Abstract
The implementation of an original Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics module is presented, which is able to perform simulations of large and complex condensed phase systems for sufficiently long time scales at the level of density functional theory with hybrid functionals, in the microcanonical (NVE) and canonical (NVT) ensembles. The algorithm is fully integrated in the Crystal code, a program for quantum mechanical simulations of materials, whose peculiarity stems from the use of atom-centered basis functions within a linear combination of atomic orbitals to describe the wave function. The corresponding efficiency in the evaluation of the exact Fock exchange series has led to the implementation of a rich variety of hybrid density functionals at a low computational cost. In addition, the molecular dynamics implementation benefits also from the effective MPI parallelization of the code, suited to exploit high-performance computing resources available on current generation supercomputer architectures. Furthermore, the information contained in the trajectory of the dynamics is extracted through a series of postprocessing algorithms that provide the radial distribution function, the diffusion coefficient and the vibrational density of states. In this work, we present a detailed description of the theoretical framework and the algorithmic implementation, followed by a critical evaluation of the accuracy and parallel performance (e.g., strong and weak scaling) of this approach, when ice and liquid water simulations are performed in the microcanonical and canonical ensembles.

Abstract
Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) based on density functional theory (DFT) has become a workhorse for studying the structure, dynamics, and reactions in condensed matter systems. Currently, AIMD simulations are primarily carried out at the level of generalized gradient approximation (GGA), which is at the second rung of DFT functionals in terms of accuracy. Hybrid DFT functionals, which form the fourth rung in the accuracy ladder, are not commonly used in AIMD simulations as the computational cost involved is 100 times or higher. To facilitate AIMD simulations with hybrid functionals, we propose here an approach using multiple time stepping with adaptively compressed exchange operator and resonance-free thermostat, that could speed up the calculations by ∼30 times or more for systems with a few hundred of atoms. We demonstrate that by achieving this significant speed up and making the compute time of hybrid functional-based AIMD simulations at par with that of GGA functionals, we are able to study several complex condensed matter systems and model chemical reactions in solution with hybrid functionals that were earlier unthinkable to be performed.

Abstract
High-throughput electronic structure calculations (often performed using density functional theory (DFT)) play a central role in screening existing and novel materials, sampling potential energy surfaces, and generating data for machine learning applications. By including a fraction of exact exchange (EXX), hybrid functionals reduce the self-interaction error in semilocal DFT and furnish a more accurate description of the underlying electronic structure, albeit at a computational cost that often prohibits such high-throughput applications. To address this challenge, we have constructed a robust, accurate, and computationally efficient framework for high-throughput condensed-phase hybrid DFT and implemented this approach in the PWSCF module of Quantum ESPRESSO (QE). The resulting SeA approach (SeA = SCDM + exx + ACE) combines and seamlessly integrates: (i) the selected columns of the density matrix method (SCDM, a robust noniterative orbital localization scheme that sidesteps system-dependent optimization protocols), (ii) a recently extended version of exx (a black-box linear-scaling EXX algorithm that exploits sparsity between localized orbitals in real space when evaluating the action of the standard/full-rank V^xx operator), and (iii) adaptively compressed exchange (ACE, a low-rank V^xx approximation). In doing so, SeA harnesses three levels of computational savings: pair selection and domain truncation from SCDM + exx (which only considers spatially overlapping orbitals on orbital-pair-specific and system-size-independent domains) and low-rank V^xx approximation from ACE (which reduces the number of calls to SCDM + exx during the self-consistent field (SCF) procedure). Across a diverse set of 200 nonequilibrium (H2O)64 configurations (with densities spanning 0.4-1.7 g/cm3), SeA provides a 1-2 order-of-magnitude speedup in the overall time-to-solution, i.e., ≈8-26× compared to the convolution-based PWSCF(ACE) implementation in QE and ≈78-247× compared to the conventional PWSCF(Full) approach, and yields energies, ionic forces, and other properties with high fidelity. As a proof-of-principle high-throughput application, we trained a deep neural network (DNN) potential for ambient liquid water at the hybrid DFT level using SeA via an actively learned data set with ≈8,700 (H2O)64 configurations. Using an out-of-sample set of (H2O)512 configurations (at nonambient conditions), we confirmed the accuracy of this SeA-trained potential and showcased the capabilities of SeA by computing the ground-truth ionic forces in this challenging system containing >1,500 atoms.

Abstract
Kohn-Sham density functional theory and plane wave basis set based ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulation is a powerful tool for studying complex reactions in solutions, such as electron transfer (ET) reactions involving Fe2+ /Fe3+ ions in water. In most cases, such simulations are performed using density functionals at the level of Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA). The challenge in modelling ET reactions is the poor quality of GGA functionals in predicting properties of such open-shell systems due to the inevitable self-interaction error (SIE). While hybrid functionals can minimize SIE, standard plane-wave based AIMD at that level of theory is typically 150 times slower than GGA for systems containing ∼100 atoms. Among several approaches reported to speed-up AIMD simulations with hybrid functionals, the noise-stabilized MD (NSMD) procedure, together with the use of localized orbitals to compute the required exchange integrals, is an attractive option. In this work, we demonstrate the application of the NSMD approach for studying the Fe2+ /Fe3+ redox reaction in water. It is shown here that long AIMD trajectories at the level of hybrid density functionals can be obtained using this approach. Redox properties of the aqueous Fe2+ /Fe3+ system computed from these simulations are compared with the available experimental data for validation.

