Libecpint is a C++ library for the efficient evaluation of integrals over ab initio effective core potentials, using a mixture of generated, recursive code and Gauss-Chebyshev quadrature. It is designed to be standalone and generic, and is now in its first stable release. If you experience any problems please raise an issue here; contributions and suggestions are also welcome.
- Analytical 1st and 2nd derivatives;
- Integration now >10x faster;
- New, high level API, with ECP library;
- Automated testing suite.
- Bug fix in screening of on-ECP type 2 integrals
- Improvements in CMake build steps, thanks to nabbelbabbel/moritzBens
- Fix for memory leaks in derivative routines
- Minor changes to CMake files
- Fix bug in radial type 1 integrals where quadrature could fail to converge
- Const correctness throughout, should allow for parallelisation
- Minor updates to docs
- Code generation now takes considerably less time and memory; MAX_L=8 takes ~35 seconds, peaking at 1.5GB of memory (joint effort with Thomas Dresselhaus and Peter Bygrave)
- This will be the final patch before v1.1
- A modern C++ compiler, at least C++11 standard library is required. This has been tested with:
- gcc (v6.3.0 and above)
- clang (v10.0.0 and above), you may need the CXX flag "-std=c++14"
- icpc (v20.2.1), may also need the CXX flag "-std=c++14"
- CMake/CTest build tools (v3.12 and higher)
- Python (2.7 or above, including 3 and higher)
Additionally, if you wish to regenerate the radial code (see below), Python >=3.6 is required with numpy and sympy.
