Automatic code generation in density functional theory

摘要

We present a program, dfauto, that uses automatic code generation to produce Fortran code and LATEX documentation for implementing density functionals in a Kohn-Sham program. The user provides the formulae that define the density functional and dfauto produces Fortran to evaluate the exchange-correlation kernel on an integration grid, along with the gradients necessary for Kohn-Sham calculations. The program is implemented in Bourne shell and Maple.
