Dear ccl-netters,


I have a quad-core computer on which I have submitted Gaussian program under windows.

I tried to use the four processors in the computer by putting %nproc=4. However, when I
checked the task manager, I see only one processor is running.

Anyone has idea how to make use of the four processors?

Thank you

In fact, we use it in our lab. On Windows, you should check the "performance" rather than "processes" on task manager. If performance is 100% or around it then (I think) the program uses all the four processors. And by the way, you can also compare the time taken to complete by running same job (1) by using and then (2) without using the %nproc keyword. I hope your machine will take shorter time in the first case. Hope it'll help.

The abstract submission window and early registration period closes on THIS FRIDAY May 4, so register soon! We would also encourage all conference attendees to consider attending the associated Q-Chem workshop, to be held immediately prior to the start of MWTCC. MWTCC will be held June 7-9, 2012 on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The conference will begin in the early evening of Thursday, June 7, and around noon on Saturday, June 9. Registration information and abstract submission are now available online at: http://www.mwtcc.org The conference registration fee is $70 for students, postdocs and faculty. The abstract submission window and early registration period closes on May 4, so please make sure to register soon! An additional $30 fee will be assessed for all registrations after this date. This fee includes all meals during the conference period (excluding dinner on Thursday, June 7th). Note the attendees must register separately for both the conference and for housing! We would also like to bring your attention to another opportunity in conjunction with MWTCC. One of the conference sponsors, Q-Chem Inc., will hold a workshop immediately prior to the start of MWTCC, the afternoon of June 7th. Q-Chem is a comprehensive ab initio package and the recent release of Q-Chem 4.0 includes many of the latest developments in quantum methodology.

I understand that TD-DFT can be used for calculating excited states and things like UV-vis spectra, after a cursory review of the literature I have found some papers dealing with calculation of excited states of fluorescent molecules, but as far as predicting if a molecule will *actually* fluoresce, I don't know how to calculate this, or even if it is possible. The species of interest are around 300 amu, so probably I will not be able to do some super-duper cc-pV5Z calculations or the like. Any pointers?

While many solid state codes are able to compute frequencies (possibly with the aid of an external lattice dynamics driver program) there are few which can calculate activity. The only ones known to me are CASTEP (Disclosure: I and Phil Hasnip are developers of CASTEP), Quantum Espresso (mentioned by Rafal Korlacki) and also ABINIT. According to its website, VASP does not have the capability to compute Raman activities. With 60 atoms in the unit cell, benzoic acid should be within range for a medium to large compute cluster, and smaller than some I have done using CASTEP. Quantum Espresso does use a more efficient method, although we are working on a faster implementation.

August 2011 (can't find my original message). I was specifically interested in the availability of small molecule data sets with measured fluorescence to be used to create pattern recognition type models e.g., number of conjugated double bonds, attached EDGs or EWGs, number of aromatic rings, etc., rather than trying to use semi-empirical, ab initio, DFT, or some other (more) computationally intense method. I think it is clear that prediction of fluorescence might be helpful as a flag or warning with respect to results from HTS assays and might help avoid assay artifacts. Hence, if you or someone knows of published, quality data in this regard, I am still very interested. Thank you.

Victor,

Regarding the prediction of fluorescence, I asked this question from a slig= htly different angle in approx. August 2011 (can't find my original mes= sage). =A0I was specifically interested in the availability of small molecu= le data sets with measured fluorescence to be used to create pattern recogn= ition type models e.g., number of conjugated double bonds, attached
EDGs or EWGs, number of aromatic rings, etc., rather than trying to use sem= i-empirical, ab initio, DFT, or some other (more) computationally intense m= ethod.

I think it is clear that prediction of fluorescence might be helpful as a f= lag or warning with respect to results from HTS assays and might help avoid= assay artifacts.

Hence, if you or someone knows of published, quality data in this regard, I= am still very interested.

Thank you.

Jim Metz

Dear ccl-n= etters,


I have a quad-core computer on which I have submitted Gaussian prog= ram under windows.

I tried to use the four processors in the compute= r by putting %nproc=3D4. However, when I
checked the task manager, I see= only one processor is running.

Anyone has idea how to make use of the four processors?

Thank yo= u
