Abstract

Material irradiation effect plays an important role in material science. However, it is lack of high-throughput irradiation facility and process of evolution and development, which lead to lack of basic scientific theory about atomic scale materials design and development guidance. High-performance computing for simulation makes deeply understanding of micro-level-material possible. In this paper, a new data structure is proposed for the parallel simulation of metal materials evolution with crystal structure under irradiation defects. Compared with LAMMPS and IMD, which are two popular molecular dynamic simulation versions, our method takes much less memory on multi-core clusters.
