Parallel Computing for Polymer Science !!
CAMD researchers Prof. Christopher Barner-Kowollik and PhD student Hugh Chaffey-Millar in collaboration with Drs. Gabriele Keller and Manuel Chakravarty of the School of Computer Science at UNSW have pioneered a powerful and novel parallel version of Monte-Carlo simulations for the prediction of complex polymerization kinetics.


The program code - using latest functional programming techniques - spreads the computation over several computing nodes and achieves extremely high computational speeds while concomitantly providing in-depth information about the microstructure of the generated polymers.
