Towards Highly Accurate Large-Scale Ab Initio Calculations Using Fragment Molecular Orbital Method in GAMESS

SESSION: Research Poster Reception

EVENT TYPE: Posters and Electronic Posters

TIME: 5:15PM - 7:00PM

SESSION CHAIR: Torsten Hoefler

AUTHOR(S):Maricris L. Mayes, Graham D. Fletcher, Mark S. Gordon

ROOM:East Entrance

ABSTRACT:
One of the major challenges of modern quantum chemistry (QC) is to apply it to large systems with thousands of correlated electrons and basis functions. The availability of supercomputers and development of novel methods are necessary to realize this challenge. In particular, we employ linear scaling Fragment Molecular Orbital (FMO) method which decompose the large system into smaller, localized fragments which can be treated with high-level QC method like MP2. FMO is inherently scalable since the individual fragment calculations can be carried out simultaneously on separate processor groups. It is implemented in GAMESS, a popular ab-initio QC program. We present the scalability and performance of FMO on Intrepid (Blue Gene/P) and Blue Gene/Q systems at Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. We also describe our work on multithreading the integral kernels in GAMESS to effectively use the enormous number of cores and threads of new generation supercomputers.
