We propose explicit symplectic integrators of molecular dynamics (MD) algorithms for rigid-body molecules in the canonical and isothermal-isobaric ensembles. We also present a symplectic algorithm in the constant normal pressure and lateral surface area ensemble and that combined with the Parrinello-Rahman algorithm. Employing the symplectic integrators for MD algorithms, there is a conserved quantity which is close to Hamiltonian. Therefore, we can perform a MD simulation more stably than by conventional nonsymplectic algorithms. We applied this algorithm to a TIP3P pure water system at 300 K and compared the time evolution of the Hamiltonian with those by the nonsymplectic algorithms. We found that the Hamiltonian was conserved well by the symplectic algorithm even for a time step of 4 fs. This time step is longer than typical values of 0.5-2 fs which are used by the conventional nonsymplectic algorithms.

We present generalized-ensemble algorithms for isobaric-isothermal molecular simulations. In addition to the multibaric-multithermal algorithm and replica-exchange method for the isobaric-isothermal ensemble, which have already been proposed, we prop
ose a simulated tempering method for this ensemble. We performed molecular dynamics simulations with these algorithms for an alanine dipeptide system in explicit water molecules to test the effectiveness of the algorithms. We found that these generalized-ensemble algorithms are all useful for conformational sampling of biomolecular systems in the isobaric-isothermal ensemble.
In the previous paper of this series [JCTC 2020, 16, 3757], we presented a theoretical and algorithmic framework based on a localized representation of the occupied space that exploits the inherent sparsity in the real-space evaluation of the EXX int
eraction in finite-gap systems. This was accompanied by a detailed description of exx, a massively parallel hybrid MPI/OpenMP implementation of this approach in Quantum ESPRESSO that enables linear-scaling hybrid DFT based AIMD in the NVE/NVT ensembles of condensed-phase systems containing 500--1000 atoms (in fixed orthorhombic cells) with a wall time cost comparable to semi-local DFT. In this work, we extend exx to enable hybrid DFT based AIMD of large-scale condensed-phase systems with general and fluctuating cells in the NpH/NpT ensembles. Our theoretical extension includes an analytical derivation of the EXX contribution to the stress tensor for systems in general cells with a computational complexity that scales linearly with system size. The corresponding algorithmic extensions to exx include optimized routines that: (i) handle static/fluctuating cells with non-orthogonal lattice symmetries, (ii) solve Poissons equation in general cells via an automated selection of the auxiliary grid directions in the Natan-Kronik representation of the discrete Laplacian operator, and (iii) evaluate the EXX contribution to the stress tensor. We also critically assess the computational performance of the extended exx module across several different HPC architectures via case studies on ice Ih, II, and III as well as ambient liquid water. We find that the extended exx can evaluate the EXX contribution to the stress tensor with negligible cost (< 1%) and remains highly scalable, thereby bringing us another step closer to routinely performing hybrid DFT based AIMD for large-scale condensed-phase systems across a wide range of thermodynamic conditions.
A parallel implementation of coupled spin-lattice dynamics in the LAMMPS molecular dynamics package is presented. The equations of motion for both spin only and coupled spin-lattice dynamics are first reviewed, including a detailed account of how mag
neto-mechanical potentials can be used to perform a proper coupling between spin and lattice degrees of freedom. A symplectic numerical integration algorithm is then presented which combines the Suzuki-Trotter decomposition for non-commuting variables and conserves the geometric properties of the equations of motion. The numerical accuracy of the serial implementation was assessed by verifying that it conserves the total energy and the norm of the total magnetization up to second order in the timestep size. Finally, a very general parallel algorithm is proposed that allows large spin-lattice systems to be efficiently simulated on large numbers of processors without degrading its mathematical accuracy. Its correctness as well as scaling efficiency were tested for realistic coupled spin-lattice systems, confirming that the new parallel algorithm is both accurate and efficient.
Isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to examine a broad set of properties of the model water-1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) mixture as a function of composition. The SPC-E and TIP4P-Ew water models and the modified TraPPE
model for DME were applied. Our principal focus was to explore the trends of behaviour of the structural properties in terms of the radial distribution functions, coordination numbers and number of hydrogen bonds between molecules of different species, and of conformations of DME molecules. Thermodynamic properties, such as density, molar volume, enthalpy of mixing and heat capacity at constant pressure have been examined. Finally, the self-diffusion coefficients of species and the dielectric constant of the system were calculated and analyzed.
It was recently demonstrated that a simple Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm involving the swap of particle pairs dramatically accelerates the equilibrium sampling of simulated supercooled liquids. We propose two numerical schemes integrating the efficiency
of particle swaps into equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We first develop a hybrid MD/MC scheme combining molecular dynamics with the original swap Monte Carlo. We implement this hybrid method in LAMMPS, a software package employed by a large community of users. Secondly, we define a continuous time version of the swap algorithm where both the positions and diameters of the particles evolve via Hamiltons equations of motion. For both algorithms, we discuss in detail various technical issues as well as the optimisation of simulation parameters. We compare the numerical efficiency of all available swap algorithms and discuss their relative merits.
