Test 1, single-point direct DFT (B3LYP) energy plus gradient for medium-size system (623 basis functions). View image

Test 2, single-point semiempirical (PM3) energy plus gradient for large system (540 atoms, 2160 basis functions). View image

Test 3, single-point direct MP2 energy for medium-size system (623 basis functions, the same system as one used for Test 1). View image

Test 4, single-point two-state MCQDPT2 energy with ISA energy denominators shift for small model system. View image

Test 5, single-point direct CASSCF(12,12) for medium-size system (retinal molecule, cc-pVDZ, 565 Cartesian basis functions) using ALDET code. View image

Test 6, single-point direct CIS energy plus gradient of first excited state of medium-size system (porphyrin molecule, cc-pVTZ (aug-cc on Nitrogens), 1130 Cartesian basis functions, D_2h group). View image

Tests 2, 4, as well as standard MP4 benchmark were run in multithreaded mode, other tests were run in standard parallel mode using dynamic load balancing over p2p interface. Call64 switch was turned on for all tests for faster processing. Note that test 2 does not scale well mainly due to limitations of the PC GAMESS' semiempirical code, while test 4 would scale much better for larger job. CPU or Wall clock times are given on master node in seconds.
