Among other things, the results show SIESTA > to be quite capable of taking advantage of many thousands of cores, with a > level of parallel efficiency comparable to that of several popular > plane-wave codes. The paper is available here: > http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0095390 > > I hope some of you will find the app useful for planning large-scale > SIESTA projects. I welcome any comments and questions you might have. > > Kind regards, > > Fabiano Corsetti > CIC nanoGUNE > -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
