Student Projects

Open Student Projects

Topics change (frequently) with my ongoing work and depend mostly on the interests and experience of the student. It is best to contact me directly if you are interested in a thesis or student project. Nevertheless, here is a (potentially outdated) list of topics:

• Planewave acceleration of Fast Multipole Method (Math-intensive)
• Vectorization and Specialized-FFT Code Generation (mixed HPC & Math & Info)
• Implementation of a low-storage Molecular Dynamics scheme (HPC)
• Flexible Wrappers for MD-Vectorization (HPC)
• Autotuning for Molecular Dynamics (HPC)
• Optimization of Dual-Tree-Traversal-based Fast Multipole Method (Informatics)
• Low-Storage Optimizations for MD (HPC)
• A new Software Design for MD (Software Engineering)
• Mixed Precision MD Calculations (HPC)
• Validation of the Fast Multipole Method
• (?) Internal Degrees of Freedom
• (???) Visual Programming, Android Implementation of MD

To get an idea of further possible topics, have a look at the running and finished projects below, as well as the following links: Molecular Dynamics Simulations, High Performance Computing .

Running Student Projects

• Andrei Costinescu: Optimization of Shared-Memory Performance of ls1-MarDyn on Xeon Phi
• Galin Statev: Error Control for the Fast Multipole Method
• Michael Obersteiner: Parallelisation of the Fast Multipole Method
