Calcul haute performance & chimie quantique / Hight performance computing & quantum chemistry

Applencourt, Thomas 02 November 2015 (has links)
L'objectif de ce travail de thèse est double : - Le développement et application de méthodes originales pour la chimie quantique ; - La mise au point de stratégies informatiques variées permettant la réalisation de simulations à grande échelle. Dans la première partie, les méthodes d'integration de configuration (IC) et monte carlo quantique (QMC) utilisées dans ce travail pour le calcul des propriétés quantiques sont présentées. Nous détaillerons en particulier la méthode d'\IC sélectionnée perturbativement (CISPI) que nous avons utilisée pour construire des fonctions d'onde d'essai pour le QMC. La première application concerne le calcul des énergies totales non-relativistes des atomes de transition de la série 3d ; ceci a nécessité l'implémentation de fonctions de base de type Slater et a permis d'obtenir les meilleures valeurs publiées à ce jour. La deuxième application concerne l'implémentation de pseudo-potentiels adaptés à notre approche QMC, avec pour application une étude concernant le calcul des énergies d'atomisation d'un ensemble de 55 molécules. La seconde partie traite des aspects calcule haute performance (HPC) avec pour objectif l'aide au déploiement des simulations à très grande échelle, aussi bien sous l'aspect informatique proprement dit - utilisation de paradigmes de programmation originaux, optimisation des processus monocœurs, calculs massivement parallèles sur grilles de calcul (supercalculateur et Cloud), outils d'aide au développement collaboratif \textit{et cætera} -, que sous l'aspect \emph{utilisateur} - installation, gestion des paramètres d'entrée et de sortie, interface graphique, interfaçage avec d'autres codes. L'implémentation de ces différents aspects dans nos codes-maison quantum pakcage et qmc=chem est également présentée. / This thesis work has two main objectives: 1. To develop and apply original electronic structure methods for quantum chemistry 2. To implement several computational strategies to achieve efficient large-scale computer simulations. In the first part, both the Configuration Interaction (CI) and the Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods used in this work for calculating quantum properties are presented. We then describe more specifically the selected CI approach (so-called CIPSI approach, Configuration Interaction using a Perturbative Selection done Iteratively) that we used for building trial wavefunctions for QMC simulations. As a first application, we present the QMC calculation of the total non-relativistic energies of transition metal atoms of the 3d series. This work, which has required the implementation of Slater type basis functions in our codes, has led to the best values ever published for these atoms. We then present our original implementation of the pseudo-potentials for QMC and discuss the calculation of atomization energies for a benchmark set of 55 organic molecules. The second part is devoted to the Hight Performance Computing (HPC) aspects. The objective is to make possible and/or facilitate the deployment of very large-scale simulations. From the point of view of the developer it includes: The use of original programming paradigms, single-core optimization process, massively parallel calculations on grids (supercomputer and Cloud), development of collaborative tools , etc - and from the user's point of view: Improved code installation, management of the input/output parameters, GUI, interfacing with other codes, etc.

Communication Reducing Approaches and Shared-Memory Optimizations for the Hierarchical Fast Multipole Method on Distributed and Many-core Systems

Abduljabbar, Mustafa 06 December 2018 (has links)
We present algorithms and implementations that overcome obstacles in the migration of the Fast Multipole Method (FMM), one of the most important algorithms in computational science and engineering, to exascale computing. Emerging architectural approaches to exascale computing are all characterized by data movement rates that are slow relative to the demand of aggregate floating point capability, resulting in performance that is bandwidth limited. Practical parallel applications of FMM are impeded in their scaling by irregularity of domains and dominance of collective tree communication, which is known not to scale well. We introduce novel ideas that improve partitioning of the N-body problem with boundary distribution through a sampling-based mechanism that hybridizes two well-known partitioning techniques, Hashed Octree (HOT) and Orthogonal Recursive Bisection (ORB). To reduce communication cost, we employ two methodologies. First, we directly utilize features available in parallel runtime systems to enable asynchronous computing and overlap it with communication. Second, we present Hierarchical Sparse Data Exchange (HSDX), a new all-to-all algorithm that inherently relieves communication by relaying sparse data in a few steps of neighbor exchanges. HSDX exhibits superior scalability and improves relative performance compared to the default MPI alltoall and other relevant literature implementations. We test this algorithm alongside others on a Cray XC40 tightly coupled with the Aries network and on Intel Many Integrated Core Architecture (MIC) represented by Intel Knights Corner (KNC) and Intel Knights Landing (KNL) as modern shared-memory CPU environments. Tests include comparisons of thoroughly tuned handwritten versus auto-vectorization of FMM Particle-to-Particle (P2P) and Multipole-to-Local (M2L) kernels. Scalability of task-based parallelism is assessed with FMM’s tree traversal kernel using different threading libraries. The MIC tests show large performance gains after adopting the prescribed techniques, which are inevitable in a world that is moving towards many-core parallelism.

Calcul haute performance en dynamique des contacts via deux familles de décomposition de domaine / High performance computing of discrete nonsmooth contact dynamics via two domain décomposition methods

Visseq, Vincent 03 July 2013 (has links)
La simulation numérique des systèmes multicorps en présence d'interactions complexes, dont le contact frottant, pose de nombreux défis, tant en terme de modélisation que de temps de calcul. Dans ce manuscrit de thèse, nous étudions deux familles de décomposition de domaine adaptées au formalisme de la dynamique non régulière des contacts (NSCD). Cette méthode d'intégration implicite en temps de l'évolution d'une collection de corps en interaction a pour caractéristique de prendre en compte le caractère discret et non régulier d'un tel milieu. Les techniques de décomposition de domaine classiques ne peuvent de ce fait être directement transposées. Deux méthodes de décomposition de domaine proches des formalismes des méthodes de Schwarz et de complément de Schur sont présentées. Ces méthodes se révèlent être de puissants outils pour la parallélisation en mémoire distribuée des simulations granulaires 2D et 3D sur un centre de calcul haute performance. Le comportement de structure des milieux granulaires denses est de plus exploité afin de propager rapidement l'information sur l'ensemble des sous-domaines via un schéma semi-implicite d'intégration en temps. / Numerical simulations of the dynamics of discrete structures in presence of numerous impacts and frictional contacts leads to CPU-intensive large time computations. To deal with such realistic assemblies, numerical tools have been developed, in particular the method called nonsmooth contact dynamics (NSCD). Such modeling has to deal with discreteness and nonsmoothness, such that domain decomposition approaches for regular continuum media has to be rethought. We present further two domain decomposition method linked to Schwarz and Schur formalism. Scalability and numerical performances of the methods for 2D and 3D granular media is studied, showing good parallel behavior on a supercomputer platform. The structural behavior of dense granular packing is herein used to introduce a spacial multilevel preconditioner with a coarse problem to improve convergence in a space-time approach.
