The nonlocal modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation (NMPBE) is one important variant of a commonly-used dielectric continuum model, Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE). In this paper, we use a nonlinear block relaxation method to develop a new nonlinear solver for the nonlinear equation of $\Phi $ and thus a new NMPBE solver, which is then programmed as a software package in $\texttt{C}\backslash\texttt{C++}$, $\texttt{Fortran}$ and $\texttt{Python}$ for computing the electrostatics of a protein in a symmetric 1:1 ionic solvent. Numerical tests validate the new package and show that the new solver can improve the efficiency by at least $ 40\%$ than the finite element NMPBE solver without compromising solution accuracy.

Keywords: Nonlocal model, implicit continuum model, finite element method, block iteration method, biomolecular electrostatics.
