The slowdown of the math-library is due to bug-fixes. The old glibc based
math-libs do have problems with wrong results for sqrt ( and others ) !

So you have to decide wether you use correct code or ( little ) faster code
that might produce wrong answers.

I would suggest to use the newest possible libm, if you are really for speed
you might consider recompiling it with optimization turned high (v.i.).

More important, there are replacement libraries for the more important math
routines, that are hand-optimized assembler. IIRC, one of them is based on code
Cray developed for their Alpha based machines. You can use both of them, since
each one only provides a subset of functions in the next slower one
(libm <- libfm <- libffm ) !
Look at http://people.frankfurt.netsurf.de/Joachim.Wesner/

Another important fact is the compiler to use. egcs-1.1pre is really stable for
me, you might consider using it since there are very usefull new optimization
passes. Also check your code and the compiler flags you are using, consider
-fno-exceptions, -fno-rtti, ... and all the other -m, -f, -O options and take
all these that will speed up your programs !

Hope it helps and you all get more power out of your Alpha-toys.
If you need some more info, feel free to ask
( Victoria, aren't you in D"usseldorf right now ? )

Dear CCLs,

I've got a problem understanding SPARTANS CI--output.  Imagine you are
performing a MNDO calculation on water. Orbitals 1 to 4 are doubly
occupied. Now you want to do singles and doubles configuration
interaction with orbitals 3 to 6 active.

For the ground state, Spartan gives the following CI-wavefunction 
(the complete output is given below):
                    
0         -0.998742     => that's the ground state (HF) determinant 
1          0.003359     => a singly excited determinant
3          0.003359     => a singly excited determinant 
9          0.017222     => a doubly excited determinant
12         0.032083     => a doubly excited determinant
23         0.031287     => a doubly excited determinant
26         0.013703     => a doubly excited determinant

Thus the _singly_ excited determinants 1 and 3 enter the groundstate
wavefunction with 0.003359. How's that possible?

Thank's for your help

Michael

Dear sirs,

I'm interested in the calculation of an impurity embedded in the 
solid or the electron gas, employing both the local gaussian 
type basis functions and non-local plane-wave basis functions. 
I want to know how to evaluate the matrix elements of the one-electron 
nuclear-repulsion operator between the gaussian function and the 
plane-wave such as <exp(-z|r-R_p|^2)|Z_a/r_a|exp(ikr)>, 
where R_p, r_a, and r indicates the center of the gaussian, 
electron-nuclear distance, and position vector of the electron 
originating from arbitrary origin (which is generally different 
from R_p or R_a), as well as the two-electron exchange integral 
between the gaussian and the plane-wave such as 

int(dr1dr2) phi_a(r1)exp(-ik_ir1) r12^(-1) phi_b(r2)exp(ik_jr2)

where "phi" means gaussian basis function, a or b is index of 
phi, and i or j is index of plane-wave (wave vector). 
Any references are wellcome, and all replies will be summerized. 
Thanks in advance. 

                                     best regards,

Dear CCL,

Does anyone know of a freeware program for Unix or Windows that will
enable one to fit an IR spectrum to a series of Lorentzian peaks? 
Ideally, it should accept data as ascii x,y pairs (position, amplitude) 
and automatically generate an initial guess for band positions by doing
some kind of peak pick. 

Best wishes to all,

Greetings all,

I'm developing a new method for locating Global and Local minima
and interested to compare it with other methods in a mathematical 
sense initialy. I would appreciate any recomentations - functions
(single and multi variable) with well defined global and local minima,
that will be widely accepted as benchmark functions for messuring
the efficiency of an algorithm. Also I would wellcome any relevant 
data - refferences anyone wishes to share or recomend. 
My goal is to apply the algorithm for the refinement of protein models
using the AMBER forcefield.

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

  I have a question concerning the parameterization of simulation
forcefields, the size of the parameters, and the units.

  Forcefields are parameterized such that one gets energies in
kcal/mole (or kj/mole) even though one is simulating a number of
particles much less than Avogadro's number, so that the actual
energy is more like whatever number of kcal/mole/6.02 * 10 ** 23,
for example.

  As some examples of consequences of this way of parameterizing
forcefields, consider a simulation of N water molecules (my favorite!)
If one want to compare to the experimental potential energy (in
kcal/mole), one does not use the total energy of the N molecules
in the simulation, but the total energy/N.  Likewise, if one wanted
the heat capacity, that would involve differences of fluctuations
in the energy/particle, not the total computed energy of the system of
N molecules.

