An overview of the recently developed capabilities of the DFTB+ code is given, demonstrating with a few use case examples, and the strengths and weaknesses of the various features are discussed, to discuss on-going developments and possible future perspectives.
SIESTA‐SIPs: Massively parallel spectrum‐slicing eigensolver for an ab initio molecular dynamics package
TLDR
Integration of Shift‐and‐Invert Parallel Spectral Transformation (SIPs) eigensolver into an ab initio molecular dynamics package, SIESTA, and a method that improves the load‐balance with each iteration in the self‐consistency cycle by exploiting the emerging knowledge of the eigenvalue spectrum is demonstrated.
Performance Analysis of Electronic Structure Codes on HPC Systems: A Case Study of SIESTA
TLDR
A systematic strategy for simultaneously testing weak and strong scaling, and a measure which is independent of the range of number of cores on which the tests are performed to quantify strong scaling efficiency as a function of simulation size are proposed.
Orbital minimization method with ℓ1 regularization
Preconditioning Orbital Minimization Method for Planewave Discretization
TLDR
Numerical results validate the performance of the new preconditioner for the orbital minimization method, in particular, the iteration number is reduced to $\mathcal{O}(1)$ and often only a few iterations are enough for convergence.
