Changelog

v0.24.0 / 2022-07-08

Upcoming Breaking Changes

  • (:pr:`372`) QCSchema - changes are planned to schema layout and QCEngine API that will be outlined in an issue. These are not expected to involve detailed changes to the harnesses, and update helper functions will be provided. In preparation, QCEngine is pinned to a maximum compatible QCElemental v0.25.0 (current release). Projects using QCSchema through QCElemental are advised to pin to maximum v0.25.0 qcel and v0.24.0 to avert trouble, since this is our first experience with schema increments. @loriab

New Features

  • (:pr:`343`) DFT-D3 - added the SDFTD3Harness to handle DFT-D3 via a Python API. This has native QCSchema support and programmatic access to the parameter database. @awvwgk
  • (:pr:`353`) TeraChem - added the TeraChemFrontEndHarness to handle file I/O in extension to the protocol buffer TeraChemPBSHarness interface. @coltonbh

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`350`) Rename the compute(..., local_options) argument to compute(..., task_config). Former still works and will for a while. @coltonbh
  • (:pr:`361`) testing - in standard suite, add references for Hartree--Fock density-fitten Hessians. @loriab
  • (:pr:`362`) docs - update setup with theme and fuller information on Pydantic models. @loriab
  • (:pr:`363`) CFOUR - learned not to set DERIV_LEVEL when atomicinput.driver=properties. Helps properties like DBOC. @loriab
  • (:pr:`363`) Allow directory structure in execute(..., infiles) argument, not just flat-level files. @loriab
  • (:pr:`364`) CFOUR - learned to harvest gradients when ghost atoms involved. Any CFOUR job with ghost atoms involves a hack that may go amiss when Xenon atoms in target molecule. @loriab
  • (:pr:`364`) NWChem - learned to handle keyword geometry__autosym to tighten or loosen automatic symmetry detection. @loriab
  • (:pr:`372`) testing - 2022 OpenMopac now actively tested in GHA. Note fields and output slightly different since 2019 harness. @awvwgk, @loriab

Bug Fixes

  • (:pr:`301`, :pr:`367`) PyBerny - learned how to fail informatively when something goes wrong instead of assuming all is well and failing misleadingly while processing success. @coltonbh
  • (:pr:`333`) NWChem - learned to skip writing the original atomicinput.molecule geometry to the input file only when both (1) the job is known to be part of a restart and (2) the job originates from the NWChem "driver" (that is, the optimizer). Previously, the geometry writing was skipped under (1) circumstances, so single-point e/g/h didn't have a geometry to work from. @WardLT
  • (:pr:`349`) Turbomole - learned to correctly parse Hessian files when molecule contains more than 33 atoms. @eljost

Misc.

v0.23.0 / 2022-03-10

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`351`) Torsiondrive procedure refactored to make it easier for users to implement a parallel version via subclassing and overwriting the _spawn_optimizations method. @jthorton

v0.21.0 / 2021-11-22

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`321`) CFOUR, GAMESS, NWChem, Psi4, DFTD3, MP2D, gCP - learned to return certain native text files under control of the native_files protocol. GAMESS users are strongly advised to at least set protocols.native_files = "input" so that the job is reproducible. @loriab
  • (:pr:`325`) Torsiondrive - learned to use multiple molecules as input to torsiondrives. @jthorton
  • (:pr:`327`) TorchANI - learned to use GPUs if available. @kexul
  • (:pr:`330`, :pr:`332`) NWChem - learned to restart from existing scratch if QCEngine is killed. @WardLT

v0.20.1 / 2021-10-08

Bug Fixes

v0.20.0 / 2021-10-01

New Features

  • (:pr:`305`) TorsionDrive - new procedure to automate constrained optimizations along a geometry grid. Akin to the longstanding QCFractal TorsionDrive service. @SimonBoothroyd