Abstract
Density functionals at the level of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and a plane-wave basis set are widely used today to perform ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. Going up in the ladder of accuracy of density functionals from GGA (second rung) to hybrid density functionals (fourth rung) is much desired pertaining to the accuracy of the latter in describing structure, dynamics, and energetics of molecular and condensed matter systems. On the other hand, hybrid density functional based AIMD simulations are about two orders of magnitude slower than GGA based AIMD for systems containing ~100 atoms using ~100 compute cores. Two methods, namely MTACE and s-MTACE, based on a multiple time step integrator and adaptively compressed exchange operator formalism are able to provide a speed-up of about 7-9 in performing hybrid density functional based AIMD. In this work, we report an implementation of these methods using a task-group based parallelization within the CPMD program package, with the intention to take advantage of the large number of compute cores available on modern high-performance computing platforms. We present here the boost in performance achieved through this algorithm. This work also identifies the computational bottleneck in the s-MTACE method and proposes a way to overcome it.

Abstract
Methods that combine collective variable (CV) based enhanced sampling and global tempering approaches are used in speeding-up the conformational sampling and free energy calculation of large and soft systems with a plethora of energy minima. In this paper, a new method of this kind is proposed in which the well-sliced metadynamics approach (WSMTD) is united with replica exchange with solute tempering (REST2) method. WSMTD employs a divide-and-conquer strategy wherein high-dimensional slices of a free energy surface are independently sampled and combined. The method enables one to accomplish a controlled exploration of the CV-space with a restraining bias as in umbrella sampling, and enhance-sampling of one or more orthogonal CVs using a metadynamics like bias. The new hybrid method proposed here enables boosting the sampling of more slow degrees of freedom in WSMTD simulations, without the need to specify associated CVs, through a replica exchange scheme within the framework of REST2. The high-dimensional slices of the probability distributions of CVs computed from the united WSMTD and REST2 simulations are subsequently combined using the weighted histogram analysis method to obtain the free energy surface. We show that the new method proposed here is accurate, improves the conformational sampling, and achieves quick convergence in free energy estimates. We demonstrate this by computing the conformational free energy landscapes of solvated alanine tripeptide and Trp-cage mini protein in explicit water.

Abstract
In the previous paper of this series [Ko, H.-Y. et al. J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2020, 16, 3757-3785], we presented a theoretical and algorithmic framework based on a localized representation of the occupied space that exploits the inherent sparsity in the real-space evaluation of the exact exchange (EXX) interaction in finite-gap systems. This was accompanied by a detailed description of exx, a massively parallel hybrid message-passing interface MPI/OpenMP implementation of this approach in Quantum ESPRESSO (QE) that enables linear scaling hybrid density functional theory (DFT)-based ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) in the microcanonical/canonical (NVE/NVT) ensembles of condensed-phase systems containing 500-1000 atoms (in fixed orthorhombic cells) with a wall time cost comparable to semi-local DFT. In this work, we extend the current capabilities of exx to enable hybrid DFT-based AIMD simulations of large-scale condensed-phase systems with general and fluctuating cells in the isobaric-isoenthalpic/isobaric-isothermal (NpH/NpT) ensembles. The theoretical extensions to this approach include an analytical derivation of the EXX contribution to the stress tensor for systems in general simulation cells with a computational complexity that scales linearly with system size. The corresponding algorithmic extensions to exx include optimized routines that (i) handle both static and fluctuating simulation cells with non-orthogonal lattice symmetries, (ii) solve Poisson's equation in general/non-orthogonal cells via an automated selection of the auxiliary grid directions in the Natan-Kronik representation of the discrete Laplacian operator, and (iii) evaluate the EXX contribution to the stress tensor. Using this approach, we perform a case study on a variety of condensed-phase systems (including liquid water, a benzene molecular crystal polymorph, and semi-conducting crystalline silicon) and demonstrate that the EXX contributions to the energy and stress tensor simultaneously converge with an appropriate choice of exx parameters. This is followed by a critical assessment of the computational performance of the extended exx module across several different high-performance computing architectures via case studies on (i) the computational complexity due to lattice symmetry during NpT simulations of three different ice polymorphs (i.e., ice Ih, II, and III) and (ii) the strong/weak parallel scaling during large-scale NpT simulations of liquid water. We demonstrate that the robust and highly scalable implementation of this approach in the extended exx module is capable of evaluating the EXX contribution to the stress tensor with negligible cost (<1%) as well as all other EXX-related quantities needed during NpT simulations of liquid water (with a very tight 150 Ry planewave cutoff) in ≈5.2 s ((H2O)128) and ≈6.8 s ((H2O)256) per AIMD step. As such, the extended exx module presented in this work brings us another step closer to routinely performing hybrid DFT-based AIMD simulations of sufficient duration for large-scale condensed-phase systems across a wide range of thermodynamic conditions.

Abstract
Ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) with hybrid density functionals and a plane wave basis is computationally expensive due to the high computational cost of exact exchange energy evaluation. Recently, we proposed a strategy to combine adaptively compressed exchange (ACE) operator formulation and a multiple time step integration scheme to reduce the computational cost significantly [J. Chem. Phys. 2019, 151, 151102 ]. However, it was found that the construction of the ACE operator, which has to be done at least once in every MD time step, is computationally expensive. In the present work, systematic improvements are introduced to further speed up by employing localized orbitals for the construction of the ACE operator. By this, we could achieve a computational speedup of an order of magnitude for a periodic system containing 32 water molecules. Benchmark calculations were carried out to show the accuracy and efficiency of the method in predicting the structural and dynamical properties of bulk water. To demonstrate the applicability, computationally intensive free-energy computations at the level of hybrid density functional theory were performed to investigate (a) methyl formate hydrolysis reaction in neutral aqueous media and (b) proton-transfer reaction within the active-site residues of the class C β-lactamase enzyme.
