Table 1.

Computing times of single-point energy, force, and frequency calculations at the eight levels of electronic structure theory. The number of basis functions in this table for 3-21+G*, 6-31+G(d), and 6-311+G(d,p) are 141, 189, and 248, respectively. All calculations were performed with four processors of Intel Xeon E7-4870 2.40GHz, sharing 4GB memory of 1066MHz quad ranked LV RDIMMs, on a single-compute-node machine (jiraiya) that has forty processors of Intel Xeon E7-4870 2.40GHz (4×10C), sharing 1TB memory of 1066MHz quad ranked LV RDIMMs (64×16GB). The LTS structures are the optimized structures in solution respectively for each level of theory, except for CCSD and CCSD(T) single-point energy calculations. In these CCSD and CCSD(T) calculations, we used the optimized structure in solution at the MP2/6-311+G(d,p) level.
