C&EN White Paper
Fast-Track Computational Chemistry Experiments with Accelerated DFT
Brought to you by Microsoft
Overview

Density functional theory (DFT) is a popular simulation method in computational chemistry. However, as modeled chemical systems increase in size and complexity, DFT codes require more computational power and hardware resources to speed up calculations. Chemists are running into these challenges more frequently as they push the boundaries of DFT to solve new research problems.

In this white paper, learn how Accelerated DFT harnesses the computing power of the cloud and modern GPUs to enhance speed, boost scalability, simplify the user experience, and integrate seamlessly with other computational chemistry tools and workflows.

Key Objectives:
  • Discover how Accelerated DFT works to enable rapid calculations and swift simulations
  • Explore the advantages of Accelerated DFT over traditional DFT
  • Understand which calculations Accelerated DFT supports
  • Uncover how Accelerated DFT lays the foundation for solving chemistry problems on quantum computers
