GPU acceleration of the Wannier-Fourier interpolation of electron-phonon interactions in EPW

ORAL

Abstract

We present a significant improvement in the computational efficiency of the EPW code (https://epw-code.org) achieved through GPU acceleration of the Wannier-Fourier interpolation of electron-phonon interactions. By leveraging massively parallel computing capabilities of modern GPUs, we demonstrate that a substantial reduction in computation time can be obtained, which will enable the study of more complex systems with higher accuracy. We discuss the implementation details of the GPU acceleration, including the strategies that allowed us to maximize the performance without sacrificing maintainability and portability of the code base. In addition, we will showcase the results of transport calculations, highlighting the improvement in speed and scalability of the new implementation on multi-GPU systems.
