Tensor Hypercontraction of Cluster Perturbation Theory: Quartic Scaling Perturbation Series for the Coupled Cluster Singles and Doubles Ground-State Energies

Even though Cluster Perturbation has been shown to be a robust non-iterative alternative to Coupled Cluster Theory, it is still plagued by high order polynomial computational scaling and the storage of higher order tensors. Here we present a proof-of-concept strategy for implementing Cluster Perturbation Theory ground state energy series for the coupled cluster singles and doubles energy with N 4 computational scaling using Tensor Hypercontraction (THC). The reduction in computational scaling by two orders is achieved by decomposing two electron repulsion integrals, doubles amplitudes and multipliers, as well as selected doubles intermediates to Tensor Hypercontraction format. Using the outlined strategy, we showcase that the Tensor Hypercontraction pilot implementations retain numerical accuracy to within 1 kcal/mol relative to corresponding conventional and density fitting implementations and we empirically verify the N 4 scaling.

Coupled cluster theory on modern heterogeneous supercomputers

This study examines the computational challenges in elucidating intricate chemical systems, particularly through ab-initio methodologies. This work highlights the Divide-Expand-Consolidate (DEC) approach for coupled cluster (CC) theory—a linear-scaling, massively parallel framework—as a viable solution. Detailed scrutiny of the DEC framework reveals its extensive applicability for large chemical systems, yet it also acknowledges inherent limitations. To mitigate these constraints, the cluster perturbation theory is presented as an effective remedy. Attention is then directed towards the CPS (D-3) model, explicitly derived from a CC singles parent and a doubles auxiliary excitation space, for computing excitation energies. The reviewed new algorithms for the CPS (D-3) method efficiently capitalize on multiple nodes and graphical processing units, expediting heavy tensor contractions. As a result, CPS (D-3) emerges as a scalable, rapid, and precise solution for computing molecular properties in large molecular systems, marking it an efficient contender to conventional CC models.

Massively parallel GPU enabled third-order cluster perturbation excitation energies for cost-effective large scale excitation energy calculations

We present here a massively parallel implementation of the recently developed CPS(D-3) excitation energy model that is based on cluster perturbation theory. The new algorithm extends the one developed in Baudin et al. [J. Chem. Phys., 150, 134110 (2019)] to leverage multiple nodes and utilize graphical processing units for the acceleration of heavy tensor contractions. Furthermore, we show that the extended algorithm scales efficiently with increasing amounts of computational resources and that the developed code enables CPS(D-3) excitation energy calculations on large molecular systems with a low time-to-solution. More specifically, calculations on systems with over 100 atoms and 1000 basis functions are possible in a few hours of wall clock time. This establishes CPS(D-3) excitation energies as a computationally efficient alternative to those obtained from the coupled-cluster singles and doubles model.
