This paper presents a joint application/architecture study to accelerate MD on an emerging unconventional computing platform-Godson-T many-core architecture. We propose three incremental optimizations: (1) a divide-and-conquer algorithm adaptive to on-chip memory; (2) a novel data-layout to re-organize linked-list cell data structures to improve data locality; (3) an on-chip locality-aware parallel algorithm to enhance data reuse. Experiments on an event-driven, cycle-accurate Godson-T simulator achieve excellent speedup of 62 on 64 cores.}, identifier = {05941160}, }
