We present a high-precision all-electron RT-TDDFT implementation using numerical atom-centered orbital (NAO) basis functions into FHI-aims. First, RT-TDDFT results are validated against linear-response TDDFT results for the molecules of Thiel’s test set and the importance of basis augmentation for adequate convergence is confirmed. Adopting a velocity-gauge formalism, dielectric properties of crystalline materials are calculated. Taking advantage of the all-electron full-potential implementation, we present applications to soft X-ray spectra of H2O using hybrid functionals. Moreover, numerical performance tests are presented showing almost linear scaling on parallel computers.
