This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Graph-based electronic structure theory offers a scalable approach to study large, complex atomistic systems using distributed and hybrid computational platforms. We demonstrate the coupling of graph-based linear scaling electronic structure theory, as implemented in the Scalable Ecosystem, Driver, and Analyzer for Complex Chemistry Simulations (SEDACS), with semiempirical quantum chemistry methods as implemented in the PySEQM code, with Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) acceleration. This powerful combination enables efficient, scalable electronic structure calculations over many nodes, significantly reducing computational cost while naturally harnessing parallelism. Detailed analyses of parallelization efficiency, computational accuracy, and communication overheads are provided, highlighting an order-of-magnitude speedup for systems of up to 10,000 atoms.
