Abstract

Recently, the authors implemented the linear-scaling divide-and-conquer (DC) quantum chemical methodologies into the GAMESS-US package, which is available without charge. In this Chapter, we summarized recent developments in the DC methods, namely, the density-matrix-based DC self-consistent field (SCF) and the DC-based post-SCF electron correlation methods. Especially, the DC-based post-SCF calculation is considerably efficient, i.e., its computational time achieves near-linear scaling with respect to the system size [O(N 1)] and the required memory and scratch sizes are hardly dependent on the system size [O(N 0)]. Numerical assessments also revealed the reliability of the DC methods.
