Simulating Synthetic Polymer Chains in Parallel
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 master version and a distributed version of the algorithm. Surprisingly, the master version is competitive for a relatively large number of processors. We also investigated methods to improve load balancing. The resulting simulation package will be made available in the near future.

Parallel 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...
متن کاملThe Hybrid Monte Carlo Method for Polymer Chains
The use of the Hybrid Monte Carlo method in simulating off-lattice polymer chains is discussed. I focus on the problem of finding efficient algorithms for long flexible chains. To speed up the simulation of such chains the Fourier acceleration technique is used. Numerical results are presented for four models with different repulsive interactions between the monomers.

Computer simulation of polymer chain is carried out by Monte Carlo method in this paper. The properties of polymer chain are simulated by self avoiding walk and bond fluctuation model. The parallel computing model is established to solve the physical problems of the polymer chains. We analyze the algorithms for polymer chains to parallel computing at high performance computing center. Gustafson...

متن کاملParallel excluded volume tempering for polymer melts.
We have developed a technique to accelerate the acquisition of effectively uncorrelated configurations for off-lattice models of dense polymer melts that makes use of both parallel tempering and large-scale Monte Carlo moves. The method is based upon simulating a set of systems in parallel, each of which has a slightly different repulsive core potential, such that a thermodynamic path from full...
