abstract = {We present a highly scalable DFT-based QM/MM implementation
developed within MiMiC, a recently introduced multiscale
modeling framework that uses a loose-coupling strategy in
conjunction with a multiple-program multiple-data (MPMD)
approach. The computation of electrostatic QM/MM
interactions is parallelized exploiting both distributed-
and shared-memory strategies. Here, we use the efficient
CPMD and GROMACS programs as QM and MM engines,
respectively. The scalability is demonstrated through
large-scale benchmark simulations of realistic biomolecular
systems employing non-hybrid and hybrid GGA
exchange–correlation functionals. We show that the
loose-coupling strategy adopted in MiMiC, with its inherent
high flexibility, does not carry any significant
computational overhead compared to a tight-coupling scheme.
Furthermore, we demonstrate that the adopted parallelization
strategy enables scaling up to 13,000 CPU cores with
efficiency above $70\%,$ thus making DFT-based QM/MM MD
simulations using hybrid functionals at the nanosecond scale
accessible.},
