We present an efficient algorithm for one- and two-component relativistic exact-decoupling calculations. Spin-orbit coupling is thus taken into account for the evaluation of relativistically transformed (one-electron) Hamiltonian. As the relativistic decoupling transformation has to be evaluated with primitive functions, the construction of the relativistic one-electron Hamiltonian becomes the bottleneck of the whole calculation for large molecules. For the established exact-decoupling protocols, a minimal matrix operation count is established and discussed in detail. Furthermore, we apply our recently developed local DLU scheme [D. Peng and M. Reiher, J. Chem. Phys. 136, 244108 (2012)] https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4729788 to accelerate this step. With our new implementation two-component relativistic density functional calculations can be performed invoking the resolution-of-identity density-fitting approximation and (Abelian as well as non-Abelian) point group symmetry to accelerate both the exact-decoupling and the two-electron part. The capability of our implementation is illustrated at the example of silver clusters with up to 309 atoms, for which the cohesive energy is calculated and extrapolated to the bulk.
