Efficient parallelization of molecular dynamics simulations with short-ranged forces
No full textPublished under license in Journal of Physics: Conference Series.Recently, an alternative strategy for the parallelization of molecular dynamics simulations with short-ranged forces has been proposed. In this work, this algorithm is tested on a variety of multi-core systems using three types of benchmark simulations. The results show that the new algorithm gives consistent speedups which are depending on the properties of the simulated system either comparable or superior to those obtained with spatial decomposition. Comparisons of the parallel speedup on different systems indicates that on multi-core machines the parallel efficiency of the method is mainly limited by memory access speed.Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) [grant number 371446-11], Laurentian Universit
Aboriginal Social Work: Incorporating Aboriginal worldviews in social work field practice
No full textThis paper discusses the development and positioning of a Native social work program, and why it was established within a mainstream University institute. It will focus on the discourse associated with Aboriginal social work worldviews and the positioning of curricula established by Aboriginal communities to adapt to mainstream academia. This paper will also show how Aboriginal Teachings are utilized as “theory to practice” models and provide examples and insights into how students are incorporating Aboriginal worldviews in their field placement
