Parallel pseudospectral electronic structure: II. Localized M�ller-Plesset calculations

We have developed a parallel version of our pseudospectral localized Møller–Plesset electronic structure code. We present timings for molecules up to 1010 basis functions and parallel speedup for molecules in the range of 260–658 basis functions. We demonstrate that the code is scalable; that is, a larger number of nodes can be efficiently utilized as the size of the molecule increases. By taking advantage of the available distributed memory and disk space of a scalable parallel computer, the parallel code can calculate LMP2 energies of molecules too large to be done on workstations.
