66 MM:overview GEEP Application: covd Conclusion MM Schemes GEEP Summary GEEP to speed up the evaluation of a function on a grid! The speed up factor is ~ (Nf/Nc) 3 =2 3(Ngrid-1)! Usually 3-4 grid levels are used corresponding to a speed up of ~ 10 2 times faster than the simple collocation algorithm (Interpolations and Restrictions account for a negligible amount of time)! Since the residual function is different from zero only for few k vectors, the sum in reciprocal space is restrained to few points.! Small computational overhead between the fully periodic and non-periodic

67 MM:overview GEEP Application: covd Conclusion MM Schemes Sources of Errors Cutoff of grid level appropriate to the cutoff of the mapped Gaussian (~ points per linear direction)! Error in Cubic Spline interpolation! Cutoff of the coarse grid level comparable to the cutoff of the long range function.
