Parallelization of Molecular Dynamics(分子動力学法の並列化)
Molecular dynamics (MD) is a very useful tool to understand various phenomena in atomistic detail. In MD, we can overcome the size- and time-scale problems by efficient parallelization. In this lecture, I’ll explain various parallelization methods of MD with some examples of GENESIS MD software optimization on Fugaku.

Overview of MD
Molecular Dynamics (MD) 1. Energy/forces are described by classical molecular mechanics force field. 2. Update state according to equations of motion 𝐩! 𝐫!̇ = 𝑚! 𝐩̇ ! = 𝐅! Equation of motion 1 1 𝐩! 𝑡 + ∆𝑡 = 𝐩! 𝑡 − ∆𝑡 + 𝐅! 𝑡 ∆𝑡 2 2 1 +! 𝑡 + ∆𝑡 ∆𝑡 𝐩 2 𝐫! 𝑡 + ∆𝑡 = 𝐫! 𝑡 + 𝑚!

Difficulty to perform long time MD simulation 1. One time step length (Δt) is limited to 1-2 fs due to vibrations. 2. On the other hand, biologically meaningful events occur on the time scale of milliseconds or longer. 3. We need to accelerate energy/force calculation for long time MD fs ps ns μs ms sec vibrations Sidechain motions Mainchain motions Folding Protein global motions

Parallelization is one of the solutions to accelerate MD simulations Serial Parallel X16? 1cpu CPU Core C 1cpu 16 cpus MPI Comm Good Parallelization ; 1) Small amount of computation in one process 2) Small communicational cost
Parallelization
Shared memory parallelization (OpenMP) C Memory #pragma omp parallel Fortran !$omp parallel P1 P2 P3 PP-1 PP • All processes share data in memory • For efficient parallelization, processes should not access the same memory address. • It is only available for multi-processors in a physical node
Distributed memory parallelization (MPI) M M M 1 2 3 MP-1 M P … P1 P2 P3 call mpi_init call mpi_comm_rank PP PP call_mpi_comm_size -1 • Processors do not share data in memory • We need to send/receive data via communications • For efficient parallelization, the amount of communication data should be minimized

PP-1 PP !$omp parallel do do i = 1, N .. • Combination of shared memory and distributed memory parallelization. • It is useful for minimizing communicational cost with very large number of processors end do !$omp end parallel do
Low level parallelization: SIMD (Single instruction, multiple data) SIMD No SIMD 4 times faster • Same operation on multiple data points simultaneously • Usually applicable to common tasks like adjusting graphic image or volume • In most MD programs, SIMD becomes the one of the important topics to increase the performance
MPI Parallelization of MD (non-bonded interaction in real space)
Parallelization scheme 1: Replicated data approach 1. Each process has a copy of all particle data. 2. Each process works only part of the whole works by proper assign in do loops. do i = 1, N do j = i+1, N energy(i,j) force(i,j) end do end do my_rank = MPI_Rank proc = total MPI do i = my_rank+1, N, proc do j = i+1, N energy(i,j) force(i,j) end do end do MPI reduction (energy,force)
Parallelization scheme 1: Replicated data approach atom indices Computational cost 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 MPI rank 0 MPI rank 1 MPI rank 2 MPI rank 3 1. Perfect load balance is not guaranteed in this parallelization scheme 2. Reduction with communication prevents the larger number of MPIs.
Hybrid (MPI+OpenMP) parallelization of the Replicated data approach 1. 2. Works are distributed over MPI and OpenMP threads. Parallelization is increased by reducing the number of MPIs involved in communications. do i = my_rank+1, N, proc do j = i+1, N energy(i,j) force(i,j) end do end do MPI reduction !$omp parallel id = omp thread id my_id = my_rank*nthread + id do i = my_id+1, N, proc*nthread do j = i+1, N energy(i,j) force(i,j) end do end do Openmp reduciton !$omp end parallel do i = my_rank+1,N,proc !omp parallel do do j = i+1, N or energy(i,j) force(i,j) end do !$omp end parallel do end do MPI reduction MPI reduction my_rank: MPI rank, proc: total number of MPIs, nthread: total number of OMP threads
Pros and Cons of the Replicated data approach 1. Pros : easy to implement 2. Cons • Parallel efficiency is not good • No perfect load balance • Communication cost is not reduced by increasing the number of processes • We can parallelize only for energy calculation (with MPI, parallelization of integration is not so much efficient) • Needs a lot of memory • Usage of global data
Parallelization scheme 2: Domain decomposition 1. The simulation space is divided into subdomains according to MPI (different colors for different MPIs). 2. Each MPI only considers the corresponding subdomain. 3. MPI communications only among neighboring processes. Communications between processors
Parallelization scheme 2: Domain decomposition Buffer Subdomain 𝒓𝒄 1. For the interaction between different subdomains, it is necessary to have the data of the buffer region of each subdomain. 2. The size of the buffer region is dependent on the cutoff values. 3. The interaction between particles in different subdomains should be considered very carefully. 4. The size of the subdomain and buffer region is decreased by increasing the number of processes.
Pros and Cons of the domain decomposition approach 1. Pros • • Good parallel efficiency • Reduced computational cost by increasing the number of processes • We can easily parallelize not only energy but also integration Availability of a huge system • Data size is decreased by increasing the number of processes 2. Cons • Implementation is not easy • Domain decomposition scheme is highly depend on the potential energy type, cutoff and so on • Good performance cannot be obtained for nonuniform particle distributions

