IMD was originally developed by Jörg Stadler in the framework of Project C14 "Molekulardynamik von Quasikristallen" of the Collaborative Research Centre 382 "Verfahren und Algorithmen zur Simulation physikalischer Prozesse auf Hochleistungsrechnern".

Jörg Stadler left the ITAP in summer 1997. Further contributors have been Erik Bitzek, Marco Brunelli, Dietmar Bunz, Martin Hohl, Christof Horn, Jutta Kaiser, Ralf Mikulla, Matthias Müller, Christoph Rudhart, Gunther Schaaf, Christian Ulrich, and Dieter Wolfangel.

The development of IMD is continued by a team including Peter Brommer, Franz Gähler, Christopher Kohler, Frank Pister, Johannes Roth, and Steffen Sonntag. Funding is now provided through the Collaborative Research Centre 716 ("Dynamic simulation of systems with large numbers of particles"), projects B1, B2, B5, and D2.

The program is also used at MPI für Metallforschung Stuttgart, MPA Stuttgart, and at the University of Karlsruhe and various institutes around the world.
