The evaluation of exact (Hartree--Fock, HF) exchange operator is a crucial ingredient for the accurate description of electronic structure in periodic systems through ab initio and hybrid density functional approaches. An efficient formulation of periodic HF exchange in LCAO representation presented here is based on the concentric atomic density fitting (CADF) approximation, a domain-free local density fitting approach in which the product of two atomic orbitals (AOs) is approximated using a linear combination of fitting basis functions centered at the same nuclei as the AOs in that product. Significant reduction in the computational cost of exact exchange is demonstrated relative to the conventional approach due to avoiding the need to evaluate four-center two-electron integrals, with sub-millihartree/atom errors in absolute Hartree-Fock energies and good cancellation of fitting errors in relative energies. Novel aspects of the evaluation of the Coulomb contribution to the Fock operator, such as the use of real two-center multipole expansions and spheropole-compensated unit cell densities are also described.

We introduce a mixed density fitting scheme that uses both a Gaussian and a plane-wave fitting basis to accurately evaluate electron repulsion integrals in crystalline systems. We use this scheme to enable efficient all-electron Gaussian based periodic density functional and Hartree-Fock calculations.
We present an efficient implementation of periodic Gaussian density fitting (GDF) using the Coulomb metric. The three-center integrals are divided into two parts by range-separating the Coulomb kernel, with the short-range part evaluated in real space and the long-range part in reciprocal space. With a few algorithmic optimizations, we show that this new method -- which we call range-separated GDF (RSGDF) -- scales sublinearly to linearly with the number of $k$-points for small to medium-sized $k$-point meshes that are commonly used in periodic calculations with electron correlation. Numerical results on a few three-dimensional solids show about $10$-fold speedups over the previously developed GDF with little precision loss. The error introduced by RSGDF is about $10^{-5}~E_{textrm{h}}$ in the converged Hartree-Fock energy with default auxiliary basis sets and can be systematically reduced by increasing the size of the auxiliary basis with little extra work.

This work presents an algorithm to evaluate Coulomb and exchange matrices in Fock operator using range separation techniques at various aspects. This algorithm is particularly favorable for the scenario of (1) all-electron calculations or (2) computing exchange matrix for a large number of $mathbf{k}$-point samples. An all electron Hartree-Fock calculation with 110k basis functions is demonstrated in this work.

We present an efficient, linear-scaling implementation for building the (screened) Hartree-Fock exchange (HFX) matrix for periodic systems within the framework of numerical atomic orbital (NAO) basis functions. Our implementation is based on the localized resolution of the identity approximation by which two-electron Coulomb repulsion integrals can be obtained by only computing two-center quantities -- a feature that is highly beneficial to NAOs. By exploiting the locality of basis functions and efficient prescreening of the intermediate three- and two-index tensors, one can achieve a linear scaling of the computational cost for building the HFX matrix with respect to the system size. Our implementation is massively parallel, thanks to a MPI/OpenMP hybrid parallelization strategy for distributing the computational load and memory storage. All these factors add together to enable highly efficient hybrid functional calculations for large-scale periodic systems. In this work we describe the key algorithms and implementation details for the HFX build as implemented in the ABACUS code package. The performance and scalability of our implementation with respect to the system size and the number of CPU cores are demonstrated for selected benchmark systems up to 4096 atoms.
Efficient computational methods that are capable of supporting experimental measures obtained at constant values of pH and redox potential are important tools as they serve to, among other things, provide additional atomic level information that cannot be obtained experimentally. Replica Exchange is an enhanced sampling technique that allows converged results to be obtained faster in comparison to regular molecular dynamics simulations. In this work we report the implementation, also available with GPU-accelerated code, of pH and redox potential (E) as options for multidimensional REMD simulations in AMBER. Previous publications have only reported multidimensional REMD simulations with the temperature and Hamiltonian dimensions. In this work results are shown for N-acetylmicroperoxidase-8 (NAcMP8) axially connected to a histidine peptide. This is a small system that contains only a single heme group. We compare results from E,pH-REMD, E,T-REMD and E,T,pH-REMD to one dimensional REMD simulations and to simulations without REMD. We show that 2D-REMD simulations improve sampling convergence in comparison to 1D-REMD simulations, and that 3D-REMD further improves convergence in comparison to 2D-REMD simulations. Also, our computational benchmarks show that our multidimensional REMD calculations have a small and bearable computational performance, essentially the same as one dimensional REMD. However, in multidimensional REMD a significantly higher number of replicas is required as the number of replicas scales geometrically with the number of dimensions, which requires additional computational resources. In addition to the pH dependence on standard redox potential values and the redox potential dependence on pKa values,we also investigate the influence of the temperature in our results. We observe an agreement between our computational results and theoretical predictions.
