  • Parallel Implementation Details of Openatom 1 Parallel Implementation
    Parallel Implementation Details of OpenAtom An accurate understanding of phenomena occurring at the quantum scale can be achieved by considering a model representing the electronic structure of the atoms involved. The Car- Parrinello ab initio Molecular Dynamics (CPAIMD) method [?, ?, ?, ?] is one such algorithm which has been widely used to study systems containing 10 − 103 atoms. The implemen- tation of CPAIMD in Charm++ is called OpenAtom [?, ?]. To achieve a fine-grained parallelization of CPAIMD, computation in OpenAtom is divided into a large number of virtual processors which enables scaling to tens of thousands of processors. We will look at the parallel implementation of this technique, understand its computational phases and the communication involved and then analyze the benefit from topology-aware mapping of its objects. 1 Parallel Implementation In an ab-initio approach, the system is driven by electrostatic interactions between the nuclei and electrons. Calculating the electrostatic energy involves computing several terms: (1) quantum mechanical kinetic energy of non-interacting electrons, (2) Coulomb interaction between electrons or the Hartree energy, (3) correction of the Hartree energy to account for the quantum nature of the electrons or the exchange-correlation energy, and (4) interaction of electrons with atoms in the system or the external energy. Hence, CPAIMD computations involve a large number of phases (Figure 1) with high interprocessor communication. These phases are discretized into a large number of virtual processors which generate a lot of communication, but ensures efficient interleaving of work. The various phases are: • Phase I: In this phase, the real-space representation of the electronic states is obtained from the g-space representation through a transpose based 3-dimensional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).

    Virt&l-Comm.3.2012.1 A MODERN APPROACH TO AB INITIO COMPUTING IN CHEMISTRY, MOLECULAR AND MATERIALS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGIES ANTONIO LAGANA’, DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY, UNIVERSITY OF PERUGIA, PERUGIA (IT)* ABSTRACT In this document we examine the present situation of Ab initio computing in Chemistry and Molecular and Materials Science and Technologies applications. To this end we give a short survey of the most popular quantum chemistry and quantum (as well as classical and semiclassical) molecular dynamics programs and packages. We then examine the need to move to higher complexity multiscale computational applications and the related need to adopt for them on the platform side cloud and grid computing. On this ground we examine also the need for reorganizing. The design of a possible roadmap to establishing a Chemistry Virtual Research Community is then sketched and some examples of Chemistry and Molecular and Materials Science and Technologies prototype applications exploiting the synergy between competences and distributed platforms are illustrated for these applications the middleware and work habits into cooperative schemes and virtual research communities (part of the first draft of this paper has been incorporated in the white paper issued by the Computational Chemistry Division of EUCHEMS in August 2012) INTRODUCTION The computational chemistry (CC) community is made of individuals (academics, affiliated to research institutions and operators of chemistry related companies) carrying out computational research in Chemistry, Molecular and Materials Science and Technology (CMMST). It is to a large extent registered into the CC division (DCC) of the European Chemistry and Molecular Science (EUCHEMS) Society and is connected to other chemistry related organizations operating in Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, Chemometrics, Omics-sciences, Medicinal chemistry, Forensic chemistry, Food chemistry, etc.

Received: 17 February 2014; in revised form: 28 March 2014 / Accepted: 9 April 2014 / Published: 25 April 2014 Abstract: Nanotechnology has arisen as a key player in the field of nanomedicine. Although the use of engineered nanoparticles is rapidly increasing, safety assessment is also important for the beneficial use of new nanomaterials. Considering that the experimental assessment of new nanomaterials is costly and laborious, in silico approaches hold promise. Several major challenges in nanotechnology indicate a need for nanoinformatics. New database initiatives such as ISA-TAB-Nano, caNanoLab, and Nanomaterial Registry will help in data sharing and developing data standards, and, as the amount of nanomaterials data grows, will provide a way to develop methods and tools specific to the nanolevel. In this review, we describe emerging databases and tools that should aid in the progress of nanotechnology research. Keywords: biomedical informatics; databases; molecular simulations; nanoinformatics; nanomedicine; nanotechnology; QSAR; text mining 1. Introduction Nanotechnology enables the design and assembly of components with dimensions ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm) [1]. The word nano, which is derived from the Greek word for dwarf, has been part of the scientific nomenclature since 1960 [2].

  • WHAT INFLUENCE WOULD a CLOUD BASED SEMANTIC LABORATORY NOTEBOOK HAVE on the DIGITISATION and MANAGEMENT of SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH? by Samantha Kanza
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering School of Electronics and Computer Science What Influence would a Cloud Based Semantic Laboratory Notebook have on the Digitisation and Management of Scientific Research? by Samantha Kanza Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 25th April 2018 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF PHYSICAL SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING SCHOOL OF ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE Doctor of Philosophy WHAT INFLUENCE WOULD A CLOUD BASED SEMANTIC LABORATORY NOTEBOOK HAVE ON THE DIGITISATION AND MANAGEMENT OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH? by Samantha Kanza Electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) have been studied by the chemistry research community over the last two decades as a step towards a paper-free laboratory; sim- ilar work has also taken place in other laboratory science domains. However, despite the many available ELN platforms, their uptake in both the academic and commercial worlds remains limited. This thesis describes an investigation into the current ELN landscape, and its relationship with the requirements of laboratory scientists. Market and literature research was conducted around available ELN offerings to characterise their commonly incorporated features. Previous studies of laboratory scientists examined note-taking and record-keeping behaviours in laboratory environments; to complement and extend this, a series of user studies were conducted as part of this thesis, drawing upon the techniques of user-centred design, ethnography, and collaboration with domain experts. These user studies, combined with the characterisation of existing ELN features, in- formed the requirements and design of a proposed ELN environment which aims to bridge the gap between scientists' current practice using paper lab notebooks, and the necessity of publishing their results electronically, at any stage of the experiment life cycle.

  • Anomalous Transport Mechanisms of Hydronium and Hydroxide Ions in Aqueous Solution Probed by Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics
    Ab initio molecular dynamics via the Car-Parrinello method: Basic ideas, theory and algorithms Mark E. Tuckerman Dept. of Chemistry and Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences New York University, 100 Washington Sq. East New York, NY 10003 1808: “We are perhaps not far removed from the time when we shall be able to submit the bulk of chemical phenomena to calculation.” Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac (1778-1850) “The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty is only that the exact solution of these laws leads to equations much to complicated to be soluble.” Paul Dirac on Quantum Mechanics (1929). “Every attempt to refer chemical questions to mathematical doctrines must be considered, now and always, profoundly irrational, as being contrary to the nature of the phenomena.” August Comte, 1830 Motivation • Car-Parrinello is a method for performing molecular dynamics with forces obtained from electronic structure calculations performed “on the fly” as the simulation proceeds. This is known as ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD). • As a result, AIMD calculations are considerably more expensive than force-field calculations, which only involve evaluation of simple functions of position. • Force fields, although useful, are, with notable exceptions, unable to treat chemical bond breaking and forming events. • Force fields often lack transferability to thermodynamic situations in which they are not designed to work. • Polarization