Parallel 3D FFT – slab (1D) decomposition 1. Slab decomposition of 3D FFT has three steps • 2D FFT (or two 1D FFT) along the two local dimension • Global transpose (communication) • 1D FFT along third dimension 2. Pros • fast using small number of processes 3. Cons • Limitation of the number of processes

Parallel 3D FFT –2D decomposition 1. 2D decomposition of 3D FFT has five steps • 1D FFT along the local dimension • Global transpose • 1D FFT along the second dimension • Global transpose • 1D FFT along the third dimension 2. The global transpose requires communication only between subgroups of all nodes 3. Cons: Slower than 1D decomposition for a small number of processes 4. Pros : Maximum parallelization is increased
Parallel 3D FFT – 3D decomposition • More communications than existing FFT • MPI_Alltoall communications only in one dimensional space • Reduce communicational cost for large number of processes Ref) J. Jung et al. Comput. Phys. Comm. 200, 57-65 (2016)

Domain decomposition in GENESIS SPDYN 𝒓𝒄 /𝟐 1. The simulation space is divided into subdomain according to the number of MPI processes. 2. Each subdomain is further divided into the unit domain (named cell). 3. Particle data are grouped together in each cell. 4. Communications are considered only between neighboring processes. 5. In each subdomain, OpenMP parallelization is used.
Cell-wise particle data in GENESIS 1. Each cell contains an array with the data of the particles that reside within it 2. This improves the locality of the particle data for operations on individual cells or pairs of cells. particle data in traditional cell lists cell-wise arrays of particle data Ref : P. Gonnet, JCC 33, 76 (2012) J. Jung et al. JCC, 35, 1064 (2014)
Midpoint cell method • For every cell pair, midpoint cell is decided. • If midpoint cell is not uniquely decided, we decide it by considering load balance. • For every particle pairs, interaction subdomain is decided from the midpoint cell. • With this scheme, we can only communicate data of each subdomain only considering the adjacent cells of each subdomain. Ref : J. Jung et al. JCC, 35, 1064 (2014)
Subdomain structure with midpoint cell method 1. Each MPI has local subdomain which is surrounded by boundary cells. 2. At least, the local subdomain has at least two cells in each direction 𝑟# /2 Local sub-domain Boundary

Fugaku supercomputer 1. Number of Cores: 7,630,848 2. Each node has 4 core memory groups (CMGs) 3. Each CMG has 12 cores with 2.0 GHz clock speed 4. In each node, there are assistant cores (2 cores for computational node and 4 cores for I/O and computational node) 5. HBM 32 GiB memory 6.

How to optimize on Fugaku? Algorithm1 (X) Algorithm2 (O) do i = 1, 16 do j = 1, 16 f(i,j) end do end do do ij = 1, 256 index i and j from ij f(i,j) end do end do 1. In principle, there is no difference between Algorithm1 and Algorithm2 because of the same operation amount. 2. On Fugaku, Algorithm2 has better performance than Algorithm1. 3. The main reason is the operand waiting time for each do loop. On Fugaku, there are nonnegligible waiting time before executing calculations in the do loop. 4. To minimize the waiting time, the most inner do loop length should be long. 5. If the most inner do loop length is small, it would be better not to vectorize when compiling. do i = 1, 3 f(i) end do !$ocl nosimd do i = 1, 3 f(i) end do f(1:3) !$ocl nosimd f(1:3) f(1), f(2), f(3)

Charge grid data evaluation in GENESIS 1.X grids 1. Charge values is transferred to the neighbor grids. 2. The amount of neighbor depends on the spline order. Real-space 𝐷!

New scheme of charge grid data for Fugaku (1) Real-space Reciprocal-space • Charge grid data is obtained from the charge values in the subdomain only. • In this way, we don’t have to consider charge grid data loss even for large spline order.
New scheme of charge grid data for Fugaku (2) Real-space Reciprocal-space 1. In the new scheme, we generate charge grid data only from the subdomain. 2. Charge grid data generated out of the subdomain is sent to next subdomain with communication. 3. It accelerates the speed by reducing operation and higher order spline can be used. 4. The communication used is not global, so it does not lose the performance significantly.
Additional considerations when using Fugaku Fugaku compilation Source Code start => domain%start_atom do i = 2, N start(i) = start(i-1) + natom(i-1) end do 1 1 pp p v v 1 p v do i = 2, ncell start(i) = start(i-1) + natom(i-1) end do 1. Because of the dependency, the do loop should not be vectorized (SIMD must not be applied). 2. However, the compiler did auto vectorization and there is a high possibility of wrong results. 3. For these kinds of codes, please apply no simd directive or no pointer usage. do i = 2, N domain%start_atom(i) = domain%start_atom(i-1) + natom(i-1) end do !ocl nosimd do i = 2, N start(i) = start(i-1) + natom(i-1) end do

Summary • Parallelization: MPI and OpenMP • MPI: Distributed memory parallelization • OpenMP: Shared memory parallelization • Hybrid: both MPI and OpenMMP • Parallelization of MD: mainly by domain decomposition with parallelization of non-bonded interaction • Key issues in parallelization: minimizing communication cost to maximize the parallel efficiency, hardware aware optimization.
