✦ Synopsis

We present a novel multiscale approach for molecular dynamics simulations. It is aimed at bridging discrete scales with either coarse grained discrete or continuum scales. The method consists of the waveform relaxation scheme aimed at capturing the high frequency response of atomistic vibrations and a coarse scale solution in space and time aimed at resolving smooth features (in both space and time domains) of the discrete medium. The method is implicit in space and time, possesses superior stability properties and consequently enables larger time steps governed by accuracy considerations of coarse scale quantities of interest. Performance studies on polymer melts have shown significant speed-up compared to the classical explicit methods, in particular on parallel machines.

A modeling approach that can significantly speed up the dynamics simulation of large molecular systems is presented herein. A multigranular modeling approach, whereby different parts of the molecule are modeled at different levels of detail, is enabled by substructuring. Substructuring the molecular

A generalization of the previously proposed non-iterative matrix method (NIMM) for constraint molecular dynamics simulations is presented. The resultant generalized version of NIMM (gNIMM) makes possible the constraint force calculation with exactly the same procedure (subroutine) for various "Verle

We describe an adaptive method for achieving load balance in parallel computations simulating phenomena which are distributed over a spatially extended region, but are local in nature. We have tested the method on standard short-ranged parallel molecular dynamics calculations. The performance gain w

We consider the application of canonical numerical integrators to molecular dynamics simulations. Computer experiments are done to analyze the relative merits of using canonical integrators against their noncanonical counterparts. These experiments involve the study of the properties of liquid argon
