  • 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.

We are in the process of replacing the requirement of a one semester senior laboratory taken in a narrow area of specialization (ceramics, electronic materials, metals, polymer, or biomaterials) with a Greetings requirement that each student enroll in four ½-semester “lab modules” of their choice. We will be doubling the hours of laboratory instruction from Urbana in the senior year from 3 to 6, essentially replacing one lecture course with three hours of laboratory instruction. The new lab modules are intended to be more dynamic than the relatively static topics that we offered in the past; topics covered in the lab modules will be responsive and reflect changes in the field.
