GAMESS

Optimized initial guess procedure for DEA- and DIP-EOMCC calculations (#916) (J. Shen of Michigan State University)
- Both NOACT and NUACT in the generating initial guess procedure are used for the DEA- and DIP-EOMCC calculations, instead of only using NUACT for DEA-EOMCC and NOACT for DIP-EOMCC calculations respectively in the previous version. This will reduce the computing cost of the initial guess procedure in the DEA/DIP-EOMCC calculations.

Datta, B. Westeimer, M. Alkan, T. Harville, K. Ferreras, M. Schlinsog, G. Elliot, S. Leonard, D. Del Angel, and J. Hayes of Iowa State University) (J. L. Galvez Vallejo of Australian National University) (J. Mato of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory)
- https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/0/code_of_conduct.html
New Michigan State University Coupled-Cluster Theory Methods: ACCSD, ACC23, ACCSD3A, ACCT3, DEAEOM2, DEAEOM2A, DEAEOM3, DEAEOM3A, DEAEOM3B, DIPEOM2, DIPEOM3, DIPEOM3A (#805) (J. Shen of Michigan State University)
- Addition of MSUAUTO build option for GAMESS (formerly MSUCC)
- Update to CCSDt code to enable CCSD and CCSDT calculations when corresponding numbers of active orbitals are provided.
- In the manual docs-input.txt file, several new options are added as follows,
  - In $CONTRL group, four ACP options (CCTYP=ACCSD, ACC23, ACCSD3A, ACCT3) and seven DEA/DIP-EOMCC options (CCTYP=DEAEOM2, DEAEOM2A, DEAEOM3, DEAEOM3A, DEAEOM3B, DIPEOM2, DIPEOM3, DIPEOM3A) are added,
  - In $CCINP group, two new keywords (SHIFT and ACP) are added,
  - In $EOMINP group, two new keywords (NREF and NSAVE) are added.
- Examples for ACP and DEA/DIP-EOMCC calculations are available in the tests/cc directory.
LUT-IOTC Updates (#798) (C. Takashima of Waseda University)
- LUT-IOTC method for two-electron term (RELWFN=LUTIOTC2 in $CONTRL group) becomes available with divide-and-conquer method (DCFLG=.T. in $DANDC group).
- LUT-IOTC method for two-electron term (RELWFN=LUTIOTC2 in $CONTRL group) becomes available with direct SCF method (DIRSCF in $SCF group). In this implementation, one-center IOTC two-electron integrals are stored on disk storage, and multi-center non-relativistic two-electron integrals are computed in each SCF iteration.
- Since RELWFN=LUTIOTC2 is not parallelized at present, direct SCF has a longer computational time than the conventional SCF calculation.
- At present, (LUT-)IOTC methods for two-electron term (RELWFN=IOTC2E and LUTIOTC2 in $CONTRL group) are not parallelized. So, it is set up to stop the job with an error message when parallel calculation will be run.
- In MP2 calculation, (LUT-)IOTC methods for two-electron term (RELWFN=IOTC2E and LUTIOTC2 in $CONTRL group) are only available with CODE=SERIAL in $MP2 group. The code is modified to choose CODE=SERIAL in the default calculation of RELWFN=IOTC2E and LUTIOTC2. And it is set up to stop the job with an error message when other keywords of CODE are chosen.
RI-G3 (PDG) Method (#756) (B. Pham and D. Datta of Iowa State University)
- A modification of the G3 method that utilizes RI-MP2 and RI-CC
- See test case: $GMSDIR/tests/comp-mpiomp/rig3_exam43.inp
- Phys. Chem. A 2021, 125, 42, 9421-9429
VB2000 v3.0.1 update (#742) (D. de Sousa of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro)
Accurate Atomic Minimal Basis Sets (AAMBS) (#726) (G. Schoendorff of Air Force Research Laboratory)
- Implementation of the relativistic AAMBS for Li-Rn.
- This implementation allows for the formation of VVOs and SVD localization for methods using all-electron basis sets with relativistic methods and for the formation of VVOs when using model core potentials.
- New options in $LOCAL are the following:
  - VVTYP selects the AAMBS version where IVVTYP=0 selects the original non-relativistic AAMBS and IVVTYP=1 selects the relativistic AAMBS implemented here.
  - PADSVD reorders the outer core if a valence orbital in a molecule is lower in energy than a core orbital, e.g., the O 2s in CeO and CeO2 is lower in energy than the Ce 5s an 5p.
  - GUESS=AAMBS - Huckel guess that uses the AAMBS rather than the MIDI sets) expanded valence - nd orbitals for the p-block that allow for sp3d and sp3d2 hybridization.
  - SUBVAL option to include the 5s and 5p orbitals in the valence space for the 4f elements.

