Description
MULTIDYN has been developed at the University of Ostrava, the Institute of Geonics of the Academy of Sciences of the CR, and the VSB - Technical University of Ostrava in a close collaboration with the Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry, Prague, CR, and P. Sabatier University, Toulouse, FR.
The package has been designed for numerical simulations of mixed classical nuclear and quantum electronic dynamics of atomic complexes with many electronic states and transitions between them involved. In the present version, several mean-field dynamical schemes with the inclusion of quantum decoherence have been implemented for the (semi)classical trajectory approach and parallelized over the trajectories using the MPI protocol. Presently implemented interaction models comprise cationic clusters of argon, krypton and xenon, and are based on extended semiempirical diatomics-in-molecules approaches with the inclusion of the spin-orbit coupling and leading many-body interaction terms.
Plethora of non-adiabatic processes can be modeled in cationic rare-gas clusters combining the core code (MULTIDIS) with various preprocessing tools:
- photodissociation,
- post-ionization decay,
- atom-cluster and cluster-cluster collisions.
The code is written in Fortran 90 and version 2.0 has been parallelized using MPI. This version requires also LAPACK and BLAS libraries.
Parallel version 2.0 has been tested on the following computers at SPC VSB:
- Floreon SMP, SMP computer with eight Six-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 8425 HE CPUs, GNU Fortran compiler 4.1.2, OpenMPI 1.2.8
- Teri, cluster of 16 SMP nodes, each with 2 x CPU Intel Xeon QuadCore CPU, GNU Fortran compiler 4.1.2, OpenMPI 1.2.8
Thanks to the PRACE Research Infrastructure, we have been also able to test the parallel version running on up to 16384 CPU cores on the following supercomputers:
- JUGENE, IBM BlueGene/P Supercomputer with 294 912 PowerPC 450 CPU cores, IBM XL Fortan compiler V11.1, IBM MPICH2-based MPI library
- HERMIT, Cray XE6 Supercomputer with 113 664 AMD Interlagos CPU cores, Cray Fortran compiler 4.0.36, Cray XT MPICH2-based MPI library 5.4.4
- CURIE Supercomputer (thin node partition), 80640 Intel Xeon CPU cores, Intel Fortran compiler 12.1.7.256, BullX 1.1.14.1 MPI library
Presently, the code is mainly used on the supercomputers of the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center.
