Software

We estimate that well over 80% of CPU cycles spent in ab initio computations are used in optimizing geometries at the SCF or DFT levels,and in computing molecular properties, such as vibrational frequencies and NMR chemical shifts. Such calculations are extremely well suited for parallel implementation. Shifting them to an inexpensive and fast parallel machine can free up expensive workstations for more demanding calculations. PQS software, preinstalled on our QuantumCubeTM computers, is particularly efficient for MP2 single-point energies, SCF and DFT geometry optimization, vibrational frequencies and NMR chemical shifts. For a detailed description of our current software see capabilities.

Linux

    Available in two formats: RPM (Redhat Package Manager) and TAR (TARball). For installation instructions please refer to the README file.

    ** The trial versions are free to download and do not require a license. They are somewhat limited in functionality. See below.

    Large Cluster Installations

    Custom parallel versions of PQS ab initio are available for easy installation (RPM) on HPC clusters using fast network interconnects, such as Infiniband. Currently we support several versions of MPI including QLogic, TopSpin, OpenMPI, MVAPICH. We are constantly working to port the program to other MPI implementations. Please contact us at tech@pqs-chem.com to request a custom version.

Windows

    Available in MSI (MicroSoft Installer) format. For installation instructions please refer to the README file. PQS and PQSMol are bundled into a single package.

We are working continuously on expanding the capabilities of our software and will provide free updates for two years to all purchasers of our QuantumCubeTM systems.

Note: The trial version of PQSMol does not allow the user to save molecules or to launch jobs. Please refer to the PQS manual (page 135) for instructions on how to run PQS jobs from the command line. Calculations are limited to no more than 25 atoms and 100 basis functions.
