We present an implicitly parallel, direct reduced list method for integral-
driven full CI (FCI) algorithms to be used in CAS-SCF. Our algorithm makes
efficient use of modern supercomputer hardware supporting both shared memor
y and distributed memory architectures. The applicability and efficiency is
demonstrated with a CAS-SCF(14,14) calculation on stilbene and a CAS-SCF(8
,16) calculation on pentalene. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S00