Fix active orbital space in CCSD3A and CCT3 calculations. (#797) (Piotr group of Michigan State University)
- A bug with how very small active spaces (e.g. 0-0) were treated when open shell CCSD3A and CCT3 calculations were performed, was found and corrected in this PR. Essentially, some diagrams which should not have been computed, had been included in the calculation due to faulty conditional statements related to the size of the active orbital space.
- This issue only impacted calculations with very small active spaces and very few electrons, which would result in very small active occupied and active unoccupied orbital spaces.

July 31, 2022 R1 Public Release

Notice

GAMESS now requires a LAPACK library for compilation. Your math library may already provide this library. However, if you receive an error during linking about undefined references to dsygst and dspev then you will need to link to a LAPACK library.

You can try compiling the Netlib LAPACK library from scratch by one of the following two options below:

(Requires CMake)

./tools/lapack/download-lapack.csh
make -j lapack

(Does not require CMake)

make -j lapack USE_CMAKE=false

Or provide a valid GMS_LAPACK_LINK_LINE in install.info to an installation of LAPACK (compiled with 8-byte integer) already on your 64-bit system.

For example:

setenv GMS_LAPACK_LINK_LINE "-L/path/to/lapack/library -llapack"

You do not need to specify GMS_LAPACK_LINK_LINE if you decide to do option 1. or 2.

