Description

I am currently seeking for the GPU version of the 'get_h2eff' function in the original PySCF, which might be a significant bottleneck for our group's method. My question is:

  1. whether it is currently being developed by anybody, and
  2. if it is currently not one of the biggest considerations in development, can we develop one?

Research direction

Start by locating the original PySCF implementation of get_h2eff and checking whether a GPU version is already being developed. Define the scope for a GPU implementation and how its performance would be evaluated; the issue names no files or tests, so those entry points must first be identified.
