|
| 54 | | PROJECT FOCUS: COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY |
Speed and Precision in Quantum Chemistry
 | MADNESS is a simulation framework powered by innovative mathematical tools and is capable of solving quantum chemical problems that are too complicated for conventional methods. It offers an unprecedented combination of guaranteed speed and precision, and will become even more powerful as versions are developed for use on petascale computers. |
