Multicomponent Cholesky Decomposition: Application to Nuclear–Electronic Orbital Theory

The Cholesky decomposition technique is commonly used to reduce the memory requirement for storing two-particle repulsion integrals in quantum chemistry calculations that use atomic orbital bases. However, when quantum methods use multicomponent bases, such as nuclear–electronic orbitals, additional challenges are introduced due to asymmetric two-particle integrals. This work proposes several multicomponent Cholesky decomposition methods for calculations using nuclear–electronic orbital density functional theory. To analyze the errors in different Cholesky decomposition components, benchmark calculations using water clusters are carried out. The largest benchmark calculation is a water cluster (H 2 O) 27 where all 54 protons are treated quantum mechanically. Furthermore, this study provides energetic and complexity analyses to demonstrate the accuracy and performance of the proposed multicomponent Cholesky decomposition method.

MatRIS: Addressing the Challenges for Portability and Heterogeneity Using Tasking for Matrix Decomposition (Cholesky)

The ubiquitous in-node heterogeneity of HPC and cloud computing platforms makes software portability and performance optimization extremely challenging. Described here, the MatRIS multilevel math library abstraction framework employs tasking to alleviate these difficulties. MatRIS includes the IRIS task-based runtime on the bottom level and exposes different layers of abstraction to render algorithms architecturally agnostic. MatRIS ensures the decomposition and creation of tasks that represent the necessary encapsulation of the optimized kernels from both vendor and open-source math libraries. Once built, MatRIS can select different combinations of accelerators at runtime, making it portable even on diverse heterogeneous architectures. By leveraging the IRIS runtime’s features for managing heterogeneity, MatRIS deploys algorithms that remove the need to specify orchestration and data transfer. This study describes how the serial task abstraction of a tiled Cholesky factorization is made portable and scalable in the case of multi-device and multi-vendor heterogeneity on a node with NVIDIA and AMD GPUs by using MatRIS. First, we demonstrate that Cholesky in MatRIS provides multi-GPU scalability that offers competitive performance versus cuSolverMG. Then, we present the challenges and opportunities for heterogeneous execution.

Cholesky Decomposition-Based Implementation of Relativistic Two-Component Coupled-Cluster Methods for Medium-Sized Molecules

A Cholesky decomposition (CD)-based implementation of relativistic two-component coupled-cluster (CC) and equation-of-motion CC (EOM-CC) methods using an exact two-component Hamiltonian augmented with atomic-mean-field integrals (the X2CAMF scheme) is reported. Furthermore, the present CD-based implementation of X2CAMF-CC and EOM-CC methods employs atomic-orbital-based algorithms to avoid the construction of two-electron integrals and intermediates involving three and four virtual indices. The CD-based implementation extends the applicability of X2CAMF-CC and EOMCC methods to medium-sized molecules with the correlation of around 1000 spinors. Benchmark calculations for uranium-containing small molecules have been performed to assess the dependence of CC results with respect to the Cholesky threshold. A Cholesky threshold of 10 –4 is shown to maintain chemical accuracy. Example calculations to illustrate the capability of the CD-based relativistic CC methods are reported for the bond dissociation energy of the uranium hexafluoride molecule, UF 6 , with up to quadruple-zeta basis sets and the lowest excitation energy in solvated uranyl ion [UO 2 2+ (H 2 O) 12 ].

Relativistic resolution-of-the-identity with Cholesky integral decomposition

In this study, we present an efficient integral decomposition approach called the restricted-kinetic-balance resolution-of-the-identity (RKB-RI) algorithm, which utilizes a tunable RI method based on the Cholesky integral decomposition for in-core relativistic quantum chemistry calculations. The RKB-RI algorithm incorporates the restricted-kinetic-balance condition and offers a versatile framework for accurate computations. Notably, the Cholesky integral decomposition is employed not only to approximate symmetric large-component electron repulsion integrals but also those involving small-component basis functions. In addition to comprehensive error analysis, we investigate crucial conditions, such as the kinetic balance condition and variational stability, which underlie the applicability of Dirac relativistic electronic structure theory. Here we compare the computational cost of the RKB-RI approach with the full in-core method to assess its efficiency. To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the RKB-RI method proposed in this work, we employ actinyl oxides as benchmark systems, leveraging their properties for validation purposes. This investigation provides valuable insights into the capabilities and performance of the RKB-RI algorithm and establishes its potential as a powerful tool in the field of relativistic quantum chemistry.

Scalable Quantum Monte Carlo Method for Polariton Chemistry via Mixed Block Sparsity and Tensor Hypercontraction Method

We present a reduced-scaling auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) framework designed for large molecular systems and ensembles, with or without coupling to optical cavities. Our approach leverages the natural block sparsity of the Cholesky decomposition (CD) of electron repulsion integrals in molecular ensembles and employs tensor hypercontraction (THC) to efficiently compress low-rank Cholesky blocks. By representing the Cholesky vectors in a mixed format, keeping high-rank blocks in block-sparse form and compressing low-rank blocks with THC, we reduce the scaling of exchange-energy evaluation from quartic to robust cubic in the number of molecular orbitals N, while lowering memory from cubic toward quadratic. Benchmark analyses on one-, two-, and three-dimensional molecular ensembles (up to ∼1,200 orbitals) show that (a) the number of nonzeros in Cholesky tensors grows linearly with system size across dimensions; (b) the average numerical rank increases sublinearly and does not saturate at these sizes; and (c) rank heterogeneity─some blocks nearly full rank and many low rank, naturally motivates the proposed mixed block sparsity and THC scheme for efficient calculation of exchange energy. In conclusion, we demonstrate that the mixed scheme yields cubic wall-time scaling with favorable prefactors and preserves AFQMC accuracy.
