abstract = {In this paper we focus on the integration of
high-performance numerical libraries in ab initio codes and
the portability of performance and scalability. The target
of our work is FLEUR, a software for electronic structure
calculations developed in the Forschungszentrum $J\'ulich$
over the course of two decades. The presented work follows
up on a previous effort to modernize legacy code by
re-engineering and rewriting it in terms of highly optimized
libraries. We illustrate how this initial effort to get
efficient and portable shared-memory code enables fast
porting of the code to emerging heterogeneous architectures.
More specifically, we port the code to nodes equipped with
multiple GPUs. We divide our study in two parts. First, we
show considerable speedups attained by minor and relatively
straightforward code changes to off-load parts of the
computation to the GPUs. Then, we identify further possible
improvements to achieve even higher performance and
scalability. On a system consisting of 16-cores and 2 GPUs,
we observe speedups of up to 5x with respect to our
optimized shared-memory code, which in turn means between
7.5x and 12.5x speedup with respect to the original FLEUR
code.},
