Molpro is a complete system of ab initio programs for molecular electronic structure calculations, designed and maintained by H.-J. Werner and P. J. Knowles, and containing contributions from a number of other authors. As distinct from other commonly used quantum chemistry packages, the emphasis is on highly accurate computations, with extensive treatment of the electron correlation problem through the multiconfiguration-reference CI, coupled cluster and associated methods. Using recently developed integral-direct local electron correlation methods, which significantly reduce the increase of the computational cost with molecular size, accurate ab initio calculations can be performed for much larger molecules than with most other programs.

• Version: 2006.1
• Machines: Arches
• Location: /uufs/arches/sys/molpro-serial/bin

Information:

To get details of the functionality of Molpro along with access to the User's Manual go to www.molpro.net. There are several example input files in /uufs/arches/sys/molpro-serial/bench. Currently the program only works in the serial manner. I will add additional information when I get the parallel version running.

To Use:

A csh file that can be sourced to set the necessary environment variables for molpro to run is located at:

/uufs/arches/sys/molpro-serial/etc/molpro.csh

Below is an example PBS scripts for serial molpro jobs on any of the arches clusters.
