2 Speed-up of ATK compared to System Speed-up Memory reduction Azafulleroid (molecule, 97 atoms) % 6x6x6 MgO (bulk, 432 atoms, Gamma point) % 6x6x6 MgO (k-point sampling (2,1,1)) % The speed-up measures how many times faster the new version is compared to (a factor 2 means twice faster), while the memory reduction is given in percent (50% means half the memory). 8x8x8 MgO (bulk, 1,024 atoms, Gamma point) % AuSiAu (two-probe, 1,166 atoms*) % * 782 atoms in scattering region, 1,166 in equivalent bulk Speed-up and memory reduction for the two-probe system with 1166 Si and Au atoms. The two distinguishable regimes (breakpoint at 350 ks for the red curve) are the equivalent bulk run and the two-probe calculations, respectively.
