Towards large scale hybrid QM/MM dynamics of complex systems with advanced point dipole polarizable embeddings.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we present a general route to hybrid Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) Molecular Dynamics for complex systems using a polarizable embedding. We extend the capabilities of our hybrid framework, combining the Gaussian and Tinker/Tinker-HP packages in the context of the AMOEBA polarizable force field to treat large (bio)systems where the QM and the MM subsystems are covalently bound, adopting pseudopotentials at the boundaries between the two regions. We discuss in detail the implementation and demonstrate the global energy conservation of our QM/MM Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics approach using Density Functional Theory. Finally, the approach is assessed on the electronic absorption properties of a 16?500 atom complex encompassing an organic dye embedded in a DNA matrix in solution, extending the hybrid method to a time-dependent Density Functional Theory approach. The results obtained comparing different partitions between the quantum and the classical subsystems also suggest that large QM portions are not necessary if accurate polarizable force fields are used in a variational formulation of the embedding, properly including the QM/MM mutual polarization.

Project description:We present Tinker-HP, a massively MPI parallel package dedicated to classical molecular dynamics (MD) and to multiscale simulations, using advanced polarizable force fields (PFF) encompassing distributed multipoles electrostatics. Tinker-HP is an evolution of the popular Tinker package code that conserves its simplicity of use and its reference double precision implementation for CPUs. Grounded on interdisciplinary efforts with applied mathematics, Tinker-HP allows for long polarizable MD simulations on large systems up to millions of atoms. We detail in the paper the newly developed extension of massively parallel 3D spatial decomposition to point dipole polarizable models as well as their coupling to efficient Krylov iterative and non-iterative polarization solvers. The design of the code allows the use of various computer systems ranging from laboratory workstations to modern petascale supercomputers with thousands of cores. Tinker-HP proposes therefore the first high-performance scalable CPU computing environment for the development of next generation point dipole PFFs and for production simulations. Strategies linking Tinker-HP to Quantum Mechanics (QM) in the framework of multiscale polarizable self-consistent QM/MD simulations are also provided. The possibilities, performances and scalability of the software are demonstrated via benchmarks calculations using the polarizable AMOEBA force field on systems ranging from large water boxes of increasing size and ionic liquids to (very) large biosystems encompassing several proteins as well as the complete satellite tobacco mosaic virus and ribosome structures. For small systems, Tinker-HP appears to be competitive with the Tinker-OpenMM GPU implementation of Tinker. As the system size grows, Tinker-HP remains operational thanks to its access to distributed memory and takes advantage of its new algorithmic enabling for stable long timescale polarizable simulations. Overall, a several thousand-fold acceleration over a single-core computation is observed for the largest systems. The extension of the present CPU implementation of Tinker-HP to other computational platforms is discussed.
