AbstractWe have developed a set of techniques for performing large scale ab initio calculations using multigrid accelerations and a real-space grid as a basis. The multigrid methods permit efficient calculations on ill-conditioned systems with long length scales or high energy cutoffs. We discuss the design of pseudopotentials for real-space grids, and the computation of ionic forces. The technique has been applied to several systems, including an isolated C60 molecule, the wurtzite phase of GaN, a 64-atom cell of GaN with the Ga d-states in valence, and a 443-atom protein. The method has been implemented on both vector and parallel architectures. We also discuss ongoing work on O(N) implementations and solvated biomolecules.
