  • Publication number: 20240169124
    Abstract: Improvements in a molecular-dynamic simulator provide ways to save energy during computation and reduce die area consumed on an integrated circuit. Examples of such improvements include different interaction modules for different ranges, the use of streaming along rows while multicasting along columns in an array of interaction modules, the selection of computation units based on balancing computational costs and communication costs, the use of fences in networks that connect computation units, and the use of bond calculators to carry out specialized bond calculations.
