Fast parallel cutoff pair interactions for molecular dynamics on heterogeneous systems

Fast parallel cutoff pair interactions for molecular dynamics on heterogeneous systems

| 8 October, 2012 | 0 Comments

Heterogeneous systems with both Central Processing Units (CPUs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are frequently used to accelerate short-ranged Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. The most time-consuming task in short-ranged MD simulations is the computation of particle-to-particle interactions. Beyond a certain distance, these interactions decrease to zero. To minimize the operations to investigate distance, previous works…

Accelerating VASP electronic structure calculations using graphic processing units

| 22 August, 2012 | 0 Comments

We have provided a hybrid massively parallelized molecular dynamic VASP ab initio software for GPUs clusters. To avoid continuously transferring data from CPUs to GPUs, we have ported some functions in CUDA and achieved a balanced combination between CUFFT, CUBLAS, and CUDA.

Proven Algorithmic Techniques for Many-core Processors Workshop

| 26 July, 2012 | 0 Comments

By studying many current GPU computing applications, we have learned that the limits of an application’s scalability are often related to some combination of memory bandwidth saturation, memory contention, imbalanced data distribution, or data structure/algorithm interactions.
