block2

The block2 code provides an efficient highly scalable implementation of the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) for quantum chemistry, based on Matrix Product Operator (MPO) formalism.

The block2 code is developed as an improved version of StackBlock, where the low-level structure of the code has been completely rewritten. The block2 code is developed and maintained in Garnet Chan group at Caltech.

You can find a bibtex file in CITATIONS.bib.

One can install block2 using pip:

  • OpenMP-only version (no MPI dependence)

    pip install block2

  • Hybrid openMP/MPI version (requiring openMPI 4.0.x and mpi4py based on the same openMPI library installed)

    pip install block2-mpi

  • Binary format is prepared via pip for python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10 with macOS (x86 and arm64, no-MPI) or Linux (no-MPI/openMPI). If these binaries have some problems, you can use the --no-binary option of pip to force building from source (for example, pip install block2 --no-binary block2).

  • One should only install one of block2 and block2-mpi. block2-mpi covers all features in block2, but its dependence on mpi library can sometimes be difficult to deal with. Some guidance for resolving environment problems can be found in issue #7 and here.

  • To install the most recent development version, use:

    pip install block2==<version> --extra-index-url=https://block-hczhai.github.io/block2-preview/pypi/
pip install block2-mpi==<version> --extra-index-url=https://block-hczhai.github.io/block2-preview/pypi/

    where <version> can be some development version number like 0.5.1rc14.

To run a DMRG calculation using the command line interface, please use the following command:

block2main dmrg.conf > dmrg.out

where dmrg.conf is the StackBlock style input file and dmrg.out contains the outputs.

For DMRGSCF calculation, please have a look at the documentation.

Manual Installation

Dependence: pybind11, python3, and mkl (or blas + lapack).

For distributed parallel calculation, mpi library is required.

For unit tests, googletest is required.

cmake (version >= 3.0) can be used to compile C++ part of the code, as follows:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DUSE_MKL=ON -DBUILD_LIB=ON -DLARGE_BOND=ON
make -j 10

This will build the python extension (using 10 CPU cores) (serial code).

One can add both the repo root directory and the build directory into PYTHONPATH so that import block2 and import pyblock2 will work.

MKL

If -DUSE_MKL=ON is not given, blas and lapack are required. Sometimes, the blas and lapack function names can contain the extra underscore. Therefore, it is recommended to use -DUSE_MKL=OFF and -DF77UNDERSCORE=ON together to prevent this underscore problem. If this generates the undefined reference error, one should try -DUSE_MKL=OFF -DF77UNDERSCORE=OFF instead.

Use -DUSE_MKL64=ON instead of -DUSE_MKL=ON to enable using matrices with 64-bit integer type.

Serial compilation

By default, the C++ templates will be explicitly instantiated in different compilation units, so that parallel compilation is possible.

Alternatively, one can do single-file compilation using -DEXP_TMPL=NONE, then total compilation time can be saved by avoiding unnecessary template instantiation, as follows:

cmake .. -DUSE_MKL=ON -DBUILD_LIB=ON -DEXP_TMPL=NONE
make -j 1

This may take 11 minutes, requiring 14 GB memory.

MPI version

Adding option -DMPI=ON will build MPI parallel version. The C++ compiler and MPI library must be matched. If necessary, environment variables CC, CXX, and MPIHOME can be used to explicitly set the path.

For mixed openMP/MPI, use mpirun --bind-to none -n ... or mpirun --bind-to core --map-by ppr:$NPROC:node:pe=$NOMPT ... to execute binary.

Binary build

To build unit tests and binary executable (instead of python extension), use the following:

cmake .. -DUSE_MKL=ON -DBUILD_TEST=ON

TBB (Intel Threading Building Blocks)

Adding (optional) option -DTBB=ON will utilize malloc from tbbmalloc. This can improve multi-threading performance.

openMP

If gnu openMP library libgomp is not available, one can use intel openMP library.

