Comparison of GAMESS and TeraChem Optimization
Comparison of energy during optimization for Ala7 using GAMESS and TeraChem. Both curves folow each other closely, demonstrating that the accuracy achieved by TeraChem is sufficient for geometry optimization problems. Final geometries are compared in the inset (TeraChem in full color and CPU-optimized in gold).
