Last Update: 02-19-2001

Description:
NWChem is a computational chemistry package that is designed to run on high-performance parallel supercomputers as well as conventional workstation clusters. It aims to be scalable both in its ability to treat large problems efficiently, and in its usage of available parallel computing resources. NWChem has been developed by the High-performance Computational Chemistry group of the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). Most of the implementation has been funded by the EMSL Construction Project. The suite utilizes parallel-programming tools developed by PNNL staff. Most of the tool and scalable algorithm development has been funded by the High Performance Computing and Communications Initiative (HPCCI) grand-challenge software program and the DOE-2000 ACTS Tools project. Tools used in NWChem include Global Array Library Memory Allocator ARMCI PEIGS FFT3D Chemio TCGMSG and/or MPI
