Disk memory based

As for the solution of the linear system, the standard approach based on the inversion of D matrix (see equation (48)) becomes unmanageable for very large solutes due to both the computational time and the disk memory occupation it requires. To deal with these cases an iterative procedure has been developed, [112] which is able to solve equation (48) without defining and inverting the full D matrix. A specific two-step extrapolation technique proved very effective in the solution of this problem, especially for the PCM variant based on the normal... 

For the determination of tin(ll) in kits an EG 8c G polarographic analyzer (model 384) with a static mercury drop electrode (model 303) and a cabinet reference electrode was used. Model 384 is a microprocessor-based polarographic analyzer with built-in floppy disk memory to store and recall analytical curves. By controlling each step of the analysis, the microprocessor automates polarographic and voltammetric measurements. All experimental parameters may be chosen by the operator. Concentrations are computed automatically aud recorded iu the rauge from 0.001 ppb to 9999 ppm. 

In addition to density functional models, MP2 models provide a good account of activation energies for organic reactions (see discussion in Chapter 9). Unfortunately, computer time and even more importantly, memory and disk requirements, seriously limit their application. One potential savings is to base the MP2 calculation on Hartree-Fock orbitals which have been localized. This has a relatively modest effect on overall cost, but dramatically reduces memory and disk requirements, and allows the range of MP2 models to be extended. 

In consequence, the most expensive steps of the ground- and excited-state calculations using methods based on the MMCC(2,3) approximation are essentially identical to the n nf noniterative steps of the ground-state CCSD(T) calculations uo and are the numbers of occupied and unoccupied correlated orbitals, respectively). Similar remarks apply to the memory and disk-space requirements. Clearly, these are great simplifications in the computer effort, compared to the higher-level EOMCC approaches, such as EOMCCSDT [43,44,55,56], particularly if we realize that we only have to use the Ti and T2 clusters, obtained in the CCSD calculations, to construct matrix elements of that enter 9Jt (2), Eqs. (58) and (59). In... 

When 8-bit microprocessor-based computers became available, we decided that such a computer, even though slower than minicomputers, would be adequate to operate the OMA and our interface controller with the ultracentrifuge. We now have in the system an Altair 8800 computer with 28K of memory (MITS, Albuquerque, NM), a hard-wired arithmetic board and two minifloppy disk drives (North Star, Berkeley, CA), a 700 ASR Terminal (Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX), and a 7202A Graphic Plotter (Hewlett-Packard, Palo Alto, CA). Appropriate software, written in Basic, has been developed to collect intensity data from the OMA automatically and also to treat and plot the data at the end of the experiment. Details of the system and software will be published elsewhere. We also have an improved illumination system with a 200 W Hg-Xe arc lamp and a Model H-20 monochromator with a holo-...

IBM PC A series of personal computers based on the Intel 8088 processor, introduced by IBM in mid-1981. The PC was released containing 16K of memory, expandable to 64K on the motherboard, and a monochrome video adapter incapable of displaying bit-mapped graphics. The floppy disk drive held 160K of data and programs. There was no hard disk on the original IBM PC that came later with the release of the IBM PC/XT. 

In this section we discuss some of the practical issues relevant to the actual implementation of the determinant-based Cl algorithms. We also describe our experience with our own fully direct Cl program, DETCI, which is capable of evaluating any Cl wavefunction which can be formulated as a RAS Cl, subject to memory and disk limitations. This program is based in part on the alpha and beta string formalism of Handy44 and the algorithms of Olsen et al.46,83 It has been modified to allow more complex Cl spaces, as described in sections 4.8.3 and 5.4.
