GPU-aware distributed quantum simulation

Anderson Ávila, Adriano Maron, Renata Reiser +2 more

The simulation of algorithms from quantum computing is currently the most affordable solution for development of new applications. Due to the high computational cost of such simulation, solutions towards novel features that increase the performance are always desired. This work proposes an extension for the D-GM's simulation framework, establishing the support for GPU-aware distributed quantum simulation. The project explores the concepts of heterogeneous computing, merging distributed and GPU computing in a single programming environment. Our results comprehend the distributed simulation of systems comprised by Hadamard transformations up to 21 qubits. Detailed analysis and a performance comparison between PyCUDA and JCUDA frameworks for our application are discussed. This work is a significant step towards the ultimate goal of our project, which is the hybrid simulation of quantum algorithms, i.e., exploring multi-core CPUs and GPUs distributed along a cluster, achieving scalability when larger systems are simulated.

Performance Analysis of Quantum Algorithms on Multi-CPU and GPU Quantum Simulators

Ketan More, Raja Singh Yadav

The rapid expansion of quantum computing research has created a growing need for effective and scalable tools to simulate quantum algorithms. In this study, we present a performance analysis of several quantum circuit simulators by using the Deutsch-Jozsa (DJ) and Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT). A gate-based QASM implementation serves as the baseline and is converted to code compatible with each simulator. Our evaluation covers multi-CPU simulators like Qiskit, Qsim-Cirq, and QuEST, as well as their GPU-accelerated variants along with CUDA-Q, for qubit sizes ranging from 21 to 35. By profiling these algorithms, we compare key performance indicators and reveal notable efficiency differences between platforms. In particular, the multi-node version of QuEST shows strong CPU utilization, high speedup, and efficient memory scalability. whereas GPUbased implementations provide clear performance advantages at higher qubit counts. These findings offer practical guidance for choosing simulation platforms according to problem size and available computing resources, thereby supporting more efficient quantum-algorithm workflows.

Accelerating Quantum Chemistry Simulations Using GPU-Optimized Deep Reinforcement Learning Algorithms

Marek Zielinski

A distributed deep reinforcement learning framework based on GPU cluster was constructed to solve the computational problems of large-scale quantum chemistry simulation. The framework includes technologies such as parallel strategy optimization, asynchronous gradient update, and dynamic scheduling tasks. Efficient communication algorithms are adopted to maximize the utilization of hardware resources and achieve scaling. Experimental evaluation of representative quantum chemistry problems was performed on a multi-node GPU platform. The results show that the average GPU utilization rate exceeds 92% due to the near-linear scale expansion to 128 GPUs. This improves the simulation throughput and efficiency. The system has good performance and convergence behavior for a variety of workloads. The results show that these GPUs, matched with advanced improved distributed DRL models, can break thru the traditional bottleneck of using supercomputers to solve complex physical and chemical problems, so as to complete all these dazzling and complex molecules faster and better.
