Gaussian Workshop

Gaussian Workshop

This two-day workshop will cover many of the methods available in the Gaussian 16 package which has support for GPUs. There will also be a short introduction to the subject of electronic structure theory and a hands-on where the participants gets to try out Gaussian 16 themselves. During the course, the participants will be able to use Gaussview graphical interface (license of 30 days provided by Gaussian).
