The authors provide a brief overview of electronic structure theory and detail their experiences implementing quantum chemistry methods on a graphical processing unit. They also analyze algorithm performance in terms of floating-point operations and memory bandwidth, and assess the adequacy of single-precision accuracy for quantum chemistry applications.
