Abstrakt: Strategies for multiple-level parallelizations of quantum-mechanical calculations are discussed, with an emphasis on using groups of workers for performing parallel tasks. These parallel programming models can be used for a variety ab initio quantum chemistry approaches, including the fragment molecular orbital method and replica-exchange molecular dynamics. Strategies for efficient load balancing on problems of increasing granularity are introduced and discussed. A four-level parallelization is developed based on a multi-level hierarchical grouping, and a high parallel efficiency is achieved on the Theta supercomputer using 131 072 OpenMP threads.
