摘要
In this paper, we present and review the most recent computational advances in the BERTHA code. BERTHA can be regarded as the state of the art in fully relativistic four-component Dirac-Kohn-Sham (DKS) software. Thanks to the implementation of various parallelization and memory open-ended distribution schemes in combination with efficient "density fitting" algorithms, it greatly reduces the computational burden of four-component DKS calculations. We also report the newly developed OpenMP version of the code, that, together with the berthmod Python module, provides a significant leap forward in terms of usability and applicability of the BERTHA software. Some applications of the recently developed natural orbitals for chemical valence/charge displacement bonding analysis and the real-time time dependent DKS implementation are also reported.
