MGOS: A library for molecular geometry and its operating system
The geometry of atomic arrangement underpins the structural understanding of molecules in many fields. However, no general framework of mathematical/computational theory for the geometry of atomic arrangement exists. Here we present "Molecular Geometry (MG)'' as a theoretical framework accompanied by "MG Operating System (MGOS)'' which consists of callable functions implementing the MG theory. MG allows researchers to model complicated molecular structure problems in terms of elementary yet standard notions of volume, area, etc. and MGOS frees them from the hard and tedious task of developing/implementing geometric algorithms so that they can focus more on their primary research issues. MG facilitates simpler modeling of molecular structure problems; MGOS functions can be conveniently embedded in application programs for the efficient and accurate solution of geometric queries involving atomic arrangements. The use of MGOS in problems involving spherical entities is akin to the use of math libraries in general purpose programming languages in science and engineering. (C) 2019 The Author(s).

opendf - an implementation of the dual fermion method for strongly correlated systems
The dual fermion method is a multiscale approach for solving lattice problems
of interacting strongly correlated systems. In this paper, we present the
\texttt{opendf} code, an open-source implementation of the dual fermion method
applicable to fermionic single-orbital lattice models in dimensions
and . The method is built on a dynamical mean field starting point, which
neglects all local correlations, and perturbatively adds spatial correlations.
Our code is distributed as an open-source package under the GNU public license

Four Decades of Computing in Subnuclear Physics - from Bubble Chamber to LHC
This manuscript addresses selected aspects of computing for the
reconstruction and simulation of particle interactions in subnuclear physics.
Based on personal experience with experiments at DESY and at CERN, I cover the
evolution of computing hardware and software from the era of track chambers
where interactions were recorded on photographic film up to the LHC experiments
with their multi-million electronic channels

Experiences in porting mini-applications to OpenACC and OpenMP on heterogeneous systems
This article studies mini-applications—Minisweep, GenASiS, GPP, and FF—that use computational methods commonly encountered in HPC. We have ported these applications to develop OpenACC and OpenMP versions, and evaluated their performance on Titan (Cray XK7 with K20x GPUs), Cori (Cray XC40 with Intel KNL), Summit (IBM AC922 with Volta GPUs), and Cori-GPU (Cray CS-Storm 500NX with Intel Skylake and Volta GPUs). Our goals are for these new ports to be useful to both application and compiler developers, to document and describe the lessons learned and the methodology to create optimized OpenMP and OpenACC versions, and to provide a description of possible migration paths between the two specifications. Cases where specific directives or code patterns result in improved performance for a given architecture are highlighted. We also include discussions of the functionality and maturity of the latest compilers available on the above platforms with respect to OpenACC or OpenMP implementations
