Computational Chemistry In The 1950s To mark half a century of computational quantum chemistry, this account In Reviews in computational chemistry, Lipkowitz, KB, and Boyd, DB, Eds., http://www.chem.yorku.ca/profs/pritchard/PAPERS/history.html
Extractions: Dylan Thomas, "Eli Jenkins' Prayer" Longuet-Higgins' antipathy towards computers in chemistry at that time is well known, a ), could not possibly provide the same insight into atomic and molecular structure as one could derive from an orbital picture; b hence, I suspect that this initiative came from M. G. Evans. Within a few months, Longuet-Higgins left for a Chair of Theoretical Physics in London, and shortly thereafter for one in Theoretical Chemistry in Cambridge. Meanwhile, Frank Sumner, without guidance and finding his project intractable, came to me and asked if I would help; he provided me with a big fat Programmer's Manual and we got down to it together. Lacking much progress, we soon sought help from Alan Turing and Tony Brooker in the Computing Machine Laboratory and they advised us, rightly of course, to forget the contour integrals and attack the eigenvalue problem head-on. It seemed obvious at the time that we should make use of symmetry in order to reduce the sizes of the secular determinants that we wished to solve, but this led to the determinants being unsymmetric. Brooker was writing a Lanczos algorithm to reduce a matrix to its characteristic polynomial

Extractions: Chemistry at Caltech is steeped in a tradition of excellence alumnus Linus Pauling , awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954, revolutionized the field with his insights into the nature of the chemical bond; alumnus Edwin McMillan was awarded the Nobel in 1951 for his discovery of element 93 (neptunium); and alumnus William Lipscomb won in 1976 for his studies of the structure of boranes. Arnold Beckman , founder of Beckman Instruments, and Gordon Moore , founder of Intel and originator of Moore's Law, both earned their doctoral degrees in chemistry at Caltech. This tradition continues. Rudolph Marcus (1992 Nobel Prize for his theory of electron transfer in chemical reactions), and Ahmed Zewail (1999 Nobel Prize for his study of chemical reactions on the femtosecond timescale), both current faculty members, are part of a illustrious faculty of 37 of whom 14 have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences or the National Academy of Engineering.

Extractions: Resources DSB Scientific Consulting provides cost effective computational chemistry services to help small firms solve chemistry research and development problems. DSB consultants can assist management and researchers with the following computer simulation services: DSB Scientific's computational chemistry services are specifically designed for small firms that do not have full-time computational chemistry research staffs. The benefits of having DSB Scientific consultants conduct projects generally exceed the cost of hiring full-time in-house research and development staff or buying/maintaining your own computational chemistry hardware.

5th Canadian Computational Chemistry Conference - Home CCCC5 is the continuation of a series of meetings held every three years intended to foster the excellence of computational chemistry in Canada. http://www.chem.utoronto.ca/symposium/cccc5/
Extractions: CCCC5 is the continuation of a series of meetings held every three years intended to foster the excellence of computational chemistry in Canada. One of the principal goals of the conference is to highlight the impact of computational chemistry in academia, industry and society. As in the previous incarnations of this meeting, a program covering major new directions in research and applications of the computational discipline has been put together, with a special emphasis on computational chemistry applied to biophysics and material science. For this purpose, we have prepared a program of speakers actively involved in developing new methods and applications of high performance computing in chemistry and related areas. The meeting will be held on the campus of the University of Toronto, with inexpensive rooms available in nearby hotels at special rates. Toronto is an exciting, diverse city with many attractions, ranging from excellent museums to fine dining. Since Toronto is the largest urban centre in Canada, travel to and from the city is easy and relatively inexpensive. The costs of the meeting are modest (all figures in Canadian dollars):

Extractions: Next: 2.9 Summary Up: 2 Designing Parallel Algorithms Previous: 2.7 Case Study: Floorplan Optimization Our third case study, like the first, is from computational science. It is an example of an application that accesses a distributed data structure in an asynchronous fashion and that is amenable to a functional decomposition. Computational techniques are being used increasingly as an alternative to experiment in chemistry. In what is called ab initio quantum chemistry Plate 6 shows a molecular model for the active site region in the enzyme malate dehydrogenase, a key enzyme in the conversion of glucose to the high-energy molecule ATP. This image is taken from a simulation of the transfer of a hydride anion from the substrate, malate, to a cofactor, nicotinamide adenine diphosphate. The two isosurfaces colored blue and brown represent lower and higher electron densities, respectively, calculated by using a combined quantum and classical mechanics methodology. The green, red, blue, and white balls are carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen atoms, respectively. Fundamental to several methods used in quantum chemistry is the need to compute what is called the Fock matrix , a two-dimensional array representing the electronic structure of an atom or molecule. This matrix, which is represented here as
Extractions: HOME PROGRAM REGISTRATION ABSTRACTS ... ARCHIVE We are pleased to announce and to invite you to attend the 14 th Conference on Current Trends in Computational Chemistry ( CCTCC ). This symposium, organized by Jackson State University , covers all areas of computational chemistry as well as quantum chemistry. This year the 14 th CCTCC will be held at the Hilton Jackson Hotel , Jackson, Mississippi on November 45, 2005. A banquet is scheduled for the Saturday evening and a dinner and reception for Friday. The format consists of a series of (invited) plenary lectures and poster presentations on Friday and Saturday covering applications as well as theory. As suggested by Professor Pople, several years ago we inaugurated a new tradition for the second decade of our conferences. Starting with the 11 th CCTCC each meeting is featuring a talk named after eminent computational chemists. This year the third presentation in this series will be given by Dr. Michele Parrinello from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. The 14 th Conference will also feature another talk given in the ancillary Noble Lecture Series. The lectures in this series are presented in a relaxed, after-dinner atmosphere by the noble speakers and are devoted to noble scientific events and people. As such, it is an exceptional lecture to the conference and, contrary to the regular talks, might not necessarily report any Current findings.

Extractions: Department of Chemistry, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, SA 5005, Australia khawick@cs.adelaide.edu.au, mark.buntine@adelaide.edu.au 21 January 2000 Access to high-performance computing power remains crucial for many computational chemistry problems. Unfortunately, traditional supercomputers or cluster computing solutions from commercial vendors remain very expensive, even for entry level configurations, and are therefore often beyond the reach of many small to medium-sized research groups and universities. Clusters of networked commodity computers provide an alternative computing platform that can offer substantially better price/performance than commercial supercomputers. We have constructed a networked PC cluster, or Beowulf, dedicated to computational chemistry problems using standard ab initio molecular orbital software packages such as Gaussian and GAMESS-US.
