We will introduce the audience to two algorithms for modeling systems with complex energy landscapes. Both algorithms have two similar words in their names: “population annealing.” However, these algorithms are fundamentally different from each other. The first is a method based on a temperature annealing procedure using thermalization at a new thermostat temperature (or optimization parameter) value. The second is a sequential traversal of the energy spectrum with the implementation of random configuration selection. What these approaches have in common is that they allow parallel modeling of a large number of copies of the system, i.e., the history of population change. Thus, they are ideal for implementation on clusters and supercomputers with hybrid architecture. We will give a few examples demonstrating their unique properties, realized on supercomputer cHARISMa at HSE University.
