MCSIMUL

MCSIMUL

MCSIMUL has been developed at VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic. The program package is intended for classical Monte Carlo simulations of selected systems (like pure and/or doped water and mercury clusters) at canonical (NVT) and isobaric-isothermal (NPT) statistical ensembles. Different interaction models (rigid or flexible molecules, polarizable molecules) and different admixtures (rare gas atoms, methane molecule) are implemented. Codes are written in Fortran 90 and are parallelized using an MPI protocol where each system (at particular temperature and pressure may) by simulated on each own core. Parallel tempering swaps are implemented and information between different systems is ensured using MPI send/receive procedures.

The code has been tested and used on the following computers:

Anselm: x86-64 Linux cluster at IT4Innovations Ostrava, 209 nodes with Intel Sandy Bridge, Infiniband QDR interconnect

Abel: x86-64 Linux cluster at University of Oslo, 650 nodes with Intel Sandy Bridge, Infiniband FDR interconnect

Karadeniz: x86-64 Linux cluster at UHEM Istanbul, 64 nodes with Intel Nehalem, Infiniband 20 Gbps interconnect

Karolina: AMD based cluster at IT4Innovations Ostrava, see here
