Claims
The Abinit implementation on multi-GPU architectures provides detailed performance results to compare CPU nodes versus heterogeneous CPU-GPU nodes, with particular attention given to the comparison of LOBPCG and Chebyshev polynomial filtering in terms of their GPU efficiency.
That the algorithmic revisions to the iterative diagonalization procedure preserve the numerical accuracy and convergence properties of the original CPU implementation while achieving the reported GPU speedups.
Abinit's plane-wave DFT solver has been ported to multi-GPU architectures with performance benchmarks comparing CPU and CPU-GPU nodes for LOBPCG and Chebyshev filtering diagonalization methods.
