We present a case-study on the utility of graphics cards to perform massively parallel simulation of advanced Monte Carlo methods. Graphics cards, containing multiple Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), are self-contained parallel computational devices that can be housed in conventional desktop and laptop computers and can be thought of as prototypes of the next generation of many-core processors...

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements have been conducted on liquid phosphorus trichloride, tribromide and triiodide. Molecular Dynamics simulations for these molecular liquids were performed with a dual purpose: (1) to establish whether existing intermolecular potential functions can provide a picture that is consistent with diffraction data; (2) to generate reliable starting configuratio...

We present a case-study on the utility of graphics cards to perform massively parallel simulation with advanced Monte Carlo methods. Graphics cards, containing multiple Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), are self-contained parallel computational devices that can be housed in conventional desktop and laptop computers. For certain classes of Monte Carlo algorithms they offer massively parallel sim...
