A Vectorized Algorithm for Molecular Dynamics of Short Range Interacting Particles

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v2

Abstract

We report on a lattice based algorithm, completely vectorized for molecular dynamics simulations. Its algorithmic complexity is of the order O(N), where NN is the number of particles. The algorithm works very effectively when the particles have short range interaction, but it is applicable to each kind of interaction. The code was tested on a Cray ymp el in a simulation of flowing granular material.
