An efficient algorithm for Cholesky decomposition of electron repulsion integrals

Chemical Physics 2019-06-05 v1

Abstract

We present an algorithm where only the Cholesky basis is determined in the decomposition procedure. This allows for improved screening and a partitioned matrix decomposition scheme, both of which significantly reduce memory usage and computational cost. After the basis has been determined, an inner projection technique is used to construct the Cholesky vectors. The algorithm extends the application range of the methodology and is well suited for multilevel methods. We apply the algorithm to systems with up to 80000 atomic orbitals.
