Effective Monte Carlo simulation on System-V massively parallel associative string processing architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the latest version of massively parallel processing associative string processing architecture (System-V) is applicable for fast Monte Carlo simulation if an effective on-processor random number generator is implemented. Our lagged Fibonacci generator can produce 10 random numbers on a processor string of 12K PE-s. The time dependent Monte Carlo algorithm of the one-dimensional non-equilibrium kinetic Ising model performs 80 faster than the corresponding serial algorithm on a 300 MHz UltraSparc.

Three-Dimensional Monte Carlo Device Simulation for Massively Parallel Architectures
The applicability of a massively parallel processing (MPP) paradigm to the simulation of charge transport in semiconductor devices through the Monte Carlo method is investigated. A unique mapping of Monte Carlo simulation to a data-parallel software model has been developed in which the problem is decoupled into multiple computational domains, thereby increasing the locality of computation. The...

We present a case-study on the utility of graphics cards to perform massively parallel simulation with advanced Monte Carlo methods. Graphics cards, containing multiple Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), are self-contained parallel computational devices that can be housed in conventional desktop and laptop computers. For certain classes of Monte Carlo algorithms they offer massively parallel sim...

Oneand two-stage free energy methods are common approaches for calculating the chemical potential from a molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo molecular simulation trajectory. Although these methods require significant amounts of CPU time spent on post-simulation analysis, this analysis step is wellsuited for parallel execution. In this work, we implement this analysis step on graphics processing u...

We discuss the advantages of parallelization by multithreading on graphics processing units (GPUs) for parallel tempering Monte Carlo computer simulations of an exemplified bead-spring model for homopolymers. Since the sampling of a large ensemble of conformations is a prerequisite for the precise estimation of statistical quantities such as typical indicators for conformational transitions lik...
