متن کاملA variational method for density functional theory calculations on metallic systems with thousands of atoms.
A new method for finite-temperature density functional theory calculations which significantly increases the number of atoms that can be simulated in metallic systems is presented. A self-consistent, direct minimization technique is used to obtain the Helmholtz free energy of the electronic system, described in terms of a set of non-orthogonal, localized functions which are optimized in situ us...
متن کاملDGDFT: A massively parallel method for large scale density functional theory calculations.
We describe a massively parallel implementation of the recently developed discontinuous Galerkin density functional theory (DGDFT) method, for efficient large-scale Kohn-Sham DFT based electronic structure calculations. The DGDFT method uses adaptive local basis (ALB) functions generated on-the-fly during the self-consistent field iteration to represent the solution to the Kohn-Sham equations. ...
متن کاملLinear-scaling density-functional theory with tens of thousands of atoms: Expanding the scope and scale of calculations with ONETEP
ONETEP is an ab initio electronic structure package for total energy calculations within density-functional theory. It combines ‘linear scaling’, in that the total computational effort scales only linearly with system size, with ‘plane-wave’ accuracy, in that the convergence of the total energy is systematically improvable in the manner typical of conventional plane-wave pseudopotential methods...
متن کاملMassively Parallel Density Functional Theory Calculations of Large Transition Metal Clusters
We report on ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations of structural properties of large elementary transition metal clusters with up to 561 atoms, corresponding to a diameter of about 2.5 nm, which is a relevant size for practical applications. The calculations were carried out on an IBM Blue Gene/L supercomputer, showing that reasonable scaling up to 1024 processors and beyond ca...
