OCC

Performs orbital-optimized MPn and CC computations and conventional MPn computations.

General

CACHELEVEL

Cacheing level for libdpd governing the storage of amplitudes, integrals, and intermediates in the CC procedure. A value of 0 retains no quantities in cache, while a level of 6 attempts to store all quantities in cache. For particularly large calculations, a value of 0 may help with certain types of memory problems. The default is 2, which means that all four-index quantites with up to two virtual-orbital indices (e.g., \langle ij | ab \rangle> integrals) may be held in the cache.

  • Type: integer