  My question is: does anyone know the exact reasons for or derivation
for the above methods (conventions?) of calculating properties from
simulations?  I am trying to explain this to someone who is very new
to simulation, but it seems like I "know what to do" by some process
of osmosis, and I do not remember being taught directly how to
calculate things like E or Cp, so I end up saying " I just know".
I am sure that there is a rational reason or process behind what
is done, I just can't make it clear.  Any explanations or references
would be most welcome.

  Thanks,

  Howard

Subject: CCL: Multideterminantal DFT



Recently the application of single-determinant KS theory to the
calculation of potential energy curves hace been critically analyzed in
Chem. Phys. Lett. 288 (1998), 418-422. Both the non-polarized and
restricted results show that the one-determinant approach is unable to
provide potential energy curves for the ground state. These deficiencies
can not be corrected by the correlation potential without explicitly
including a dependence on more Slater determinants (GVB-PP or more
advanced multiconfigurational wavefunction). The problem can be treated
from differents point of view, depending if you are interested in
applications or in the fundamentals. In order to obtain physically
acceptable results it is neccesary to include information about the
two-body density matrix in the coalescence point (also called on-top
pair density). This facts show clearly the many-determinant nature of
the problem. Nowadays there are several attempts to enhance the
knowledge about the sittuation together with the above mentioned article
and the previoulsy appeared in the CCL,

	- on-top pair density:

J.P.Perdew, A.Savin and K.Burke, Phys. Rev A 51 (1995), 4531.
F.Moscardo and A.J.Perez-Jimenez, Int. J. Quantum Chem. 67 (1998), 143.
	
	- combining multiconfigurational wavefunctions with DFT:

N.O.J.Malcom abd J.J.W.McDouall, Chem. Phys. Lett. 282 (1998), 121.
B.Miehlich, H.Stoll and A.Savin, Mol. Phys. 91 (1997), 527.
T.Leininger, H.Stoll, A.Savin, Chem. Phys. Lett. 275 (1997), 151

	I am very interested in this topic because is a main point in this
group, so I acknowledge to maintain an estimulating discussion through
this CCL. Thanks.

Subject: charges fro X-ray



All,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any work, etc. in extracting
quantities such as partially atomic charges, etc. from experimental
densities obtained by small molecule crystallography.  Also, if
anyone knows of any X-ray programs that do this or of any utilities
that extract information such as ESP's, etc., from the x-ray data that
can be passed into a standard QC code.

Thanks in advance, Bill

P.S. I know such quantities as partial atomic charges are not uniquely
defined, but, analogously to QC, for a given definition useful trends,
etc. may be deduced.

    !!! CALL FOR PAPERS 1999 Spring National ACS Meeting (March 21-25) !!!

    "Bridging the Gap between Modeling in Chemistry and Engineering" (COMP)

               >>>>> SUBMISSION DEADLINE November 9, 1998 <<<<<

Molecular modeling and simulation have reached levels of sophistication
and accuracy that make them increasingly useful and even essential tools
for chemists and chemical engineers.  At the same time, the methods,
capabilities, and limitations are often not yet well-known.  More
importantly, chemists and chemical engineers have evolved different
approaches to the problem and the communication between the two groups
is limited and inadequate.  As part of the 1999 Spring National ACS
Meeting (March 21-25) in Anahiem, a symposium will be held on "Bridging
the Gap between Modeling in Chemistry and Engineering".

The purpose of the symposium is to foster the development of an efficient
dialogue between practitioners in both chemistry and engineering modeling
which leads to real links that are exploitable to industrial, government,
and academic affairs.  The goal of the session is to educate potential,
novice, and expert modelers by emphasizing how methods and successes have
helped (or have the potential to help) the two fields.

Contributed papers should focus on applications and new developments that
highlight overlap with and support of other areas of modeling.  Feel free
to identify how modeling is implemented in your organization, share
achievements, and philosophize on future challenges or rewards.  It is
anticipated that the audience will consist of those who need to understand
possible uses and results and those who simply want to learn about the area.

We are seeking papers on the following topics: Thermochemistry, Kinetics,
Physical Properties, Catalysis, Forcefields, Process Screening, Solvation,
Adsorption, Polymers & Copolymers, Phase and Multicomponent Equilibria,
Surfactants, Materials, and Tools.

We strongly encourage you to submit a suitable paper for this session.
Papers will be accepted for review by contacting either one of us using the
information below.  The submission deadline is November 9, 1998 and should
include a title and abstract.

Please distribute this information to other researchers in industry,
academia, and national labs.  Thank you for your consideration.

I noticed that Gaussian 98 is now using the Portland Group Fortan
compiler rather than f2c/gcc.  When I did some tests, I was getting
about a 30% speed increase over f2c/gcc when testing with a program
which calculated overlap integrals over Slater orbitals.  This is a 
real rough estimate, so I would be curious as to the performance
increase with G98.

