Parallel self-consistent-field calculations via Chebyshev-filtered subspace acceleration.
Solving the Kohn-Sham eigenvalue problem constitutes the most computationally expensive part in self-consistent density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In a previous paper, we have proposed a nonlinear Chebyshev-filtered subspace iteration method, which avoids computing explicit eigenvectors except at the first self-consistent-field (SCF) iteration. The method may be viewed as an approach...
متن کاملCommunication: Linear-expansion shooting techniques for accelerating self-consistent field convergence.
Based on the corrected Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham total energy density functional [Y. A. Zhang and Y. A. Wang, J. Chem. Phys. 130, 144116 (2009)], we have developed two linear-expansion shooting techniques (LIST)- direct LIST (LISTd) and indirect LIST (LISTi), to accelerate the convergence of self-consistent field (SCF) calculations. Case studies show that overall LISTi is the most robust and efficien...
متن کاملSelf-consistent field convergence for proteins: a comparison of full and localized-molecular-orbital schemes.
Proteins in the gas phase present an extreme (and unrealistic) challenge for self-consistent-field iteration schemes because their ionized groups are very strong electron donors or acceptors, depending on their formal charge. This means that gas-phase proteins have a very small band gap but that their frontier orbitals are localized compared to "normal" conjugated semiconductors. The frontier o...
متن کاملOn Convergence Acceleration Techniques for Unstructured Meshes
A discussion of convergence acceleration techniques as they relate to computational fluid dynamics problems on unstructured meshes is given. Rather than providing a detailed description of particular methods, the various different building blocks of current solution techniques are discussed and examples of solution strategies using one or several of these ideas are given. Issues relating to uns...
متن کاملConvergence Acceleration Scheme for Self-consistent Orthogonal-basis-set Electronic Structure Methods
A new self-consistent convergence acceleration scheme that is a variant of the Newton–Raphson algorithm for non-linear systems of equations is presented. With this scheme, which is designed for use with minimal orthogonal basis set electronic structure methods, the conventional Newton–Raphson scaling with respect to the number of atoms is enhanced from quartic to cubic. The scheme is demonstrat...
