running Firefly in extended XP mode with eight cores per each XP group and assuming 50 atomic molecule and single pass numgrad run you will
need 50*6 + 1 eight-core compute boxes i.e. 301*8 cores.

This is doable but very time-consuming. Look at the

>So, in principle it should be possible to do a geometry optimization for large systems (50-100 atoms) using numerical gradients with the extended XP mode if enough CPU-cores are available (to evaluate all the gradients at one bout). Otherwise there shouldn't be other obstacles, should they?
