A coarse-grain, parallel approach to direct Hartree-Fock calculations is presented and discussed. The suggested scheme allows for a near asymptotic speedup involving a very low parallelization overhead without compromising the vector performance of vector-parallel architectures.

✦ Synopsis
Three improvements on the direct self-consistent field method are proposed and tested which together increase CPU-efficiency by about 50%: (i) selective storage of costly integral batches; (ii) improved integral bond for prescreening; (iii) decomposition of the current density matrix into a linear combination of previous density matricesfor which the two-electron contributions to the Fock matrix are availableand a remainder AD, which is minimized; construction of the current Fock matrix only requires processing of the small AD which enhances prescreening.
