Descriptions:
TCGMSG version of GAMESS has been employed in Parallel Machines.
MPI version is now available. Contact with Dr. Mike Schmidt..
"ISU" indicates that the machine is owned by Prof. Mark S. Gordon, Iowa State University.
The boldface shows that the machine is owned by Prof. S. Koseki, Mie University.
Caution: Since I/O is much slower in MacIntosh, you had better repair your HDD with respect to file-fragmentation before submission. Otherwise, you may get CPU time twice as much as the best time.
