A generic, hierarchical framework for massively parallel Wang Landau sampling

Journal Article Vogel, Thomas ; Li, Ying Wai ; Wuest, Thomas ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We introduce a parallel Wang Landau method based on the replica-exchange framework for Monte Carlo simulations. To demonstrate its advantages and general applicability for simulations of com- plex systems, we apply it to the self-assembly process in amphiphilic solutions and to lattice protein adsorption. Without loss of accuracy, the method gives significant speed-up on small architectures like multi-core processors, and should be beneficial for petaflop machines.

Massively parallel Wang Landau sampling on multiple GPUs

Journal Article Yin, Junqi ; Landau, D. P. - Computer Physics Communications

Wang Landau sampling is implemented on the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) with the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). Performances on three different GPU cards, including the new generation Fermi architecture card, are compared with that on a Central Processing Unit (CPU). The parameters for massively parallel Wang Landau sampling are tuned in order to achieve fast convergence. For simulations of the water cluster systems, we obtain an average of over 50 times speedup for a given workload.

Exploring new frontiers in statistical physics with a new, parallel Wang-Landau framework

Conference Vogel, Thomas ; Li, Ying Wai ; Wuest, Thomas ; ...

Combining traditional Wang Landau sampling for multiple replica systems with an exchange of densities of states between replicas we describe a general framework for simulations on massively parallel Petaflop supercomputers. The advantages and general applicability of the method for simulations of complex systems are demonstrated for the classical 2D Potts spin model featuring a strong first-order transition and the self-assembly of lipid bilayers in amphiphilic solutions in a continuous model.

Scalable replica-exchange framework for Wang Landau sampling

Journal Article Vogel, Thomas ; Li, Ying Wai ; Wuest, Thomas ; ... - Physical Review. E, Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics

We investigate a generic, parallel replica-exchange framework for Monte Carlo simulations based on the Wang Landau method. To demonstrate its advantages and general applicability for massively parallel simulations of complex systems, we apply it to lattice spin models, the self-assembly process in amphiphilic solutions, and the adsorption of molecules on surfaces. While of general, current interest, the latter phenomena are challenging to study computationally because of multiple structural transitions occurring over a broad temperature range. We show how the parallel framework facilitates simulations of such processes and, without any loss of accuracy or precision, gives a significant speedup and allowsmore »« less
