Abstract
The computational demands of quantum chemistry have historically outpaced the capabilities of digital computer systems since the introduction of such systems nearly forty years ago. This situation has prevailed despite an essentially astronomic growth in hardware and software capacities. It demonstrates critical limitations in solving theoretical chemistry problems and reflects the clear need for the theoretical chemistry community to obtain the most cost effective computational resources.
