Abstract:Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has broad applications, but its irregular memory-access pattern makes performance optimization a challenge. This paper presents a joint application/architecture study to enhance on-chip parallelism of MD on Godson-T -like many-core architecture. First, a preprocessing leveraging an adaptive divide-and-conquer framework is designed to exploit locality through memory hierarchy with software controlled memory. Then we propose three incremental optimization strategies: (1) a nove… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
