Thanks for the feedback! Benchmark (1000 q-vectors, 1000 atoms, 1000 rotations) for the original cpuscatter function prior to including ADPs:
$ time ./cputest
CPP OUTPUT:
0.000000
0.000000
real 0m11.691s
user 0m11.682s
sys 0m0.008s
For the original ADP implementation, it clocked in at:
$ time ./cputest
CPP OUTPUT:
0.000000
0.000000
real 0m18.371s
user 0m18.366s
sys 0m0.004s
I revised this function so that Debye-Waller factors are pre-computed in the first nested loop (which loops over q-vectors) rather than in the third nested loop. However, the improvement in speed is marginal:
$ time ./cputest
CPP OUTPUT:
0.000000
0.000000
real 0m16.515s
user 0m16.511s
sys 0m0.003s
I only revised the CPU code, as a comment in cpp_scatter.cu indicates that caching pre-computed Debye-Waller factors could pose memory problems for the GPU version.
