Molecular dynamics (MD) is a computer simulation method of studying physical movements of atoms and molecules that provide detailed microscopic sampling on molecular scale. With the continuous efforts and improvements, MD simulation gained popularity in materials science, biochemistry and biophysics with various application areas and expanding data scale. Assisted Model Building with Energy Refinement...
Monte Carlo (MC) simulation plays an important part in dose calculation for radiotherapy treatment planning. Since the accuracy of MC simulation relies on the number of simulated particles histories, it's very time-consuming. The Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture, which consists of more than 50 cores and supports many parallel programming models, provides an efficient alternative for accelerating...
The coupling of microwaves into apertures plays an important part in many electromagnetic physics and engineering fields. When the width of apertures is very small, Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulation of the coupling is very time-consuming. As a many-core architecture, the Intel's Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture owns 512-bit vector units and more than 200 threads. In this paper,...
Whole genome re-sequencing plays a crucial role in biomedical studies. The emergence of genomic big data calls for an enormous amount of computing power. However, current computational methods are inefficient in utilizing available computational resources. In this paper, we address this challenge by optimizing the utilization of the fastest supercomputer in the world - TH-2 supercomputer. TH-2 is...
Simulation of particle transport is critical for a great many of scientific and engineering domains. The Monte Carlo (MC) method is one of the most important numerical methods for the simulation of particle transport, and can simulate many complex types of particle transport. But the computation requirement of the MC simulation is very large. In 2010, Intel announced the Intel Many Integrated Core...
Single-node computation speed is essential in large-scale parallel solutions of particle transport problems. The Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture supports more than 200 hardware threads as well as 512-bit double precision float-point vector operations. In this paper, we use the native model of MIC in the parallelization of the simulation of one energy group time-independent deterministic...
The Embarrassingly Parallel (EP) algorithm which is typical of many Monte Carlo applications provides an estimate of the upper achievable limits for double precision performance of parallel supercomputers. Recently, Intel released Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture as a many-core co-processor. MIC often offers more than 50 cores each of which can run four hardware threads as well as 512-bit vector...
