Abstract
An implementation of the Car–Parrinello algorithm for total energy pseudopotential calculations is undertaken on a massively parallel supercomputer, the Connection Machine CM-2. Its large memory and throughput makes feasible computations with systems involving more atoms than previously possible on conventional vector supercomputers. Calculations of the Takayanagi 7×7 reconstruction of the Si(111) surface demonstrate that computations involving 1000 atoms at realistic cutoff energies are now possible using ab initio techniques.
