Using a realistic molecular catalyst system, we conduct scaling studies of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations using the CP2K code on both Intel Xeon CPU and NVIDIA V100 GPU architectures. We explore using process placement and affinity to gain additional performance improvements. We also use statistical methods to understand performance changes in spite of the variability in runtime for each molecular dynamics timestep. We found ideal conditions for CPU runs included at least four MPI ranks per node, bound evenly across each socket, and fully utilizing processing cores with one OpenMP thread per core, no benefit was shown from reserving cores for the system. The CPU-only simulations scaled at 70% or more of the ideal scaling up to 10 compute nodes, after which the returns began to diminish more quickly. Simulations on a single 40-core node with two NVIDIA V100 GPUs for acceleration achieved over 3.7x speedup compared to the fastest single 36-core node CPU-only version, and showed 13% speedup over the fastest time we achieved across five CPU-only nodes.

We extend the ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) method based on density functional theory to the nonequilibrium situation where an electronic current is present in the electronic system. The dynamics is treated using the semi-classical generalized
This work examines the performance of leading-edge systems designed for machine learning computing, including the NVIDIA DGX-2, Amazon Web Services (AWS) P3, IBM Power System Accelerated Compute Server AC922, and a consumer-grade Exxact TensorEX TS4
Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) is a valuable technique for studying molecules and materials at finite temperatures where the nuclei evolve on potential energy surfaces obtained from accurate electronic structure calculations. In this work, a qua
Cloud computing has become increasingly popular. Many options of cloud deployments are available. Testing cloud performance would enable us to choose a cloud deployment based on the requirements. In this paper, we present an innovative process, imple
