Molecular Dynamics Simulations and the Importance of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Resources Douglas E. Spearot Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Faculty Campus Champion for Cyberinfrastructure University of Arkansas Fayetteville, AR 72701 Cyberinfrastructure Days – Marshall University April 7th, 2011

What is Molecular Dynamics? Molecular dynamics (MD) involves the explicit simulation of atomic scale particles – including atoms and molecules Example: DNA Molecular mechanics (statics) Athermal calculation used to find minimum energy configuration Uses numerical algorithm such as steepest decent or conjugate gradients Molecular dynamics Simulate motion of atoms in time at desired temperature / pressure Uses numerical integration to solve equations of motion for each atom Monte Carlo methods Sample equilibrium configurations of atoms via random displacements Uses random number generators to perturb system from current state Rokadia et al. (2010)

Why Molecular Dynamics? Exploration of the unknown or misunderstood Experiments often do not provide sufficient resolution to study discrete atomic motions in response to a set of boundary conditions Simulations allow exploration of material behavior under boundary conditions that can not be easily tested experimentally Example: Defects in Carbon Nanotubes www.nano-lab.com Image by N. Chopra Stone-Wales transformation Zhang et al. (2005; 2007)

How Does Molecular Dynamics Work? In the molecular dynamics method, each atom is treated as a point mass in space Once the force on each atom is computed, atomic motion is determined through application of Newton’s Laws of Motion Simplify Second-order ordinary differential equation which can be numerically integrated to find new atomic positions! i

How Does Molecular Dynamics Work? Interatomic potential provides the “constitutive law” that defines how atoms interact with each other Accuracy of a molecular dynamics simulation is dependent on the accuracy of U Example: Polymers / Biomolecules

Need for Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Problem 1: Materials are made up of lots of atoms Forces and atom positions have to be updated at each integration time step Solution 1: Parallel decomposition techniques Example: Small cube of FCC Cu 1 mm Core 1 Core 2 Core 3 Core 4 Core 5 Core 6 Core 7 Core 8 “Star of Arkansas” Current world record: 320 billion atoms with EAM potential (T. Germann et al., using 131,072 cores on IBM BlueGene/L at LLNL)

Need for Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Other “scale” issues related to physical size Microstructure related statistics may not be captured with small systems Atomistic model of a nanocrystalline metal Small Simulation Model (<20 grains) Large Simulation Model (>400 grains)

Exploration of Material Properties With an “appropriate” microstructure models, mechanical properties can be explored Maximum stress Flow stress The “inverse” Hall-Petch relationship can be captured via atomistic simulations Rajgarhia, Spearot, et al. (2010) Journal of Materials Research, 25, 411.

Need for Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Problem 2: Atoms vibrate at very high frequencies Requires integration time steps on the order of 1 fs Limits molecular dynamics simulations to ns of material behavior Solution 2: Parallel-replica dynamics (minor but measurable benefit) Idea is to replicate entire system on N cores and run N independent simulations until a specific “event” occurs – at that point all simulations are stopped and updated to the “event” configuration

Need for Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Problem 3: What do I do with all of this data? Need visualization tools to sort, view and analyze a large amount of temporal and spatial data!

Need for Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Solution 3: Data visualization and analysis Commercial: Ensight, Materials Studio, etc. Open Source: VMD, Ovito, AtomEye, ParaView, VisIT, etc. Paul Navratil, TACC For atomistic/molecular simulations, geometric primitives are “spheres” meant to represent each atom in the system

Select a specific polymer chain

Remove all other polymer chains to study behavior of the selected chain

“Slice” through the system to study a specific phenomenon Polymer/nanoparticle interface; impact of nanoparticle on chain dynamics
