Ultra-calculate "Beijing" molecular simulation to help Sumitomo rubber new product development

Sumitomo Rubber Industry has been using the world's top computing power, http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13840.html > supercomputer since March 2013, A large scale molecular simulation calculation was carried out for tire rubber which was difficult to reproduce before. The study will reproduce and analyse the interior of the rubber at the molecular level, and the Sumitomo Rubber industry will use the simulation results to develop new tyre materials and apply it to commodities beyond 2016.

Sumitomo Rubber Industry has been promoting tire rubber materials development, and at the end of 2011 published tire New Materials Development Technology "4D NANO design." It is estimated that the future diversification and high end of tire performance will continue to accelerate, which requires further speed of material development. In the development of materials, it is important to predict the low burnup and wear properties of rubber molecule and nanometer structure and tire rubber, and then to design the material, but the previous supercomputer cannot complete the design because of insufficient computational ability.

Sumitomo Rubber Industry in order to reproduce and analyze the internal structure of tire rubber with molecular nanometer level, a large molecular simulation program using "Beijing" was developed. This can achieve the past hundreds of times times the size of the operation, in theory, to achieve the real internal rubber material simulation.
