  • To be announced, Jeremy Weisman (LCT & LJLL), Acceleration of molecular dynamics methods using velocity jump processes. Abstract: In the context of molecular dynamics simulations and the increasingly expensive calculations, new integrators and algorithms are constantly being developed in order to improve performances. Following the implementation of a multi time –step algorithm in the Tinker-HP software (separation of high frequency forces calculated at each time-step and lower frequency forces calculated every n time-steps), we discuss the implementation of a new algorithm using velocity jump processes. The idea is to no longer calculate the lower frequency forces with a fixed time-step, but to calculate them with a certain probability at each time-step. This probability is chosen specifically to remove the systematic bias caused by fixing the time-step in multi time-step algorithms. We will discuss the theory behind this new method, the implementation of the algorithm inside Tinker-HP and analyze the results and further possibilities.
