Dear Nina,

At present we do not have a version of GAMESS-UK for the BlueGene/P platform.
The availability of such a version depends largely on the availability of the
Global Array toolkit on that platform. At present I have an early release
version of the Global Arrays that I am currently testing on BlueGene/P. So
although at present we cannot support BlueGene/P I hope we will be able to
resolve this before the new year.
I'll get back to you a soon as we can report progress on this front. 

Best wishes,

    Huub

Subject: GAMESS-UK for IBM Blue Gene/P inquiry

Dear Sirs,

We would like to know whether a port of GAMESS-UK for IBM Blue Gene/P
supercomputer exists.

In case that such port exists, we would like to have some more preliminary
details on the following topics:

1) underlying parallelisation mechanism;

2) available methods in parallel mode;

3) availability of Blue Gene/P compatible binaries;

4) availability of Blue Gene/P compatible sources;

5) availability of Blue gene/P specific support documentation;

6) licensing terms and pricing for strictly academic use on a Blue Gene/P
supercomputer;

In case that such port doesn't exist currently, please specify whether you have
any plans to develop it and in what time frame.

Best regards,
Nina Jeliazkova