The following will switch to intel openMP library (incompatible with -fopenmp):

cmake .. -DUSE_MKL=ON -DBUILD_LIB=ON -DOMP_LIB=INTEL

The following will use sequential mkl library:

cmake .. -DUSE_MKL=ON -DBUILD_LIB=ON -DOMP_LIB=SEQ

The following will use tbb mkl library:

cmake .. -DUSE_MKL=ON -DBUILD_LIB=ON -DOMP_LIB=TBB -DTBB=ON

Note for developers : for CSR sparse MKL + ThreadingTypes::Operator, if -DOMP_LIB=GNU, it is not possible to set both n_threads_mkl not equal to 1 and n_threads_op not equal to 1. In other words, nested openMP is not possible for CSR sparse matrix (generating wrong result/non-convergence). For -DOMP_LIB=SEQ, CSR sparse matrix is okay (non-nested openMP). For -DOMP_LIB=TBB, nested openMP + TBB MKL is okay.

-DTBB=ON can be combined with any -DOMP_LIB=....

Complex mode

For complex integrals / spin-orbit coupling (SOC), extra options -DUSE_COMPLEX=ON and -DUSE_SG=ON are required (and the compilation time will increase).

Maximal bond dimension

The default maximal allowed bond dimension per symmetry block is 65535. Adding option -DSMALL_BOND=ON will change this value to 255. Adding option -DLARGE_BOND=ON will change this value to 4294967295.

Release build

The release mode is controlled by CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

will use optimization flags such as -O3 (default).

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

enables debug flags.

Supported operating systems and compilers

  • Linux + gcc 9.2.0 + MKL 2021.4
  • MacOS 10.15 + Apple clang 12.0 + MKL 2021 (MKL 2021.4 required for pip install)
  • MacOS 10.15 + icpc 2021.1 + MKL 2021
  • Windows 10 + Visual Studio 2019 (MSVC 14.28) + MKL 2021

Sometimes, when you have to use block2 together with other python modules (such as pyscf or pyblock), it may have some problem coexisting with each other. In general, change the import order may help. For pyscf, import block2 at the very beginning of the script may help. For pyblock, recompiling block2 use cmake .. -DUSE_MKL=OFF -DBUILD_LIB=ON -OMP_LIB=SEQ -DLARGE_BOND=ON may help.

Usage

The code can either be used as a binary executable or through python interface.

The following are some examples using the python interface.

GS-DMRG

Test Ground-State DMRG (need pyscf module):

python3 -m pyblock2.gsdmrg

FT-DMRG

Test Finite-Temperature (FT)-DMRG (need pyscf module):

python3 -m pyblock2.ftdmrg

LT-DMRG

Test Low-Temperature (LT)-DMRG (need pyscf module):

python3 -m pyblock2.ltdmrg

GF-DMRG

Test Green's-Function (GF)-DMRG (DDMRG++) (need pyscf module):

python3 -m pyblock2.gfdmrg

SI-DMRG

Test State-Interaction (SI)-DMRG (need pyscf module):

python3 -m pyblock2.sidmrg

StackBlock Compatibility

A StackBlock 1.5 compatible user interface can be found at pyblock2/driver/block2main. This script can work as a replacement of the StackBlock binary, with a few limitations and some extensions. The format of the input file dmrg.conf is identical to that of StackBlock 1.5. See docs/driver.md and docs/source/user/basic.rst for detailed documentations for this interface. Examples using this interface can be found at tests/driver.

Input File (block2 style)

Example input file for binary executable build/block2:

rand_seed = 1000
memory = 4E9
scratch = ./scratch

pg = c1
fcidump = data/HUBBARD-L16.FCIDUMP
n_threads = 4
qc_type = conventional

# print_mpo
print_mpo_dims
print_fci_dims
print_mps_dims

bond_dims = 500
noises = 1E-6 1E-6 0.0

center = 0
dot = 2

n_sweeps = 10
tol = 1E-7
forward = 1

noise_type = perturbative
trunc_type = physical

To run this example:

./build/block2 input.txt

Using C++ Interpreter cling

Since block2 is designed as a header-only C++ library, it can be conveniently executed using C++ interpreter cling (which can be installed via anaconda) without any compilation. This can be useful for testing small changes in the C++ code.

Example C++ code for cling can be found at tests/cling/hubbard.cl.
