To tackle the time scales required to study complex chemical reactions, methods performing accelerated molecular dynamics are necessary even with the recent advancement in high-performance computing. A number of different acceleration techniques are available. Here we explore potential synergies between two popular acceleration methods – Parallel Replica Dynamics (PRD) and Collective Variable Hyperdynamics (CVHD), by analysing the speedup obtained for the pyrolysis of n-dodecane. We observe that PRD + CVHD provides additional speedup to CVHD by reaching the required time scales for the reaction at an earlier wall-clock time. Although some speedup is obtained with the additional replicas, we found that the effectiveness of the inclusion of PRD is depreciated for systems where there is a dramatic increase in reaction rates induced by CVHD. Similar observations were made in the simulation of ethylene-carbonate/Li system, which is inherently more reactive than pyrolysis, indicate that the speedup obtained via the combination of the two acceleration methods can be generalised to most practical chemical systems.more » « less

Lacarbonara, Walter (Ed.)This work proposes a computational approach that has its roots in the early ideas of local Lyapunov exponents, yet, it offers new perspectives toward analyzing these problems. The method of interest, namely abstract dynamics, is an indirect quantitative measure of the variations of the governing vector fields based on the principles of linear systems. The examples in this work, ranging from simple limit cycles to chaotic attractors, are indicative of the new interpretation that this new perspective can offer. The presented results can be exploited in the structure of algorithms (most prominently machine learning algorithms) that are designed to estimate the complex behavior of nonlinear systems, even chaotic attractors, within their horizon of predictability.more » « less
