Options for Gaussian 03/09/16

 

Level of theory

Any combination of computational method and basis set can be used.

Memory and number of processors

In GRRM17 program, you can use GauMem and GauProc options to set the amount of memory (%Mem=nMW in Gaussian) and number of processors (%NProc=n in Gaussian) for a Gaussian job. For example, the memory (%Mem=30MW) and the number of processors (%NProc=2) used in a Gaussian job can be set as:

# ADDF/B3LYP/D95V(d)
 
0 1
C         -0.000000000711          0.000000000452         -0.533622543616
O          0.000000000233          0.000000000201          0.679217381431
H          0.000000000239          0.942015259527         -1.124391918573
H          0.000000000239         -0.942015260180         -1.124391919242
Options
GauMEM = 30
GauProc = 2
