Chelikowski et. al work is very nice and seems to be applicable regard less of the basis. Implementing the algorithm would probably require a significant amount of time. On 5/17/07, Adam Gali [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Siesta developers, is there anybody who is working on the

[SIESTA-L] Matrix diagonalization: an 8x speed-up of the exact DFT-calculation

2007-05-17 Thread Adam Gali
Dear Siesta developers, is there anybody who is working on the implementation of the Chebysev-filtered subpace acceleration to diagonalize the matrices in SIESTA (Phys. Rev. E, vol. 74, 066704 (2006))? Usually, it speeds up the exact DFT-calculations by about 8x making possible to access

Hi Vasilii, Actually, as far as I can see, it is either the fault of scalapack, or bad compilation of the latter. Right now I am running a MD simulation for a molecule using the SingleExcitation feature of siesta, and I have had the opportunity of fall victim of the Cholesky error even in

Hi, It is not a feature, this issue has already been discussed, see the archives (12.01.2007, by Marcos Verissimo Alves): I have just received a reply from Alberto Garcia on the subject. It is indeed a bug, and I will be testing the fix. As soon as I have it tested (by the end of the day I

Hi Marcos, Thanks for your comments! The large cells are needed to eliminate the influence of the electric potential of the neighboring molecules on the hyperpolarizabilities (hpols), which are very sensitive to electric fields. To determine the cell size we compute the hpols against cell size,
