Research assistantship available for a student at the University of Maryland with an interest in gpu computing and linear algebra to assist in porting to a gpu environment algorithms for the numerical quantum simulation of reactions of small atoms and molecules. The use of gpu-computing is currently a frontier area in theoretical chemistry. The project will involve the development of (a) interfaces existing fortran codes and cuda-based gpu libraries, (b) Openmp-based codes for the efficient parallel use of both gpu and cpu resources, and (c) novel large-matrix eigensolvers for gpu’s.
