I report results of a density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) study of a model for the two-dimensional spin-gapped system CaV4O9. This study represents the first time that DMRG has been used to study a two-dimensional system on large lattices, in this case as large as 24\ifmmode×\else\texttimes\fi11, allowing extrapolation to the thermodynamic limit. I present a substantial improvement to the DMRG algorithms which makes these calculations feasible.