Subject: CCL: Multideterminantal DFT
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Recently the application of single-determinant KS theory to the
calculation of potential energy curves hace been critically analyzed in
Chem. Phys. Lett. 288 (1998), 418-422. Both the non-polarized and
restricted results show that the one-determinant approach is unable to
provide potential energy curves for the ground state. These deficiencies
can not be corrected by the correlation potential without explicitly
including a dependence on more Slater determinants (GVB-PP or more
advanced multiconfigurational wavefunction). The problem can be treated
from differents point of view, depending if you are interested in
applications or in the fundamentals. In order to obtain physically
acceptable results it is neccesary to include information about the
two-body density matrix in the coalescence point (also called on-top
pair density). This facts show clearly the many-determinant nature of
the problem. Nowadays there are several attempts to enhance the
knowledge about the sittuation together with the above mentioned article
and the previoulsy appeared in the CCL,

	- on-top pair density:

	I am very interested in this topic because is a main point in this
group, so I acknowledge to maintain an estimulating discussion through
this CCL. Thanks.

Dear Sirs, 

I am interested in the calculation of an impurity embedded in a 
solid or an elecron gas, employing both gaussian type functions (GTO) 
and plane-wave (PW) basis functions. 
I want to know how to evaluate the matrix elements of one-electron 
integral of nuclear-repulsion between the gaussian and the plane-wave 
such as 

      <phi_p(r)|Z_a/r_a|exp(ikr)>, 

as well as two-electron integrals, for example, the integral 
between the gaussian functions and the plane-waves such as

    int(dr1dr2) phi_a(r1)exp(ik_i r1)r12^(-1)exp(-k_j r2)phi_b(r2), 

where "phi_a" means a primitive gaussian function whose index is a, 
and "k_i" means wave vector whose index is i. 
Any references is welcome. All responses sill be summerized. 
Thanks in advance.

                                best regards,

Subject: charges fro X-ray
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit




All,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any work, etc. in extracting
quantities such as partially atomic charges, etc. from experimental
densities obtained by small molecule crystallography.  Also, if
anyone knows of any X-ray programs that do this or of any utilities
that extract information such as ESP's, etc., from the x-ray data that
can be passed into a standard QC code.

Thanks in advance, Bill

P.S. I know such quantities as partial atomic charges are not uniquely
defined, but, analogously to QC, for a given definition useful trends,
etc. may be deduced.

Are you using the optimzed libfm and libffm math libraries ?

The slowdown of the math-library is due to bug-fixes. The old glibc based
math-libs do have problems with wrong results for sqrt ( and others ) !

So you have to decide wether you use correct code or ( little ) faster code
that might produce wrong answers.

I would suggest to use the newest possible libm, if you are really for speed
you might consider recompiling it with optimization turned high (v.i.).

More important, there are replacement libraries for the more important math
routines, that are hand-optimized assembler. IIRC, one of them is based on code
Cray developed for their Alpha based machines. You can use both of them, since
each one only provides a subset of functions in the next slower one
(libm <- libfm <- libffm ) !
Look at http://people.frankfurt.netsurf.de/Joachim.Wesner/

Another important fact is the compiler to use. egcs-1.1pre is really stable for
me, you might consider using it since there are very usefull new optimization
passes. Also check your code and the compiler flags you are using, consider
-fno-exceptions, -fno-rtti, ... and all the other -m, -f, -O options and take
all these that will speed up your programs !

Hope it helps and you all get more power out of your Alpha-toys.
If you need some more info, feel free to ask
( Victoria, aren't you in D"usseldorf right now ? )

I'm trying to locate some parameters for thiophosphates (or

After a literature search I couldn't find anything useful.

Has anyone derived such parameters before? Are they willing to share?

Dear Sirs, 

I am interested in the calculation of an impurity embedded in a 
solid or an elecron gas, employing both gaussian type functions (GTO) 
and plane-wave (PW) basis functions. 
I want to know how to evaluate the matrix elements of one-electron 
integral of nuclear-repulsion between the gaussian and the plane-wave 
such as 

      <phi_p(r)|Z_a/r_a|exp(ikr)>, 

as well as two-electron integrals, for example, the integral 
between the gaussian functions and the plane-waves such as

    int(dr1dr2) phi_a(r1)exp(ik_i r1)r12^(-1)exp(-k_j r2)phi_b(r2), 

where "phi_a" means a primitive gaussian function whose index is a, 
and "k_i" means wave vector whose index is i. 
Any references is welcome. All responses sill be summerized. 
Thanks in advance.

