Development and testing of efficient off-loading strategies for many-body electronic structure methods: implementations of efficient decomposition techniques for two-electron integrals


EMSL Project ID
50086

Abstract

We propose to modernize the NWChem suite of computational chemistry codes towards effective utilization of the emergent hybrid parallel computer systems based on the Intel Many Integrated Core Architecture (Intel MIC) technology. The proposed research presents a unique opportunity to make major breakthroughs in performance enhancements of several key implementations of many-body techniques which are indispensable for a comprehensive understanding of complex chemical transformations. Modernized codes will be applicable to several BER relevant science drivers like studies of active sites in proteins, simulations of respiration and electron transport effects in biological systems, or photo-degradation reactions of soil organics and will be able to take full advantage of EMSL Intel MIC based CASCADE parallel systems.
