanding molecular simulation" by Frenkel & Smit, AP
Press. Everything is explained in there with all the details.
Have fun,
Gianluca
