From DSMITH@uoft02.utoledo.edu Sat Nov 3 04:24:58 1992 Date: 03 Nov 1992 08:24:58 -0400 (EDT) From: "DR. DOUGLAS A. SMITH, UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO" Subject: Re: ECPs, transition metals, and parallel computing To: CUNDARIT%MEMSTVX1.BITNET@OHSTVMA.ACS.OHIO-STATE.EDU Maybe I am not the one to talk about this - but there is a Grand Challenges project at the OSC which involves researchers from around the state and around the country. IBM has loaned OSC a Power Visualization System (PVS) which seems aptly suited for moderately parallel computing. Dave Heisterberg of OSC, with help from persons at IBM (I don't know names so I can't give credit) have ported HONDO 8 to this platform. I understand that Rod Bartlett's group is supposed to be porting ACES II. Would the Principles care to further elaborate? Oh, by the way, what do the netters thing of parallel MOPAC? My group is working on this. Doug Smith Assistant Professor of Chemistry The University of Toledo Toledo, OH 43606-3390 voice 419-537-2116 fax 419-537-4033 email dsmith@uoft02.utoledo.edu
