Abstract

We present the new approach to utilize all heterogeneous resources like CPU cluster, GPU cluster in multi core and multi GPU environment. MD simulation are used for deeper understating of fluid flows, chemical reaction, and other phenomena due to molecular interaction. The main drawback in the MD simulation is that it require computationally demanding more resource because of its amount of O(n2). The use of heterogeneous resources is an attractive solution and has been applied to MD problems. However, such heterogeneous resources cause load imbalances between CPUs and GPUs and they were not utilize all available computation resources.
