Centre for Molecular Simulation |
Molecular Dynamics Software Development
Supervisor:Dr Jesper Hansen and Prof Billy Todd
Suitable year level:3rd-5th year
Project Description
An important part of our research is based on computer simulations of molecules
and atoms. We seek a student to extent and/or optimise our software
package. There are many possibilities depending on the student's interests:
General optimisation, parallelisation of parts of the code, extending the
functionality, making flexible "stand alone" programs etc.
A part of the project will likely include using simple GNU software
development tools under Linux. We will also welcome any ideas that the student
may have.
Expectations/Assessment
The student will be taught how to analyse and profile
more complex computer software packages; very relevant training for future
programmers. Linux at the user level will be acquired as a natural part of the project.
The project will finish with a student report describing the improvements.
Pre-requisite Knowledge
Good working knowledge of C is essential.
