摘要
This paper presents general information about ARUZ, a scalable, fully parallel data processing system equipped with low-latency communication channels, designed for simulations of interactions among huge number of relatively simple elements. ARUZ consists of approximately 26 000 FPGAs and it can represent a system composed of several million elements consuming barely tens of kilowatts of power. It can be seen as a powerful machine for a wide range of applications. Currently, it implements the Dynamic Lattice Liquid algorithm, which enables studies of dynamic processes and phenomena in dense macromolecular systems. A performance estimation for liquid water shows that in one day ARUZ can model the diffusion of 1.5 million water molecules ongoing in reality for approximately 0.7 ms. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
