Current Features
Methods
- VMC
- DMC
- Jastrow factor optimization
- CI coefficients optimization
Wave functions
- Single determinant
- Multi-determinant
- Multi-Jastrow
- Nuclear cusp correction
Properties
Practical aspects
- Very low memory requirements
- Runs on a large number of processors : tested on 512 processors at the CALMIP cluster, and on 1000 processors on the EGEE European grid.
- Checkpointing
- Fail safe : if the code is aborted, the data is kept. This feature is very useful in grid environments.
- Easy development with the IRPF90 tool.
