SPEED UP SIMULATION

• Finding optimal resources

  A poor choice of job submission or simulation parameters leads to poor performance and a waste of computing resources. However, finding optimal MD engines and submission parameters in a complex HPC environment with heterogeneous hardware is a daunting and time-consuming challenge. We developed this web portal to simplify this task.

• How fast will a simulation run?

  A quick look at the chart of the maximum simulation speed of all MD executables tested on CC systems offers a quick idea of how long a simulation will take.

• Finding balance between speed and efficiency

  The fastest simulations may be inefficient due to poor parallel scaling to many CPUs or GPUs. Inefficient simulations consume more resources and impact priority, resulting in longer times in queue and less work done. Color-coded by efficiency chart allows choosing an optimal combination of speed and efficiency.
