Deploying Elbrus VLIW CPU Ecosystem for Materials Science Calculations: Performance and Problems.
P. 543–553.
Modern Elbrus-4S and Elbrus-8S processors show floating point performance comparable to the popular Intel processors in the field of high-performance computing. Tasks oriented to take advantage of the VLIW architecture show even greater efficiency on Elbrus processors. In this paper the efficiency of the most popular materials science codes in the field of classical molecular dynamics and quantum-mechanical calculations is considered. A comparative analysis of the performance of these codes on Elbrus processor and other modern processors is carried out.

Fluid dynamics is a ubiquitous problem that arises in different branches of science and industry. It is usually tackled by numerically solving differential equations on a finite grid. Molecular dynamics was not a feasible tool to approach fluid dynamics until very recently due to its disproportional computational complexity. In this paper we propose a new ...

Classical molecular dynamics (MD) calculations represent a significant part of the utilization time of high-performance computing systems. As usual, the efficiency of such calculations is based on an interplay of software and hardware that are nowadays moving to hybrid GPU-based technologies. Several well-developed open-source MD codes focused on GPUs differ both in their data management ...

In this work, a new algorithm was developed for calculating the fourpoint water model TIP4P on graphics accelerators. It was designed as a part of the flexible molecular dynamics modeling package LAMMPS in the library module “GPU”. In this paper we describe two approaches to implement the TIP4P model for GPU: 1) to divide the ...