Crusher build support (Frontier TDS at OLCF) (#716) (S. Leang of EP Analytics)
- Load the appropriate environment (e.g., PrgEnv-cray, PrgEnv-amd, PrgEnv-gnu) and then run ./config
- Specify hpe-cray-ex target and crusher HPC system target
Enable the substitution of virtual canonical orbitals for VVOs in energy calculations for SF-ORMAS and SF-ORMAS-PDFT (#676) (K. Ferreras of Iowa State University)
- The SF-ORMAS-PDFT approach combines the SF-ORMAS-CI (Phys.Chem.Chem.Phys., 2018, 20, 2615) method with MC-PDFT (J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2014, 10, 3669) method to treat static and dynamical correlation in multiconfigurational systems. The static correlation description is generated via the spin-flip approach (Chem. Phys. Lett., 2001, 350, 522) a well-known and inexpensive method that treats excited states with multiconfigurational character using a high-spin single reference determinant. The dynamical correlation is treated with the on-top pair-density functional theory which translates GGA density functionals, successfully escaping the double counting of electron correlation and symmetry dilemma. The SF-ORMAS-PDFT method requires input for both calculations, SF-ORMAS-CI and PDFT, and only runs in serial. It can also be combined with virtual valence orbitals (J. Chem. Phys., 2004, 120, 2629) to decrease the number of virtual orbitals used in the calculation with keyword SFOVVO=.TRUE. in the $SCF group.
- Example inputs are available in $GMSDIR/tests/sformpdft
QM/EFP2 parallelization improvements of two-electron integrals for calculations with large number of EFP fragments (#666) (P. Xu and T. Sattasathuchana of Iowa State University)
Enabled Hessian calculations when using ECPs with an h-ul potential and coefficient of zero by increasing the value of NCOEF2. (#664) (G. Schoendorff of Iowa State University)
- Example inputs are available in $GMSDIR/tests/ecp
Implementation of LUT-IOTC method for two-electron term (#647) (C. Takashima of Waseda University)
- Example inputs are available in $GMSDIR/tests/lut-iotc-2e
Implementation of picture change corrected DFT (#647) (C. Takashima of Waseda University)
- See PCCDFT option in $RELWFN group
Implementation of REKS and MRSF with NAMD support (#635) (K. Komarov, S. Lee, M. Filatov, and C. H. Choi of Kyungpook National University)
- MRSF-TDDFT (Mixed-Reference Spin-Flip)-TDDFT is a new linear response time-dependent density functional theory for both ground and excited electronic states.(J. Chem. Phys. 2018, 149, 104101; J. Chem. Phys. 2019, 150, 184111) Currently, the energy and gradient of MRSF-TDDFT are available for ROHF reference. From its high spin triplet reference, MRSF-TDDFT generates singlets including ground state, triplets as well as quintets. MRSF-TDDFT eliminates the bulk of notorious spin contamination of SF-TDDFT. As compared to LR-TDDFT, MRSF-TDDFT includes the important doubly excited configurations providing the correct conical intersection topology between electronic states.(J. Phys. Chem. A 2019, 123, 6455; J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2021, 12, 9720) The MRSF-TDDFT also produces ground singlet state allowing to study diradical systems.(J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2021, 17, 848) Both ionization potentials and electron affinities of both ground and excited states can be calculated by quasiparticle state calculations.(J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2021, 12, 9963) A new searching method for three or higher state conical intersection is implemented for MRSF-TDDFT.(J. Phys. Chem. A 2021, 125, 1994) Fast computational method is developed for NACT (Nonadiabatic Coupling Term) and NACME (Nonadiabatic Matrix Elements).(J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2021, 12, 4722; J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2019, 15, 882) NAMD(Nonadiabatic Molecular Dynamics) is also implemented for MRSF-TDDFT.(J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2021, 12, 4339) Now, the LC (Long Range-Corrected) XC functionals can be used for both SF- and MRSF-TDDFT.
  - Example inputs are available in $GMSDIR/tests/mrsf
- Spin-Restricted Ensemble-Referenced Kohn-Sham (REKS) theory is a variational time-independent method for both ground and excited electronic states utilizing an ensemble density, which overcomes the limitations of traditional KS-DFT. (Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Computational Molecular Science 2015, 5, 146). The energy and gradient of the particular State-average REKS(2,2) and its variants are implemented. The theory can produce correct conical intersection topology between ground and excited states. Open shell singlet and doubly excited configurations are included. Ionization and electron affinity by EKT for both ground and excited electronic states can be obtained.

- LibXC interface can be used as well as the internal DFT library except FMO runs
- New functionals were provided; some old ones were fixed
- Kinetic functionals were removed from the GAMESS LibXC interface
- It is not possible to calculate gradients with double hybrid functionals
FMO Updates (#513) (D. G. Fedorov of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology Japan)
- FMO-DFTB/PBC
- Intranode GDDI and core affinity for sockets
- Partition analysis for DFTB
- FMO/EDA3
Enable larger MPI message sizes in DDI (going beyond 2GB limit) (#512) (L. Carrington of EP Analytics)
- This use case becomes necessary for the OpenMP threaded version of GAMESS where the number of GAMESS compute process (and equivalent number of DDI processes) do not saturate the core count per node.
- To use DDI large messages (e.g., >2GB) you need to set the flag to be DDI_MSG_FACTOR > 1.
- Common usage:
  - set EXTRA_FLAGS=' -DDDI_MSG_FACTOR=8'
  - additionally a threshold value is set in $GMSDIR/ddi/src/common.h : DDI_LG_MSG_THRESHOLD so that only messages greater than the threshold are set up to transfer with the DDI_MSG_FACTOR. The value of the flag should be an integer value and it is used to divide the current message by that value to ensure it fits into the "count" limit of MPI.
All for the use of ECPs with h-ul potentials that have coefficients of zero (#511) (G. Schoendorff of Iowa State University). The h-ul potential provides a reference point for the computation of difference potentials, hence the coefficient of zero. This modification allows for the use of many of the ECPs available for heavy elements, particularly the cc-pVnZ-PP sets and the Stuttgart ECPs. This modification also ensures that GAMESS can reproduce the results obtained using these ECPs with NWChem and Molpro.

