How To Install aces3 on Debian 10
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install aces3 on Debian 10.
What is aces3
aces3 is:
ACESIII is an electronic structure calculation program with a focus on correlated methods. It is the parallel successor to ACESII, employing the Super Instruction Assembly Language (SIAL) as parallelization framework. Features include:
Energies, analytic gradients and analytic hessians for the following methods:
- Restricted/unrestricted spin or restricted open-shell Hartree-Fock (HF)
- Second-order Moeller-Plesset pertubation theory (MP2)
Energies and analytic gradients for the following methods:
- Coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD)
Additionally, it can compute energies for the following methods:
- Coupled cluster singles and doubles with pertubative triples (CCSD(T))
- Quadratic configuration-interaction singles and doubles (QCISD)
Excited states can be calculated by the following methods:
- Qadratic configuration interaction singles and doubles
- Coupled cluster equation-of-motion (EOM-CC)
It also includes an internal coordinate geometry optimizer. If analytic gradients are not available, numerical gradients via finite differences are used.
