<p>We present the details of a GPU capable exchange correlation (XC) scheme integrated into the open source QUantum
Interaction Computational Kernel (QUICK) program. Our implementation features an octree based numerical grid point partitioning scheme, GPU enabled grid pruning and basis/primitive function prescreening and fully GPU capable XC energy and gradient
algorithms. Benchmarking against the CPU version demonstrated that the GPU implementation is capable of delivering an impres-
sive performance while retaining excellent accuracy. For small to medium size protein/organic molecular systems, the realized
speedups in double precision XC energy and gradient computation on a NVIDIA V100 GPU were 60 to 80-fold and 140 to 780-
fold respectively as compared to the serial CPU implementation. The acceleration gained in density functional theory calculations
from a single V100 GPU significantly exceeds that of a modern CPU with 40 cores running in parallel.
