摘要: More accurate than mean-field methods and more scalable quantum chemical methods, continuum Monte Carlo (QMC) is an invaluable tool for predicting the properties of matter from fundamental principles. Because QMC algorithms offer multiple forms parallelism, they're ideal candidates acceleration in many-core paradigm.
