538. KGNMOL-1989: Ab-Initio Gaussian-Based MO SCF System

by G. Corongiu, E. Clementi and S. Chakravorty, IBM Corporation, Department 48B, MS 428, Kingston, New York 12401

The program package KGNMOL-1989 is an extension of the KGNMOL package made available to QCPE in 1988. The atomic package present in KGNMOL-1988 is not included in this package; users in need of it will have to make use of KGNMOL-1988. The present package is comprised of sub-programs derived and adapted from previous programs documented by P. Habitz and E. Clementi (Comp. Phys. Comm. 29, 301, 1983), E. Ortoleva, G. Castiglione and E. Clementi (Comp. Phys. Comm., 12, 337, 1980), R. D. Davies and E. Clementi (J. Comp. Phys. 1, 223, 1966). The present version is detailed in two chapters of the volume MOTECC-89 (Editor, E. Clementi, ESCOM Science Publishers, Leiden, 1989), precisely Chapter 6 by E. Clementi and G. Corongiu "KGNMOL: A Program for Molecular Interactions" and Chapter 15 by E. Clementi, S. Chakravorty and G. Corongiu, "Electron Correlation Energy from Hartree-Fock-Type Densities."

KGNMOL-89 consists of the following programs: a) a molecular one-electron program b) a molecular two- electron program c) a molecular SCF-closed- and open- shell program d) an MP2 program e) a one-electron properties program:Mulliken Analysis, dipole, quadrupole, electric field, etc. f) a density functional program to compute electronic correlation correction following Chakravorty-Clementi or Lie- Clementi or Colle-Salvetti or Colle-Salvetti-Caravetta or Vosko-Wielk-Nusair or Gunnarson-Lundquist or Perdew- Zunger functionals and g) contour density file for graphical display.

The input of this package has been considerably simplified by the definition of standard "computation routes", the availability of standard basis sets available in a basis-set library, and the automatic computation of Basis Set Superposition Error. We are now in the process of finishing new input using window techniques especially adapted for PC, RT and workstations. KGNMOL-1989 works from workstations to clusters of supercomputers. The smallest memory requirement is 5 Mb. KGNMOL is an open-ended program: presently the largest molecular system computed is a stack of 12 Guanine-Cytosine base-pairs (with no symmetry) namely a system with 348 atoms, 1632 electrons described with a (7/3) basis set, i.e., 4128 primitives (contracted to 1260 functions).

The system uses routines from the IBM Engineering and Scientific Subroutine Library (ESSL), but in the source code there are standard FORTRAN equivalent routines "COMMENTED". The present code has been only partially vectorized but, even so, it appears to be as fast as most ab intio codes. Of course it remains the fastest code for the computation of energy surfaces for two interacting molecules because of the special "Add" feature.

The "routes" define a fixed sequence of computational steps which occur frequently. For example, the sequence of computations needed to obtain the SCF energy of a molecule (which entails the evaluation of one-electron integrals, of two-electron integrals and the SCF procedure) is summarized in one route step called MOLSCF.

The use of the basis-set library is also very simple. Each of the stored basis sets (for both the integral evaluation input and the construction of an atomic- density guess in the SCF program) can be referenced by two input records. The library spans the atoms from H to Sr (including the transition metals and some selected ions) and a large variety of basis sets of different quality (from minimum to DZ and TZ and some with polarized functions). All basis sets in the library can be augmented by defining additional functions in the input stream.The standard polarization exponents defined by Pople et al. can be invoked automatically and need not be typed in.

NOTE:Because of its size this system will be distributed on its own multi-file unlabeled magnetic tape.

Editor's Note: Both versions of KGNMOL are available from QCPE. Should you require the atomic package, simply be sure to specify KGNMOL- 1988 (QCPE 538/1988) in your order.
