Gaussian/GaussView
On this page, you will learn what Gaussian and GaussView are and what functions these programs offer for theoretical chemistry.
You will also find information on availability on the RWTH computing cluster and support options.
What is Gaussian?
Gaussian is a program system for ab initio calculation of molecular structures in theoretical chemistry.
GaussView serves as a graphical frontend. GaussView is a program for the interactive formulation of Gaussian calculations and the visualization of Gaussian results. GaussView unfolds its full graphics capabilities in cooperation with an OpenGL server; an exception is the Linux version, which always works with full functionality.
Usage and Availability
Note! Gaussian and GaussView are available free of charge on the RWTH computing cluster. |
The Gaussian version provided by us can only be parallelized via shared memory. The number of CPUs to be used is specified with the nprocs parameter (see Gaussian manual).
Support
For user support, please contact the manufacturer. You can find the necessary information at the IT Service Desk.