                                best regards,

    !!! CALL FOR PAPERS 1999 Spring National ACS Meeting (March 21-25) !!!

    "Bridging the Gap between Modeling in Chemistry and Engineering" (COMP)

               >>>>> SUBMISSION DEADLINE November 9, 1998 <<<<<

Molecular modeling and simulation have reached levels of sophistication
and accuracy that make them increasingly useful and even essential tools
for chemists and chemical engineers.  At the same time, the methods,
capabilities, and limitations are often not yet well-known.  More
importantly, chemists and chemical engineers have evolved different
approaches to the problem and the communication between the two groups
is limited and inadequate.  As part of the 1999 Spring National ACS
Meeting (March 21-25) in Anahiem, a symposium will be held on "Bridging
the Gap between Modeling in Chemistry and Engineering".

The purpose of the symposium is to foster the development of an efficient
dialogue between practitioners in both chemistry and engineering modeling
which leads to real links that are exploitable to industrial, government,
and academic affairs.  The goal of the session is to educate potential,
novice, and expert modelers by emphasizing how methods and successes have
helped (or have the potential to help) the two fields.

Contributed papers should focus on applications and new developments that
highlight overlap with and support of other areas of modeling.  Feel free
to identify how modeling is implemented in your organization, share
achievements, and philosophize on future challenges or rewards.  It is
anticipated that the audience will consist of those who need to understand
possible uses and results and those who simply want to learn about the area.

We are seeking papers on the following topics: Thermochemistry, Kinetics,
Physical Properties, Catalysis, Forcefields, Process Screening, Solvation,
Adsorption, Polymers & Copolymers, Phase and Multicomponent Equilibria,
Surfactants, Materials, and Tools.

We strongly encourage you to submit a suitable paper for this session.
Papers will be accepted for review by contacting either one of us using the
information below.  The submission deadline is November 9, 1998 and should
include a title and abstract.

Please distribute this information to other researchers in industry,
academia, and national labs.  Thank you for your consideration.

I noticed that Gaussian 98 is now using the Portland Group Fortan
compiler rather than f2c/gcc.  When I did some tests, I was getting
about a 30% speed increase over f2c/gcc when testing with a program
which calculated overlap integrals over Slater orbitals.  This is a 
real rough estimate, so I would be curious as to the performance

Hi,

Several people asked me about the "optimized libraries" from
my previous posting -
> However, with the right, i.e., optimized libraries, we've found, e.g.,
> Gaussian 94 on a 500MHz Alpha/Linux box to be 2.5 times as fast as on a
> 400MHz Pentium II Linux system. 

Many of the matrix operations of G94, which consume a large part of 
the CPU cycles for many (most?) G94 jobs, are handled by library functions
of the BLAS3 type (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms, level 3).  In fact,
it is one single BLAS3 routine that is centrally used by G94, DGEMM
(Double-precision GEneral Matrix-Matrix).  On Digital Unix (DU), this
routine is part of DEC's proprietary DXML (Digital Extended Math
Library).

Kazushige Goto has hand-coded a DGEMM routine for 21164 CPUs in assembler,
and placed it under GNU Library Public License.  It is available at
ftp://ftp.eni.co.jp/.2/Linux-Alpha-JP/ftp.statabo.rim.or.jp/BLAS/
It has been clocked at 780 MFlops on a 600 MHz 21164 Alpha machine.
This version of DGEMM can be used to replace the one in DXML.  On 
Alpha/Linux, DXML doesn't run, so DXML has to be replaced there anyway.

A ready-made library, which can be used as a direct replacement for DXML
in G94 (edit alpha-osf1.make and recompile), has been placed by Bob
Williams in ftp://rw.usuf2.usuhs.mil/pub/libdgemm/
The fastest version there is libdgemm-980415-2-coff-gnu.a (37 Kb).

However, please note that in order to make a Alpha/Linux version of
G94, you still need a DU system for compilation, and quite a few other
requirements have to be fulfilled.  More on this can be found in
"Computational Chemistry on Commodity-Type Computers", Marc C. Nicklaus,
Robert W. Williams, Bruno Bienfait, Eric S. Billings, and Milan Hodoscek,
JCICS (in press), which also just came on-line on ACS's Web site at
http://pubs.acs.org/subscribe/journals/jcisd8/browse_asap.html.

Hope this helps,

Marc

Dear CCL

I have a question about calculating out of plane force constants. Is there
any experimental which can be used to derive these forces? or can we
calculate them? If yes how? 

Thanx for your help

Dear CCL,

	Does anybody have a freely available source code/algorithm for generating
carbon nano-tubes? The language is not important. I would appreciate any
pointers.
