An efficient and highly vectorized implementation of the coupled clust
er singles and doubles (CCSD) model using a direct atomic integral tec
hnique is presented. The minimal number of n(6) processes has been imp
lemented for the most time consuming terms and point group symmetry is
used to further reduce operation counts and memory requirements. The
significantly increased application range of the CCSD method is illust
rated with sample calculations on several. systems with more than 500
basis functions. Furthermore, we present the basic trends of an open e
nded algorithm and discuss the use of integral prescreening. (C) 1996
