| Description | New approaches to optimise operations and code for linear-scaling electronic structure calculations. |

| Description | One of the outcomes of this work was the development of a significantly more efficient parallelisation scheme for the ONETEP code, going from MPI-only to hybrid MPI+OpenMP which increases the scale of the calculations and reduces the all-important time to solution. This strengthened the dominance of the code as the preferred tool for large-scale electronic structure simulations both in industry (commercial sales up to $6-million todate) and in academia. |
