Parallel MD-Simulations of Synthetic Polymers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A parallel algorithm is presented that allows efficient Langevin–dynamics simulations of single macromolecular coils which are the typical structure of synthetic polymers in solution and in bulk. Contrary to the usual spatial decomposition algorithms, we map the one–dimensional topology of the chain molecule on the parallel computer. Only short–range interactions between atoms are considered. The necessary neighbour search is done by a master–slave method.

Simulating Synthetic Polymer Chains in Parallel
We have investigated algorithms that are particularly suited for the parallel MD simulations of synthetic polymers. These algorithms distribute the atoms of the polymer among the processors. Dynamic non{ bonded interactions, which are the diicult part of an MD simulation, are realised with the help of a special coarse{grained representation of the chain structure. We have devised and compared a...
متن کاملParallel MD–Simulation of Synthetic Polymer Chains
We have developed and implemented parallel algorithms for the molecular dynamics simulation of synthetic polymer chains. Our package has been specifically designed for distributed–memory machines like the widespread Cray T3E, but it can also be used on clusters of workstations and on a single workstation (i.e., it runs also sequentially). The target molecules are single synthetic polymer chains...

A parallel algorithm is developed that allows eecient Langevin{dynamics simulations of macromolecular coils, which is the usual structure of synthetic polymers in solution and in bulk. Contrary to usual so{called spatial decomposition algorithms, we map the one{dimensional topology of the chain molecule on the parallel computer. The speedup of the algorithm is measured on diierent multi{process...
متن کاملInfluences of Small-Scale Effect and Boundary Conditions on the Free Vibration of Nano-Plates: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation
This paper addresses the influence of boundary conditions and small-scale effect on the free vibration of nano-plates using molecular dynamics (MD) and nonlocal elasticity theory. Based on the MD simulations, Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) is used to obtain fundamental frequencies of single layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) which modeled in this paper as the mo...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics modeling the synthetic and biological polymers interactions pre-studied via docking
In previous works we reported the design, synthesis and in vitro evaluations of synthetic anionic polymers modified by alicyclic pendant groups (hydrophobic anchors), as a novel class of inhibitors of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) entry into human cells. Recently, these synthetic polymers interactions with key mediator of HIV-1 entry-fusion, the tri-helix core of the first hep...
