Abstract: | A new parallel algorithm has been developed for calculating the analytic energy derivatives of full accuracy second order Møller‐Plesset perturbation theory (MP2). Its main projected application is the optimization of geometries of large molecules, in which noncovalent interactions play a significant role. The algorithm is based on the two‐step MP2 energy calculation algorithm developed recently and implemented into the quantum chemistry program, GAMESS. Timings are presented for test calculations on taxol (C47H51NO14) with the 6‐31G and 6‐31G(d) basis sets (660 and 1032 basis functions, 328 correlated electrons) and luciferin (C11H8N2O3S2) with aug‐cc‐pVDZ and aug‐cc‐pVTZ (530 and 1198 basis functions, 92 correlated electrons). The taxol 6‐31G(d) calculations are also performed with up to 80 CPU cores. The results demonstrate the high parallel efficiency of the program. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2007 |
