39 /*! \libinternal \defgroup __module_nb_verlet Short-range non-bonded interaction module
40 * \ingroup group_mdrun
42 * \brief Computes forces and energies for short-range pair-interactions
43 * based on the Verlet algorithm. The algorithm uses pair-lists generated
44 * at fixed intervals as well as various flavors of pair interaction kernels
45 * implemented for a wide range of CPU and GPU architectures.
47 * The module includes support for flavors of Coulomb and Lennard-Jones interaction
48 * treatment implemented for a large range of SIMD instruction sets for CPU
49 * architectures as well as in CUDA and OpenCL for GPU architectures.
50 * Additionally there is a reference CPU non-SIMD and a reference CPU
51 * for GPU pair-list setup interaction kernel.
53 * The implementation of the kernels is based on the cluster non-bonded algorithm
54 * which in the code is referred to as the NxN algorithms ("nbnxn_" prefix);
55 * for details of the algorithm see DOI:10.1016/j.cpc.2013.06.003.
57 * Algorithmically, the non-bonded computation has two different modes:
58 * A "classical" mode: generate a list every nstlist steps containing at least
59 * all atom pairs up to a distance of rlistOuter and compute pair interactions
60 * for all pairs that are within the interaction cut-off.
61 * A "dynamic pruning" mode: generate an "outer-list" up to cut-off rlistOuter
62 * every nstlist steps and prune the outer-list using a cut-off of rlistInner
63 * every nstlistPrune steps to obtain a, smaller, "inner-list". This
64 * results in fewer interaction computations and allows for a larger nstlist.
65 * On a GPU, this dynamic pruning is performed in a rolling fashion, pruning
66 * only a sub-part of the list each (second) step. This way it can often
67 * overlap with integration and constraints on the CPU.
68 * Currently a simple heuristic determines which mode will be used.
70 * TODO: add a summary list and brief descriptions of the different submodules:
71 * search, CPU kernels, GPU glue code + kernels.
