Pull request overview
This PR introduces significant performance optimizations to the charge equilibration (QEq) solver by parallelizing the computationally expensive matrix construction phase and refactoring the SCF loop to minimize redundant calculations. The changes leverage the rayon crate for data parallelism and separate geometry-invariant computations from charge-dependent iterations.
Key Changes:
- Parallelized off-diagonal matrix element calculations using rayon's parallel iterators
- Refactored SCF loop to pre-compute geometry-invariant system components before iteration
- Updated development and CLI dependencies to more recent versions

Summary:
Significantly enhances the performance of the
cheqsolver through parallelization and algorithmic refinements. The computationally intensive construction of the off-diagonal matrix elements (shielded Coulomb integrals) is now parallelized usingrayon, dramatically reducing setup time for large molecular systems. Additionally, the core SCF loop has been refactored to separate geometry-invariant computations from the iterative charge updates, minimizing redundant calculations and improving overall efficiency.Changes:
Parallelized Off-Diagonal Matrix Construction:
rayoncrate to enable data parallelism.J_ijshielded Coulomb integrals, which constitutes the majority of the matrix build time, is now performed in parallel across all atom pairs.Optimized the Self-Consistent Field (SCF) Loop:
InvariantSystemstruct now stores the base matrix, the right-hand-side vector, and metadata about hydrogen atoms.Improved Numerical Efficiency:
(pi - pj).powi(2)instead of(pi - pj) * (pi - pj), which can offer minor performance gains in some compiler versions.max_charge_deltacalculation to use a more direct and potentially fasterfoldoperation over the charge differences.Dependency Updates:
rayonas a new core dependency.
