Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In this work, we present a tentative step towards the efficient implementation of polarizable molecular mechanics force fields with GPU acceleration. The computational bottleneck of such applications is found in the treatment of electrostatics, where higher-order multipoles and a self- consistent treatment of polarization effects are needed. We have implemented a GPU accelerated code, based on the Tinker program suite, for the computation of induced dipoles. The largest test system used shows a speedup factor of over 20 for a single precision GPU implementation, when comparing to the serial CPU version. A discussion of the optimization and parameterization steps is included. Comparison between different graphic cards and CPU-GPU embedding is also given. The current work demonstrates the potential usefulness of GPU programming in accelerating this field of applications.
