Accelerating Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations of Solids with Graphical Processing Unit

Fionn D. Malone, Shuai Zhang, Miguel A. Morales

We outline how auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) can leverage graphical processing units (GPUs) to accelerate the simulation of solid state sytems. By exploiting conserva…
