K-space Parallelization of Wien97

چکیده

WIEN97 is a program package to calculate the electronic structure of solids. The calculations are based on Density Functional Theory. A coarse grain parallelization of the code based on distributing k-points onto diierent processors is not only relatively simple to implement but also very eecient, especially in metals, where a large number of k-points must be calculated. After the development of a running parallel version, care was taken to implement features to ensure workload-balancing for a cluster of heterogeneous workstations.

MPI- and CUDA- implementations of modal finite difference method for P-SV wave propagation modeling

Among different discretization approaches, Finite Difference Method (FDM) is widely used for acoustic and elastic full-wave form modeling. An inevitable deficit of the technique, however, is its sever requirement to computational resources. A promising solution is parallelization, where the problem is broken into several segments, and the calculations are distributed over different processors. ...

Mixed Large-Eddy Simulation Model for Turbulent Flows across Tube Bundles Using Parallel Coupled Multiblock NS Solver

In this study, turbulent flow around a tube bundle in non-orthogonal grid is simulated using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique and parallelization of fully coupled Navier – Stokes (NS) equations. To model the small eddies, the Smagorinsky and a mixed model was used. This model represents the effect of dissipation and the grid-scale and subgrid-scale interactions. The fully coupled NS eq...

Parallelization of Rich Models for Steganalysis of Digital Images using a CUDA-based Approach

There are several different methods to make an efficient strategy for steganalysis of digital images. A very powerful method in this area is rich model consisting of a large number of diverse sub-models in both spatial and transform domain that should be utilized. However, the extraction of a various types of features from an image is so time consuming in some steps, especially for training pha...

Large scale ab initio calculations based on three levels of parallelization

We suggest and implement a parallelization scheme based on an efficient multiband eigenvalue solver, called the locally optimal block preconditioned conjugate gradient (lobpcg) method, and using an optimized three-dimensional (3D) fast Fourier transform (FFT) in the ab initio plane-wave code abinit. In addition to the standard data partitioning over processors corresponding to different k-point...
