Hi all,

As part of an Exascale project I’ve been asked to gather information on biomolecular simulation code performance in terms of numerical methods. Specifically how - for typical large (c 1M atom) problem sizes – codes divide their time between the “numerical dwarves”. For reference, these are a) Dense linear algebra, b) Sparse linear algebra, c) Spectral. Methods (e.g. FFT), d) N-body methods, e) Structured grids, f) Unstructured grids, g) MapReduce, h) Combinational logic, i) Graph traversal, j) Dynamic programming, k) Backtrack & Branch-and-bound, l) Graphical models, and m) Finite state machines. What percentage of a typical run would be spent doing each of these?

Does anyone have any data on this for the latest releases of pmemd.cuda, in particular?

Many thanks for all insights!
