Abstract:

The parallel performance of the NWChem version 1.2ff parallel direct-SCF code has been characterized on five massively parallel supercomputers (IBM SP, Kendall Square KSR-2, Cray T3D and T3E, and Intel Touchstone Delta) using single-point energy calculations on seven molecules of varying size (up to 389 atoms) and composition (first-row atoms, halogens, and transition metals). We compare the performance using both replicated-data and distributed-data algorithms and the original McMurchie-Davidson and recently incorporated TEXAS integrals packages. 1
