요약Over the course of the past few decades, quantum mechanical calculations based on Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) have become a cornerstone of materials research by virtue of the predictive power and fundamental insights they provide. However, while less expensive than wavefunction based methods, the solution of the Kohn-Sham equations remains a formidable task. In particular, the computational cost scales cubically with the number of atoms, severely limiting the range of physical systems accessible to such first principles investigation. The planewave pseudopotential method has been among the most widely used techniques for solving the Kohn-Sham problem. The underlying Fourier basis is complete, orthonormal, diagonalizes the Laplacian, and provides spectral convergence for smooth problems. However, the Fourier basis restricts the method to periodic boundary conditions, whereby finite systems as well as semi-infinite systems require the introduction of artificial periodicity with large vacuum regions. Moreover, the global nature of the Fourier basis hampers scalability on parallel computing platforms, limiting the system sizes and time scales relevant to phenomena of interest.We develop SPARC: Simulation Package for Ab-initio Real-space Calculations. SPARC can perform Kohn-Sham density functional theory calculations for isolated systems such as molecules as well as extended systems such as crystals and surfaces, in both static and dynamic settings. It is straightforward to install/use and highly competitive with stateof-the-art planewave codes, demonstrating comparable performance on a small number of processors and increasing advantages as the number of processors grows. Notably, SPARC brings solution times down to a few seconds for systems with O(100−500) atoms on largescale parallel computers, outperforming planewave counterparts by an order of magnitude and more.We have developed a discrete discontinuous basis projection (DDBP) method to accelerate real-space electronic structure methods several fold, without loss of accuracy, by systematically reducing the dimension of the discrete eigenproblem that must be solved, via projection in a highly efficient discontinuous basis. In calculations of quasi-1D, quasi-2D, and bulk metallic systems, we find that accurate energies and forces are obtained with 8-25 projection basis functions per atom, reducing the dimension of full-matrix eigenproblems by 1-3 orders of magnitude. Next, we designed an efficient parallelization strategy for the DDBP method and implemented the method within the SPARC code in parallel. Our results on a range of different systems with different numbers of atoms show that the DDBP method can consistently outperform the SPARC code for systems with O(100) atoms or more.We next present the SQ3 method, a density matrix based method for Kohn-Sham calculations at high temperature that eliminates the need for diagonalization, thus reducing the cost of such calculations significantly relative to conventional diagonalization based approaches. Upon implementation of the method in the SPARC code, we found systematic convergence to exact diagonalization results and significant speedups relative to conventional diagonalization based methods of up to ∼ 2x, with increasing advantages as the temperature and/or number of processors is increased.For low temperature Kohn-Sham calculations, we implement the complementary subspace (CS) method in the SPARC code, which reduces the number of eigenvalues/eigenvectors of the subspace Hamiltonian that needs to be evaluated at low temperature, thus reducing the cost of such calculations significantly relative to conventional diagonalization based approaches. We derive real-space formulation for the electron density, electronic free energy, and Hellmann-Feynman forces in terms of an orthonormal auxiliary orbital basis and the partially occupied Kohn-Sham orbitals, without any explicit dependence on the density matrix. Upon implementation of the method in the SPARC code, we showed that the CS method can reduce the cost of the subspace diagonalization significantly.
