Qendrim Behrami: Vectorization of the Lennard-Jones Potential for Multi-Site Molecules in AutoPas

SCCS Colloquium |


Molecular dynamics simulations are a valuable computational tool used to study the behavior of complex molecular systems. Due to the large number of particles involved in real-world simulations, significant computational effort is required. Therefore, applying efficient parallelization techniques, such as vectorization, is crucial to perform large-scale simulations within a reasonable time frame. This thesis aims to demonstrate the impact of vectorization by presenting a vectorized implementation for calculating Lennard-Jones forces between particles with multiple interaction sites. Various vectorization techniques are explored, and extensive analysis is conducted to highlight the potential benefits of vectorization in molecular dynamics simulations.

Bachelor's thesis presentation. Qendrim is advised by Samuel Newcome, and Prof. Dr. Hans-Joachim Bungartz.
