Parallelizing an SCF program on SUPRENUM

  • Conference paper
Supercomputer and Chemistry

Abstract

This article describes how an existing serial SCF-Programm can be adpated to a parallel computer architecture with distributed memory like the SUPRENUM system. The SCF program, which should be adapted, can be considered as a traditionally coded Gaussian lobe program as far as the code structure is concerned. The intregral part of the program is massively vectorized.

A short overview of the SUPRENUM system describes the basic features of the hardware, programming environment, and the user interface.
