  3. I.1 Single-molecule dynamic force spectroscopy of forced unfolding of proteins: biological relevance Fact 1:“mechanically active” proteins perform their biological function in linear tandems of “head-to-tail” (C-terminal-to-N-terminal) connected protein domains • Examples: • Titin contains tandems of immunoglobulin (Ig) domains, separated by short linkers sequences (muscle function) • Actin-crosslinking filamins contain rod-like tandem of ddFLN domains (cellular locomotion) • Fibronectin tandems consist of nonidentical Fn domains (extracellular matrix, cell elasticity) • Ubiquitin is a multimeric protein (Ub)n of n=9 identical Ub repeats (protein degradation, signaling pathways)

  9. II.1 Molecular simulations of proteins: levels of structure of proteins • Amino acids in proteins (or polypeptides) are joined together by peptide bonds. • The sequence of R-groups along the chain is called the primary structure. • Secondary structure refers to the local folding of the polypeptide chain. • Tertiary structure is the arrangement of secondary structure elements in 3D • Quaternary structure describes the arrangement of a protein's subunits. The PDB is the single worldwide repository of 3D structure data of proteins and nucleic acids: ~35,000 structures as of August 2005. (www.rcsb.org/pdb) Other Web Resources: 1. NCBI 2.

  23. III.1Computer simulations using graphics cards: basic facts • CPU: • Advantages: • can perform very sophisticated flow control (IF/THEN – cycles, conditionals, etc.) • single CPU cores are faster (3.0GHz) or faster • a lot of well-tested (commercial) software is available • Disadvantages: • has no more than 6 cores (today) • parallel programming on CPU is difficult • data exchange b/w nodes in a cluster occurs through relatively slow network • GPU: • Advantages: • up to 240 cores (GeForce 280, Tesla C1060) • easy to write parallel codes with CUDA language (extension of C) • memory bandwidth is high because all cores are local • Disadvantages: • single core clock is not as fast as CPU core (0.5GHz) • can’t be used for applications with sophisticated flow control • not many software available for GPU (started in ~2006)

  24. III.2Computer simulations using graphics cards: hardware • GPU: • highly parallel • multythreaded • manycore processor • Historically,GPU • was designed for compute-intensive, highly parallel computation • more transistors are devoted to data processing rather than data caching and flow control • well-suited for problems that involve data-parallel computations, i.e. the same program is executed on many data elements in parallel (MD, coarse-grained simulations).

  25. III.3Computer simulations using graphics cards: programming mode • CUDA: • consist of a minimal extension to the C language • parallel programming model and software environment • designed to overcome the challenge of creating software that transparently scales on manycore processors • Example: • vecAdd() function is called N times on GPU. • <<<1, N>>> means that the procedure runs in one 1D block with N threads. • i = threadIdx.x is a way for thread to identify, which element of the vector it should work with.

  26. III.4Computer simulations using graphics cards: software organization Thread hierarchy: • thread index is a 3D vector, so that threads can be identified using a 1D, 2D or 3D index forming 1D, 2D or 3D thread block • 2. multiple blocks can be organized into 1D or 2D grid. Each block can be identified within grid using 1D, 2D or 3D block index • 3. all threads in one block are doing the same thing with different data • 4. threads can synchronize and pass data to each other within block using shared memory • 5. threads can pass the data to the CPU through the GPU global memory

  27. III.5Computer simulations using graphics cards: software organization Memory hierarchy: • each thread has it own local memory (in cache) for storing temporary variables • each block has shared memory (in cache) for synchronizing the threads within block • device has global memory that can be accessed from any thread on the GPU • local memory and shared memory are much faster than global, but they are available only locally and exists only during the lifetime of a thread or a block. • 5. global memory is relatively slow, and can be also accessed from CPU.

  28. III.6Computer simulations using graphics cards: hardware model Hardware organization: • each device have Nmultiprocessors • multiprocessors can share data only through device (global) memory • A multiprocessor have M processors (ALUs) • 4. number of threads that can run at the same time is equal to NxM; for GeForce 8800GT, M=8, N=14 (number of processors = 112!!!) • 5. one block can run only on one multiprocessor so the number of blocks in program should be at least equal to the number of multiproces-sors on the device.

  29. III.7Computer simulations using graphics cards: applications • MD and CG simulations are suitable for GPU: • same potential (force field) for all atoms • (beads) • integration scheme is explicit • systems have huge number of atoms (beads) • Example: • Rouse chain model of homopolymer • Lennard-Jones potential (self-avoidance) • 1,000,000 time steps for each chain • Intel Xeon 2GHz Dual Core (CPU, ~$350) vs GeForce 8800 GT (GPU, ~$130)
