Out-of-Core Solution of Eigenproblems for Macromolecular Simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the solution of large-scale eigenvalue problems that appear in the motion simulation of complex macromolecules on desktop platforms. To tackle the dimension of the matrices that are involved in these problems, we formulate out-of-core (OOC) variants of the two selected eigensolvers, that basically decouple the performance of the solver from the storage capacity. Furthermore, we contend with the high computational complexity of the solvers by off-loading the arithmeticallyintensive parts of the algorithms to a hardware graphics accelerator.

Exploring large macromolecular functional motions on clusters of multicore processors
Normal modes in internal coordinates (IC) furnish an excellent way to model functional collective motions of macromolecular machines, but exhibit a high computational cost when applied to large-sized macromolecules. In this paper, we significantly extend the applicability of this approach towards much larger systems by effectively solving the computational bottleneck of these methods, the diago...
متن کاملBlock Iterative Eigensolvers for Sequences of Correlated Eigenvalue Problems
In Density Functional Theory simulations based on the LAPW method, each self-consistent cycle comprises dozens of large dense generalized eigenproblems. In contrast to real-space methods, eigenpairs solving for problems at distinct cycles have either been believed to be independent or at most very loosely connected. In a recent study [7], it was proposed to revert this point of view and conside...
متن کاملCorrelations in sequences of generalized eigenproblems arising in Density Functional Theory
Density Functional Theory (DFT) is one of the most used ab initio theoretical frameworks in materials science. It derives the ground state properties of multi-atomic ensembles directly from the computation of their one-particle density n(r). In DFT-based simulations the solution is calculated through a chain of successive self-consistent cycles; in each cycle a series of coupled equations (Kohn...
متن کاملSolving Dense Generalized Eigenproblems on Multi-threaded Architectures
We compare two approaches to compute a fraction of the spectrum of dense symmetric definite generalized eigenproblems: one is based on the reduction to tridiagonal form, and the other on the Krylov-subspace iteration. Two large-scale applications, arising in molecular dynamics and material science, are employed to investigate the contributions of the application, architecture, and parallelism o...
متن کاملSteady-State and Dynamic Simulations of Gas Absorption Column Using MATLAB and SIMULINK
Separation is one of the most important process in all the chemical industries and the gas absorption is the simplest example of separation process which is generally used for the absorption of dilute components from a gaseous mixture. In the present work, a dynamic system of mathematical equation (algebraic and differential) is modeled to predict the behavior of the absorption column using mat...
