Lattice-switching Monte Carlo method for crystals of flexible molecules.
We discuss implementation of the lattice-switching Monte Carlo method (LSMC) as a binary sampling between two synchronized Markov chains exploring separated minima in the potential energy landscape. When expressed in this fashion, the generalization to more complex crystals is straightforward. We extend the LSMC method to a flexible model of linear alkanes, incorporating bond length and angle c...
متن کاملAn Approach in Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning: A Fast, GPU-Based Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: An accurate and fast radiation dose calculation is essential for successful radiation radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to implement a new graphic processing unit (GPU) based radiation therapy treatment planning for accurate and fast dose calculation in radiotherapy centers. Materials and Methods: A program was written for parallel runnin...
متن کاملMonte Carlo algorithms for charged lattice gases.
We consider Monte Carlo algorithms for the simulation of charged lattice gases with purely local dynamics. We study the mobility of particles as a function of temperature and show that the poor mobility of particles at low temperatures is due to "trails" or "strings" left behind after particle motion. We introduce modified updates which substantially improve the efficiency of the algorithm in t...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Methods for Lattice Fields
A discussion of the Monte Carlo methods for the Ising model highlights the benefits of the Swendsen-Wang algorithm. Next, an a priori model that has been developed for the analytical reconstruction of crystal structures from xray crystallography data is discussed, and the feasibility of developing an algorithm for this model similar to the Swendsen-Wang algorithm is considered. Thesis Superviso...
متن کاملFermionic Monte Carlo Algorithms for Lattice Qcd
The increase with time of computer resources devoted to simulations of full QCD is spectacular. Yet the reduction of systematic errors is comparatively slow. This is due to the algorithmic complexity of the problem. I review, in elementary terms, the origin of this complexity, and estimate it for 3 exact fermion algorithms. There is a qualitative difference between quenched QCD, which considers...
