Accelerating Full Configuration Interaction Calculations for Nuclear Structure∗

چکیده
One of the emerging computational approaches in nuclear physics is the full configuration interaction (FCI) method for solving the many-body nuclear Hamiltonian in a sufficiently large single-particle basis space to obtain exact answers either directly or by extrapolation. The lowest eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors for very large, sparse and unstructured nuclear Hamiltonian matrices are obtained and used to evaluate additional experimental quantities. These matrices pose a significant challenge to the design and implementation of efficient and scalable algorithms for obtaining solutions on massively parallel computer systems. In this paper, we describe the computational strategies employed in a state-of-the-art FCI code MFDn (Many Fermion Dynamics nuclear) as well as techniques we recently developed to enhance the computational efficiency of MFDn. We will demonstrate the current capability of MFDn and report the latest performance improvement we have achieved. We will also outline our future research directions.

Accelerating Nuclear Configuration Interaction Calculations through a Preconditioned Block Iterative Eigensolver
We describe a number of recently developed techniques for improving the performance of large-scale nuclear configuration interaction calculations on high performance parallel computers. We show the benefit of using a preconditioned block iterative method to replace the Lanczos algorithm that has traditionally been used to perform this type of computation. The rapid convergence of the block iter...

We have investigated the electronic structure of Ru1-xCrxCaO3 using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the local spin density approximation. We have obtained the spin magnetic moment centered at Ru sites from LSDA calculation. The Ru magnetic moment is consistent with the experimental estimates and is lower than the t32g↑t12g↓ electronic configuration. Cr decreas...

Hydrostatic pressure applied up to 6 GPa by varying the volume of the unit cell with constant a:b:c ratio. Optimization of internal parameters showed that there exists s...

The structure and stability of the O:+ dication: a dramatic failure of Marller-Plesset perturbation theory
By comparison with results of full configuration-interaction and large-scale multireference configuration-interaction calculations, it is shown that the widely used RMP2 and RMP4 methods fail to describe even qualitatively the structure and kinetic stability of theO:+ dication, an isoelectronic analogue of molecular nitrogen. A barrier todissociation of more than 200 kJ mol-’ completely disappe...
