Hi Christos,

I noticed this when I first tested parallel GAMESS on machines here.  Increasing the 'shmmax' parameter for the system seemed to help the problem.  Linux systems usually have this value set too low to be useful.  A value of 256mb seemed for work best for me.  Instructions on how to change the parameter can be found in the GAMESS installation documentation.  

Cheers,

Seth

Dear Colleagues,

I am interested in using the PEACH program to carry out Fragment Molecular Orbital calculations and to produce GAMESS input for similar calculations.  However, the only documentation I can find for PEACH is in japanese.  Does an english version exist?

Cheers,

Seth

Dear netters:

Which are the most appropriate methods to add the dynamical correlation to
CASSCF optimized geometries?

CASPT2 is used frequently, but Gaussian and Gamess do not include it.
Gaussian uses CASSCF-MP2. Is this method reliable?
Gamess uses other methods as the multiconfigurational quasi-degenerate
secondorder perturbation theory (MCQDPT2) and the CASSCF second-order
configuration interaction (CASSCF-SOCI) theory. What about these two methods?

I ask for advices.

Tnanks

Dear colleagues,

I hope that you will participate in the upcoming
10th Electronic Computational Chemistry Conference
at http://eccc.monmouth.edu. We have extended the
deadline for contributions to Tuesday, February 1
in order to encourage the greatest possible participation.

We are pleased to announce that for the first time,
ECCC10 will feature an award program. The
award program is primarily intended for
scientists in the early stages of their careers,
including graduate and undergraduate students,
postdoctoral fellows, and investigators who are
in the first few years of a long-term appointment.
We also want to especially encourage contributions
> from scientists who are working in developing countries.

There will be at least two awards given in
recognition of the most Outstanding
Scientific Presentation. In addition,
one award will be given to the authors
of the Best Multimedia Presentation.
This presentation will be the one which best
reflects the online nature of the ECCC conference
and makes the most effective use of multimedia
to enhance the presentation of the scientific content.
The recipients of these awards will be decided
by the Scientific Organizing Committee.

Two well-known software companies, Parallel Quantum Solutions
(http://www.pqs-chem.com) and Schrodinger (http://www.schrodinger.com)
have generously provided prizes to the ECCC10 Award winners. PQS plans
to provide their PQS quantum chemistry software and a perpetual license
on the same hardware. Schrodinger plans to provide a
one-year license for a selection of three computing modules plus the
Maestro GUI (please note that some contributors may possibly not be
eligible for software prizes if there are governmental restrictions
beyond our control). We are extremely grateful to PQS and Schrodinger
for their generous sponsorship of the ECCC and their
support to the international computational chemistry community.

For the SOC,
Robert Topper

All:

I'm on an SGI Fuel running IRIX 6.5.24, and I'm trying
to use Dials and Windows to analyze a trajectory of a
DNA with a spin-labeled thymidine in it. I've used
DANDW for similar analyses in the past, and to get it
to run I've only had to modify the starting structure
(a pdb file) by renaming the labeled base to DT, and
I've had no problems. However, this time when I run
DANDW I get a message that says "Not all base atoms
can be located" and then the program dies. Here is a
copy of the csh file I source to run the program:

#!/bin/csh -f
# molecule description
#       setenv  molecular_topology_file "prmtop"
        setenv dna_or_protein dna
        setenv sequence "CGCGAATTCGCG"
        setenv  number_of_strands "2"
        setenv  nucleotide "12"
	
        setenv  start_time "0.0"
        setenv  time_interval "1.0"
        setenv  frequency "15"

# file input description
# first structure file (for008) will be a pdb
# additional files (for009 ... for058) will be GROMOS
dynamics
# or AMBER crd files
# there is box info (constant_pressure yes)
        setenv  coord_format pdb
        setenv  trajectory_file_format "Dynamics"
        setenv  include_first yes
        setenv  skip_coordinate_set 0
        setenv  stop_coordinate_set 90000000 
        setenv  constant_pressure yes
	setenv  draw_structures Yes

# list all the input structural files
# the first is a pdb file.  All additional
# crd's must have the same number of atoms and the
# atoms in the same order as the pdb file

        # this is a canonical B-DNA starting structure

   setenv for007 "./dd_sru2.pdb"
   setenv for008 "./dd_sru_md_prod_nowi.traj"
    

/usr/local/MDTools_2.0/mdtc2.0.001/src/solute/exe/dials_and_windows_dna

<endfile>

The trajectory and the starting structure contain the
same number of atoms; I checked to make sure. I also
tried including a prmtop file, but that had no effect.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might
remedy this? If I've left out any crucial information,
please let me know.

Thanks,
Robyn Ayscue
