PSI3 Workshop, March 2001
In mid-March of 2001, researchers
from Georgia Tech and Sandia National Laboratories came to Virginia Tech
for the first in a series of quantum chemistry workshops on
quantum
chemistry. The workshop, which was held in
Daniel Crawford's lab in Davidson Hall at Virginia Tech, was attended
by Prof. C. David Sherrill and Dr. Edward F. Valeev from the
Department
of Chemistry at
Georgia
Tech, and Drs. Matt Leininger and Curt Janssen with
Sandia
National Laboratory's Computational Sciences and Mathematics Research
Department in Livermore, California. The workshop participants are
all developers on the quantum chemical software packages known as
PSI3 and
Massively
Parallel Quantum Chemistry (MPQC). The workshop discussions
focused
on the currently capabilities of the two packages, the status of each as
a development platform for new quantum chemical models, and our future
plans.
