Multiobjective genetic training and uncertainty quantification of reactive force fields

Journal Article Mishra, Ankit ; Hong, Sungwook ; Rajak, Pankaj ; ... - npj Computational Materials

The ReaxFF reactive force-field approach has significantly extended the applicability of reactive molecular dynamics simulations to a wide range of material properties and processes. ReaxFF parameters are commonly trained to fit a predefined set of quantum-mechanical data, but it remains uncertain how accurately the quantities of interest are described when applied to complex chemical reactions. Here, we present a dynamic approach based on multiobjective genetic algorithm for the training of ReaxFF parameters and uncertainty quantification of simulated quantities of interest. ReaxFF parameters are trained by directly fitting reactive molecular dynamics trajectories against quantum molecular dynamics trajectories on the fly, wheremore »« less

STOMP Subsurface Transport Over Multiple Phases, Version 4.0, User’s Guide

Technical Report White, Mark D. ; Oostrom, Martinus

This guide describes the general use, input file formatting, compilation and execution of the STOMP (Subsurface Transport Over Multiple Phases) simulator, a scientific tool for analyzing single and multiple phase subsurface flow and transport. A description of the simulator’s governing equations, constitutive functions and numerical solution algorithms are provided in a companion theory guide. In writing these guides for the STOMP simulator, the authors have assumed that the reader comprehends concepts and theories associated with multiple-phase hydrology, heat transfer, thermodynamics, radioactive chain decay, and relative permeability-saturation-capillary pressure constitutive relations. The authors further assume that the reader is familiar with themore »« less

Massively parallel first-principles simulation of electron dynamics in materials

Journal Article Draeger, Erik W. ; Andrade, Xavier ; Gunnels, John A. ; ... - Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing

Here we present a highly scalable, parallel implementation of first-principles electron dynamics coupled with molecular dynamics (MD). By using optimized kernels, network topology aware communication, and by fully distributing all terms in the time-dependent Kohn–Sham equation, we demonstrate unprecedented time to solution for disordered aluminum systems of 2000 atoms (22,000 electrons) and 5400 atoms (59,400 electrons), with wall clock time as low as 7.5 s per MD time step. Despite a significant amount of non-local communication required in every iteration, we achieved excellent strong scaling and sustained performance on the Sequoia Blue Gene/Q supercomputer at LLNL. We obtained up tomore »« less

Performance of extended Lagrangian schemes for molecular dynamics simulations with classical polarizable force fields and density functional theory

Journal Article Vitale, Valerio ; Dziedzic, Jacek ; Albaugh, Alex ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Iterative energy minimization with the aim of achieving self-consistency is a common feature of Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) and classical molecular dynamics with polarizable force fields. In the former, the electronic degrees of freedom are optimized, while the latter often involves an iterative determination of induced point dipoles. The computational effort of the self-consistency procedure can be reduced by re-using converged solutions from previous time steps. However, this must be done carefully, as not to break time-reversal symmetry, which negatively impacts energy conservation. Self-consistent schemes based on the extended Lagrangian formalism, where the initial guesses for the optimized quantities aremore »« less
