UberCloud Team 199 led by **Scott W. ****Sides**, Senior Scientist at **Tech-X Research **in Boulder, studied adhesion dynamics for surface-tethered chains entangled in a polymer melt, using the molecular dynamics package **LAMMPS **which is widely used in academia and some industries.

 

LAMMPS has potentials for solid-state materials (metals, semiconductors) and soft matter (biomolecules, polymers) and coarse-grained or mesoscopic systems. It can be used to model atoms or, more generically, as a parallel particle simulator at the atomic, meso, or continuum scale.

 

 

In a first step of this cloud experiment the LAMMPS code has been ‘containerized’, and then the simulations have been performed on up to eight 16-core high-performance computing nodes and scalability studied in the Amazon AWS Cloud. You can download this case study in full below:
