IRG-C: Self-assembly of ionic surfactants accelerated by graphics processing units (GPUs) (DMR-0819860)D. N. LeBard, B. G. Levine, A. Jusufi, M. L. Klein (Temple), P. Mertmann, S. A. Barr, S. Sanders, and A. Z. Panagiotopoulos (Princeton) Performance for simulations of sodium nonyl and dodecyl sulfates. Fermi cards provide the equivalent of 36-48 CPU cores per card, at a fraction of the cost. Ionic micellar assemblies have been simulated over μs time scales on GPUs (image on cover of Soft Matter).
