3. April 17DoE review 3 Coupled Channels Sets  Coupled Channels Set For each total spin J and parity  For each target spin state I For partial wave combination | (ls)j, I, J  >  Solve coupled second-order differential equations Each J  set is independent  parallel computations No exchange: local couplings (so far) With exchange and/or transfers: nonlocal couplings (iteration, or basis expansion)

4. April 17DoE review 4 Complexity Estimates  RPA 90 Zr states up to 10, 20, 30 MeV Core states: # 19, 109, 279 Partial wave sets: # 97, 522, 1281 Local couplings: Do the 15 J  set s in parallel - 1 cpu-hour calculation.  Spreading of RPA states will be tested: Estimate: 3000 core states, 50 000 partial waves Scaling as N , so now ~ 60 000 hours.

5. April 17DoE review 5 CS ideas for improvements  Coupling matrices take up the space: N*N full matrices for each radius! Need CS for data generation & flow on multi-threaded nodes  Basis expansion methods, for non-local couplings R-matrix methods have been tested (M functions/channel) NM-square square matrix to solve: Linear equations for single energy, otherwise full diagonalisation needed Conjugate-gradient methods usable for single energy (in atomic scattering)  Replacing N coupled 2nd-order equations by 2N-parameter non-linear search optimisation (suggested by CS at Livermore) Derivatives from reverse-direction adjoint solutions Need best quadratic search methods Scaling properties N  may be different.
