Dear Sirs,

Thank you for the link and the excerpt! So GDIIS is really effective that it is the default for Firefly 8... Does anyone know when will be the release of the manual?

Gratefully,
Leira

GDIIS (geometry optimization using direct inversion in the iterative sub-space) is
an extrapolation method analogous to the DIIS method used for the wavefunction 
optimization. The implementation used in Firefly is unique and uses ideas presented in 
references 5 and 6. GDIIS is usually superior to RFO and QA, especially on flat regions 
on the PES. For this reason, it is the default optimizer.
