There was also the development of a vectorised version of GAMESS, implemented on the CRAY by Martyn Guest, that provided an outstandingly flexible and efficient package for LCAO-MO-SCF work in which the integral evaluation code went about 20 times as fast as it did on the IBM 360/195. For a time then, the UK was ahead of the field, for these kind of speeds could simply not be matched on minis (not even on the very popular VAX machines) that had been opted for by so many workers in the United States. Of course this did not last, for there was a rapid development of supercomputer centres in the United States funded by both Federal and State resources. On the whole, the United States machines had much larger fast-store than did the UK machines and so the United States workers again drew ahead in full Cl calculations. The work of Charlie Bauschlicher at NASA Ames on the CRAY-2 exemplifies this trend. ...