GAMESS

The nuclear-electronic orbital (NEO) method package in GAMESS has been updated to include NEO-DFT capability with electron-proton correlation methods [1,2]. The epc17 functional is now available as a treatment for electron-proton correlation in a NEO-DFT calculation. The capability to calculate proton density on a set of grid points provided by the user has also been added. The documents NEO.DOC and NEOINP.DOC in the qmnuc/ folder have been updated to reflect these changes, but a brief summary follows. Electron-proton treatment is controlled by the NEODFT flag.

September 30, 2019 R2 Public Release

GAMESS

Multiconfiguration Pair-Density Functional Theory (MCPDFT). MCPDFT combines MCSCF and DFT approaches [1,2]. In MC-PDFT, an MCSCF wave function is used to calculate the kinetic energy, electron???nuclear attraction the Coulomb classical electron-electron repulsion contributions to the total energy; the remaining exchange???correlation energy comes from an on-top density functional. Various attempts have been made to combine MCSCF and DFT methodology to get an affordable yet accurate method to treat strongly correlated systems. Most of the previous methods encountered two problems: 1) double counting of electron correlation, as MCSCF contains some amount of dynamic correlation which is counted again if one simply adds a correlation energy computed from a correlation functional to the MCSCF energy, and 2) the incompatibility of available functionals developed for Kohn-Sham theory with the spin densities of a multiconfigurational wave function. An attempt has been made in MC-PDFT method to avoid these two problems. The first problem is avoided by using only the kinetic, electron-nuclear and Coulomb interaction terms of the MCSCF energy, with the remaining part of the energy calculated through on-top energy functional. The second problem is solved by introducing translated Kohn-Sham density functionals that depend on the on-top pair density and the total density in contrast to the alpha and the beta density dependence of KS-DFT functionals [1,3].

Along with a few minor fixes:

Chunking I/O was added to locpol.src to address large DAF files during MAKEFP runs. (#61)
Minimize OMP warnings (#67)
Fixed DGEMM handing in efpaul.src

Software related changes:

Added doxygen config file for developers (requires doxygen v.1.8.15+).
- cd $GMSDIR
- doxygen Doxyfile
Cavium ThunderX2 (ARM64) support through aarch64 conditionals during compilation.
- Uses 'linux64' target. Conditionals within build scripts will pick up on prescence of aarch64 architecture.
Running 'make' after successfully creaing an 'install.info' will now create the 'object' directory if it does not already exist.
Added gfortran 5.5 support in config.
Changed the maximum number of SMP procs (affects 'sockets' builds of GAMESS)
Build alternative to 'config' or 'compall' is provided in $GMSDIR/bin/create-install-info.py (requires Python 3 and jinja2 module).
- cd $GMSDIR
- bin/create-install.info.py --help
- Simplest build example: linux64 target, gfortran 4.8.5, use built in GAMESS BLAS library, use sockets for DDI communication:
  - bin/create-install-info.py --fortran_version=4.8.5
  - make ddi
  - make -j nproc
Alternative to $GMSDIR/rungms provided in $GMSDIR/machines/xeon_phi/rungms.interactive
- Copy into your $GMSDIR
- Edit 'target' in rungms.interactive
- Use rungms.interactive as you would rungms
Improved BLAS handling in LIBCCHEM
