  • I am interested in this area of research.

    What software was used?

    Are you remotely connecting to a HPC or using a PC?

    Thanks,

  • Hi there,

    We were writing our own software to work out our "initial guesses" at the structures - it's quick and runs fine on a PC.

    But to then do the proper calculations, work out where all the electrons and atoms really want to go (a full 'quantum chemistry' calculation), we use a HPC (high performance computer) - typically we run calculations on the equivalent of about 8PCs together.

    The code we use is based on 'density functional theory', the one we work with is called AIMPRO.

    Chris

  • Thanks,

    In what language do you code for the PC?

  • we were coding in fortran. You see a windows PC in the video but we were remotely log in into a Unix machine

    Irene
