DASHMM Accelerated Adaptive Fast Multipole Poisson-Boltzmann Solver on Distributed Memory Architecture
share
We present an updated version of the AFMPB package for fast calculation of molecular solvation-free energy. The main feature of the new version is the successful adoption of the DASHMM library, which enables AFMPB to operate on distributed memory computers. As a result, the new version can easily handle larger molecules or situations with higher accuracy requirements. To demonstrate the updated code, we applied the new version to a dengue virus system with more than one million atoms and a mesh with approximately 20 million triangles, and were able to reduce the time-to-solution from 10 hours reported in the previous release on a shared memory computer to less than 30 seconds on a Cray XC30 cluster using 12, 288 cores.
