Large scale quantum chemistry with Tensor Processing Units (2202.01255v3)
Published 2 Feb 2022 in physics.comp-ph and physics.chem-ph
Abstract: We demonstrate the use of Google's cloud-based Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) to accelerate and scale up conventional (cubic-scaling) density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Utilizing 512 TPU cores, we accomplish the largest such DFT computation to date, with 247848 orbitals, corresponding to a cluster of 10327 water molecules with 103270 electrons, all treated explicitly. Our work thus paves the way towards accessible and systematic use of conventional DFT, free of any system-specific constraints, at unprecedented scales.
