Hi CCLers,
I am planning to build a workstation with an AMD Athlon 64 Processor
(3400+ to be specific). My university has a site-license for Gaussian
03, but we do not have the source code (at least I do not believe we
do).
I have binaries available for Intel and AMD 32-bit architecture under
Linux. Supposedly, the Athlon 64 processors can run 32 bit and 64 bit
applications. I was wondering if anyone has had experience running
32-bit Gaussian binaries on one of these 64-bit(32-bit compatible)
systems.
I am not so much worried about optimizing performance of Gaussian, as
I
am in the operability of GaussView and Gaussian itself. I am planning
to
run the calculations on a separate cluster, unless they are small or
test calculations that could be handled by a single CPU efficiently.
Please include what OS you are using in the reply. I would likely
choose
Fedora Core 1 for AMD64 as my platform, although I am open to
suggestions for alternatives.
Thank you all!
