Specialized Computational Resource for Multiscale Modeling of Chemically Reactive Processes
Abstract
A special-purpose, high-density multi-GPU machine is to be constructed along with new algorithms for reactive coarse grained force f""ields.AbstractIn this proposal a dedicated, high-density multi-GPU computational cluster is proposed to facilitate the development"" and execution of a novel reactive coarse-grained methodology to study chemical reactions in the condensed phase, such as the critic"al chemical degradation pathways of the multiphase polymeric mixes and electrolytes in lithium ion batteries. The combination of dedicated state-of-the-art compute hardware and innovative multiscale computational methodology will enable the study of materials and" energy storage systems with coarse-grained simulations of unprecedented size and duration, providing invaluable insight for the des""ign of components with increased performance, stability, and longevity. Additionally, this unique hardware will provide an invaluabl"e opportunity for students to learn cutting-edge high performance software development by enabling their design and implementation of computational strategies such as multi-GPU programming and advanced memory sharingbetween CPUs and GPUs. This DURIP request for dedicated computational nodes provides a critical computational resource for the underlying ONR project that cannot be satisfied by allocations of CPU time at the DOD supercomputer centers.
