Gaussian | 16w
Begin with tiny molecules like carbon dioxide to learn the buttons.
Supports DFT, MP2, coupled-cluster (CCSD(T)), and CI methods [Source: Gaussian.com ].
Solid-State Drives (SSDs) are critical. Gaussian generates massive temporary scratch files during calculations; an NVMe SSD drastically minimizes data read/write bottlenecks. Best Practices for Running Calculations
Gaussian 16W provides an extensive suite of electronic structure methods. It simulates molecules in the gas phase, in solution, and within solid-state environments. 1. Molecular Structure and Geometry Optimization
Use %nprocshared=N where N ≤ number of logical cores. Gaussian 16W scales reasonably up to ~24 cores. Beyond that, diminishing returns occur due to memory bandwidth limits on Windows.
