Subject: PC GAMESS version 5.2 is available
X-Mailer: MR/2 Internet Cruiser Edition for OS/2 v1.60 b60 (Unregistered)

Dear GAMESS users,

   New PC GAMESS version 5.2 has been released and is currently available from
the PC GAMESS www and ftp sites (soon it will also be available from the 
official GAMESS www and ftp servers).

As compared to the previous public PC GAMESS version 5.1, the main new features
are as follows:

     It is now possible to run the PC GAMESS under Linux;

     New RHF MP4(SDTQ) (i.e., full MP4) energy module is added.
     It seems that the PC GAMESS implementation of MP3/MP4 energies is 
     the fastest among those currently available on Intel platform,
     see http://classic.chem.msu.su/gran/gamess/performance.html for details;

     The SMP scaling properties of MP3/MP4 calculations are improved
     considerably;

     The speed of MP2 gradient calculations for non-abelian symmetry groups
     is increased;

     The speed of Conjugated Gradient solver (used mainly during calculations
     of analytical second derivatives) is improved significantly;

     The Finite field module is changed to avoid reevaluations of 2-e integrals
     if possible;

     The ECP integrals module is rewritten to avoid numerical
     instability problems.

Hi Fred,
Just wanted to let you know that Curt Janssen is still 
maintaining (and improving) MPQC at Sandia. I know he 
has made several major improvements to the code over the 
last few years, so you should contact him to get the latest 
version. I believe his email address is: CLJANSS@sandia.gov

-Eric

Hello,
We've recently found the program MPQC (Massively Parallel Quantum 
Chemistry) by Curtis Janssen, et al., and some of the researchers (read:
graduate students) expressed an interest in it, due its support for
distributed parallel architecutures using MPI, excellent (theoretical)
scaling, and the use of the GNU Public License. (We have a strong Debian
movement at U. of C.)
However, the code seems to have frozen two years ago, the C++ is already
succumbing to software rot, and the authors are uncontactable.  Has anyone
done any work on this package, or know its present status?  Under the GPL,
we could theoretically start banging on it (at least move it from libg++
to libstdc++), but I'd like to know what its authors' plans are first.

The "EUMP2" energy I got is the same both when scrf=pcm,etc. is in the
command line and when it isn't. Also according to the g94 manual PCM and
MP2 are available together: I think it's an old documentation bug.
Btw this is not the only sloppy point of the g98 manual about the PCM 
method: e.g. only a few of the variables that can be set with the "read"
option are actually listed. To find out the true capabilities of the
program you must open the source code and know Italian. :-O

Hello everybody.

Given a potential energy function of a molecular system, are there any 
software available which can locate the transition state?.   I remember 
that a similar question has been posted in this list before.  
However I could not locate the replies. Can anybody give me some 
pointers, please?. Thank you very much for your replies.

Subject: clustering of a huge number of conformations
To: CHEMISTRY@www.ccl.net
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Dear all,

I have a huge number of conformations to cluster (~60k). Since all
clustering algorithm that I know need to calculate pair-wise distances
between every two conformations, it will be an unsurmountable big space
for my computer's memory (14.4G). I figured out an alternative way to
implement it, but the clutering result was found not a optimal
solution, i.e. for example, 260 clusters were generated by my way
instead of the expected 236 clusters generated by the original
algorithm.

I would appreciate receiving any of your knowledge on this subject.

calculated with CHARMM.

Thanks in advance.
