Abstract

The evaluation of pairwise interactions is fundamental for the simulation of most molecular processes. Their efficient computation is therefore crucial for the overall performance of these simulations on modern computer architectures. We show how code for the computation of pairwise interactions on parallel and heterogeneous platforms can be generated from a unified base through partial evaluation of higher-order functions using the AnyDSL framework. We assess the performance of our implementation in a number of test cases on modern CPU and GPU hardware.
