Jan Nguyen: Shared-Memory Parallelization of Verlet Lists

This is a Bachelor's thesis submission talk advised by Steffen Seckler.

This thesis deals with different algorithms for molecular dynamics simulations. We focus on variants of the Verlet lists. The presented algorithms are implemented in the C++ library AutoPas. For acceleration, the library uses shared-memory parallelization. We ran performance tests of the various implemented methods on the CoolMUC-2 system of the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre. From which we learned that performance, unfortunately, does not grow linearly with the number of threads used. How well we can scale depends on various factors and the algorithm used.
