SCHEDULE: NOV 10-16, 2012
When viewing the Technical Program schedule, on the far righthand side is a column labeled "PLANNER." Use this planner to build your own schedule. Once you select an event and want to add it to your personal schedule, just click on the calendar icon of your choice (outlook calendar, ical calendar or google calendar) and that event will be stored there. As you select events in this manner, you will have your own schedule to guide you through the week.
Polarization Energy On a Cluster of Multicores
SESSION: Research Poster Reception
EVENT TYPE: Posters and Electronic Posters
TIME: 5:15PM - 7:00PM
SESSION CHAIR: Torsten Hoefler
AUTHOR(S):Jesmin Jahan Tithi
ROOM:East Entrance
ABSTRACT:
We have implemented distributed-memory and distributed-shared-memory parallel octree based algorithms for approximating polarization energy of protein molecules by extending prior work of Chowdhury et al. (2010) for shared-memory architectures. This is an octree-based hierarchical algorithm, built on Greengard-Rokhlin type near and far decomposition of data points (i.e., atoms and points sampled from the molecular surface) which calculates the polarization energy of protein molecules using the r^6 approximation of Generalized Born radii of atoms. We have shown that our implementations outperform state-of-the-art polarization energy implementations available in Amber-12, Gromacs-5.4.3, Tinker-6.0 and GBr6. Using approximations and efficient load-balancing scheme, we have achieved a speedup factor of about 34k w.r.t. the naïve exact algorithm with less than 1% error using as few as 144 cores (i.e., 12 compute nodes with 12 cores each) for molecules with half a million of atoms.
