## Abstract Performance benchmark tests of the multireference perturbation theory (MRPT2) calculation in the GAMESS suite of programs have been performed on a 128‐node PC cluster system. The benchmark results point to two kinds of problems with GAMESS: network delay and slow access to disk files. T

Abstract
The quasi‐degenerate multireference second‐order perturbation theory (MRMP2) routines in the GAMESS suite of program codes have been parallelized using a distributed data interface (DDI). Two typical kinds of molecules were chosen for examination of parallelization speedup using one to eight PCs gathered as a cluster and connected by Fast Ethernet. The first example, in which total energies of several low‐lying electronic states have been obtained for niobium monohydride, give parallelization speedup of 7.15 when eight PCs were used as a cluster. The second example is the ground‐state total energy for a medium sized molecule, 4a,4b,8a,9a‐tetrahydro‐pyridino[1′,2′‐4,3]imidazo‐lidino[1,5‐a]pyridine. When distributed memory is employed, the parallelization speedup improves to 6.84 for the MRMP2 calculations when an eight‐PC cluster is used. These results demonstrate that our efforts to achieve the parallelization of MRMP2 routines have been successful. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Comput Chem 22: 1243–1251, 2001

We present the theory of the electron propagator perturbed by an external electric field and show how it can be used to calculate a variety of one-electron linear response properties that are accurate through second order in electron correlation. Some illustrative calculations are discussed.
The operator notation previously developed to analyze vibrations of continuous systems has been further generalized to model a system with an arbitrary number of coupled di!erential equations. Linear parts of the equations are expressed with an arbitrary linear di!erential and/or integral operators,
