Cell Charge Approximation for Accelerating Molecular Simulation on CUDA-Enabled GPU
نویسنده
چکیده
Methods for Molecular Dynamics(MD) simulations are investigated. MD simulation is the widely used computer simulation approach to study the properties of molecular system. Force calculation in MD is computationally intensive. Paral-lel programming techniques can be applied to improve those calculations. The major aim of this paper is to speed up the MD simulation calculations by/using General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit(GPU) computing paradigm, an efficient and economical way for parallel computing. For that we are proposing a method called cell charge approximation which treats the electrostatic interactions in MD simulations.This method reduces the complexity of force calculations.

Accelerating Molecular Dynamics Simulation Using Graphics Processing Unit
We have developed CUDA-enabled version of a general purpose molecular dynamics simulation code for GPU. Implementation details including parallelization scheme and performance optimization are described. Here we have focused on the non-bonded force calculation because it is most time consuming part in molecular dynamics simulation. Timing results using CUDA-enabled and CPU versions were obtaine...
متن کاملAccelerating high-order WENO schemes using two heterogeneous GPUs
A double-GPU code is developed to accelerate WENO schemes. The test problem is a compressible viscous flow. The convective terms are discretized using third- to ninth-order WENO schemes and the viscous terms are discretized by the standard fourth-order central scheme. The code written in CUDA programming language is developed by modifying a single-GPU code. The OpenMP library is used for parall...
