Scalable Metropolis Monte Carlo for simulation of hard shapes

Journal Article Anderson, Joshua A. ; Eric Irrgang, M. ; Glotzer, Sharon C. - Computer Physics Communications

We design and implement a scalable hard particle Monte Carlo simulation toolkit (HPMC), and release it open source as part of HOOMD-blue. HPMC runs in parallel on many CPUs and many GPUs using domain decomposition. We employ BVH trees instead of cell lists on the CPU for fast performance, especially with large particle size disparity, and optimize inner loops with SIMD vector intrinsics on the CPU. Our GPU kernel proposes many trial moves in parallel on a checkerboard and uses a block-level queue to redistribute work among threads and avoid divergence. HPMC supports a wide variety of shape classes, includingmore »« less

SQERT-T: alleviating kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC)-stiffness in transient KMC simulations [SQERT-T: Alleviating KMC-stiffness in Transient Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations]

Journal Article Savara, Aditya Ashi ; Sutton, Jonathan E. - Journal of Physics. Condensed Matter

Lattice based kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) is often used for simulating the dynamics of systems at a supramolecular scale, based on molecular scale transitions. A common challenge in KMC simulations is rapid 'back-and-forth' reactions, which dominate the events executed during simulations and inhibit the ability for simulations to reach longer time scales. Such processes are fast frivolous processes (FFPs) and are one manifestation of a phenomenon referred to as KMC-stiffness. Here, an algorithm for staggered quasi-equilibrium rank-based throttling geared towards transient kinetics (SQERT-T) is presented. Within the SQERT-T methodology, a pace-restrictor reaction and an FFP floor are utilized along withmore »« less

Generalized Metropolis acceptance criterion for hybrid non-equilibrium molecular dynamics—Monte Carlo simulations

Journal Article Chen, Yunjie ; Roux, Benoît - Journal of Chemical Physics

A family of hybrid simulation methods that combines the advantages of Monte Carlo (MC) with the strengths of classical molecular dynamics (MD) consists in carrying out short non-equilibrium MD (neMD) trajectories to generate new configurations that are subsequently accepted or rejected via an MC process. In the simplest case where a deterministic dynamic propagator is used to generate the neMD trajectories, the familiar Metropolis acceptance criterion based on the change in the total energy ΔE, min[1, exp( − βΔE)], guarantees that the hybrid algorithm will yield the equilibrium Boltzmann distribution. However, the functional form of the acceptance probability is moremore »« less

Multi-architecture Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation of soft coarse-grained polymeric materials: SOft coarse grained Monte-Carlo Acceleration (SOMA)

Journal Article Schneider, L. ; Müller, M. - Computer Physics Communications

According to the article, multi-component polymer systems are important for the development of new materials because of their ability to phase-separate or self-assemble into nano-structures. The Single-Chain-in-Mean-Field (SCMF) algorithm in conjunction with a soft, coarse-grained polymer model is an established technique to investigate these soft-matter systems. Here we present an implementation of this method: SOft coarse grained Monte-Carlo Acceleration (SOMA). It is suitable to simulate large system sizes with up to billions of particles, yet versatile enough to study properties of different kinds of molecular architectures and interactions. We achieve efficiency of the simulations commissioning accelerators like GPUs on bothmore »« less
