## Executive Summary

`mopac_rs` is a ground-up architectural reimagining and rigorous modernization of the classic **MOPAC** (Molecular Orbital PACkage) quantum chemistry engine. Translated from legacy Fortran into idiomatic, zero-overhead **Rust**, it replaces decades of non-contiguous global arrays, static buffers, and triangular packing with a strictly **Data-Oriented Programming (DOP)** architecture.

Every single module, parameter table, and integral calculation is empirically verified against **OpenMOPAC v23.2.5** references to rigorous double-precision tolerances.

---

## Architectural Pillars

* **Data-Oriented Memory Layout (SoA):** Contiguous, 64-byte cache-line aligned Struct of Arrays (`MolecularBatch`) eliminating pointer-chasing and non-contiguous matrix indexing.
* **Zero-Allocation Inner Loop Policy (`0 malloc`):** Pre-allocated reusable workspaces (`ScfWorkspace`, `UhfWorkspace`, `GradientWorkspace`, `CosmoState`, `IrcWorkspace`, `DrcWorkspace`, `MeciWorkspace`, `PbcWorkspace`) ensure zero heap allocations during iterative Roothaan-Hall / Pople-Nesbet SCF cycles and dual Pulay DIIS extrapolations.
* **Dual Compute Backend:**
  - **CPU SIMD:** Vectorized AVX2 / FMA kernels with Rayon multi-threaded parallelism.
  - **Universal GPU (Vulkan Compute):** Cross-vendor hardware acceleration supporting NVIDIA RTX, AMD Radeon, Intel Arc, and Apple Silicon (via MoltenVK) with dedicated DMA host-to-device GDDR6 VRAM batch management.
* **Axiomatic Verification:** 89 automated scrutiny, unit, quantum theorem, and differential oracle tests validating physical invariance, rotation orthonormality, translational symmetry, and exact numerical parity against OpenMOPAC.

## Hardware Execution & GPU Dispatch Policy

A key architectural insight in quantum chemistry is the trade-off between **SIMD latency** and **discrete GPU dispatch overhead**:

* **Small-to-Medium Molecules ($N < 150$ atoms):**
  - Evaluated on the **CPU SIMD (AVX2 / FMA + Rayon)** backend.
  - With zero PCIe/DMA overhead and sub-millisecond execution times ($< 1\text{ -- }10\text{ ms}$ per SCF cycle), CPU execution strictly outperforms GPU dispatch for single molecules.
* **Macromolecules & Batched Screening ($N > 200$ atoms or $M \ge 300$ conformations):**
  - Evaluated on the **Universal Vulkan GPU** backend.
  - Pipelined host-to-device asynchronous GDDR6 memory transfers saturate thousands of FP32/FP64 GPU shader compute cores, amortizing Vulkan command buffer submission latency and delivering order-of-magnitude throughput scaling for high-throughput virtual screening (HTVS) and macromolecular assemblies.
