Abstract:Recent advance in high performance computing (HPC) resources has opened the possibility to expand the scope of density functional theory (DFT) simulations toward large and complex molecular systems. This work proposes a numerically robust method that enables scalable diagonalizations of large DFT Hamiltonian matrices, particularly with thousands of computing CPUs (cores) that are usual these days in terms of sizes of HPC resources. The well-known Lanczos method is extensively refactorized to overcome its weakn… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