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`307`) NWChem - learns to automatically increase the number of iterations when SCF, CC, etc. fails to converge. @WardLT
  • (:pr:`309`) qcengine info learned to print the location of found CMS programs, and geometric, OpenMM, and RDKit learned to return their versions. @loriab
  • (:pr:`311`) CFOUR, GAMESS, NWChem harnesses learned to notice which internal module performs a calc (e.g., tce/cc for NWChem) and to store it in AtomicResult.provenance.module. Psi4 already does this. @loriab
  • (:pr:`312`) CFOUR, GAMESS, NWChem harnesses learned to run and harvest several new methods in the MP, CC, CI, DFT families. @loriab
  • (:pr:`316`) Config - TaskConfig learned a new field scratch_messy to instruct a qcng.compute() run to not clean up the scratch directory at the end. @loriab
  • (:pr:`316`) GAMESS - harness learned to obey ncores and scratch_messy local_config options. When ncores > 1, the memory option is partitioned into replicated and non after exetyp=check trials. @loriab
  • (:pr:`316`) Psi4 - harness learned to obey scratch_messy and memory local_config options. Memory was previously off by a little (GB vs GiB). @loriab
  • (:pr:`316`) CFOUR - harness learned to obey scratch_messy and memory local_config options. Memory was previously off by a little. @loriab
  • (:pr:`316`) NWChem - harness learned to obey scratch_messy and memory local_config options. Memory was previously very off for v7. @loriab
  • (:pr:`315`) CFOUR, GAMESS, NWChem -- learned to return in AtomicInput or program native orientation depending on fix_com & fix_orientation= T or F. Psi4 already did this. Previously these three always returned AtomicInput orientation. Note that when returning program native orientation, the molecule is overwritten, so AtomicResult is not a superset of AtomicInput. @loriab
  • (:pr:`315`) CFOUR, GAMESS, NWChem -- learned to harvest gradients and Hessians. @loriab
  • (:pr:`317`) Docs - start "new harness" docs, so contributors have a coarse roadmap. @loriab
  • (:pr:`318`) Docs - documentation is now served from https://molssi.github.io/QCEngine/ and built by https://github.com/MolSSI/QCEngine/blob/master/.github/workflows/CI.yml . https://qcengine.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ will soon be retired. @loriab

v0.15.0 / 2020-06-26

New Features

  • (:pr:`232`) PyBerny - new geometry optimizer procedure harness. @jhrmnn
  • (:pr:`238`) Set up testing infrastructure, "stdsuite", where method reference values and expected results names (e.g., total energy and correlation energy from MP2) are stored here in QCEngine but may be used from anywhere (presently, Psi4). Earlier MP2 and CCSD tests here converted to new scheme, removing test_standard_suite_mp2.py and ccsd.
  • (:pr:`249`, :pr:`254`) XTB - new harness for xtb-python that natively speaks QCSchema. @awvwgk

Enhancements

Bug Fixes

v0.11.0 / 2019-10-01

New Features

  • (:pr:`162`) Adds a test to take advantage of Elemental's Protocols. Although this PR does not technically change anything in Engine, bumping the minor version here allows upstream programs to note when this feature was available because the minimum version dependency on Elemental has been bumped as well.

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`143`) Updates to Entos and Molpro to allow Entos to execute functions from the Molpro Harness. Also helps the two drivers to conform to :pr:`86`.
  • (:pr:`145`, :pr:`148`) Initial CLI tests have been added to help further ensure Engine is running proper.
  • (:pr:`149`) The GAMESS Harness has been improved by adding testing.
  • (:pr:`150`, :pr:`153`) TorchANI has been improved by adding a Hessian driver to it and additional information is returned in the extra field when energy is the driver. This also bumped the minimum version of TorchANI Engine supports from 0.5 to 0.9.
  • (:pr:`154`) Molpro's harness has been improved to support callinfo_X properties, unrestricted HF and DFT calculations, and the initial support for parsing local correlation calculations.
  • (:pr:`158`) Entos' output parsing has been improved to read the json dictionary produced by the program directly. Also updates the input file generation.
  • (:pr:`161`) Updates MOPAC to have more sensible quantum-chemistry like keywords by default.

Bug Fixes

  • (:pr:`156`) Fixed a compatibility bug in specific version of Intel-OpenMP by skipping version 2019.5-281.
  • (:pr:`161`) Improved error handling in MOPAC if the execution was incorrect.

v0.10.0 / 2019-08-25

New Features

  • (:pr:`132`) Expands CLI for info, run, and run-procedure options.
  • (:pr:`137`) A new CI pipeline through Azure has been developed which uses custom, private Docker images to house non-public code which will enable us to test Engine through integrated CI on these codes securely.
  • (:pr:`140`) GAMESS, CFOUR, NWChem preliminary implementations.

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`138`) Documentation on Azure triggers.
  • (:pr:`139`) Overhauls install documentation and clearly defines dev install vs production installs.

v0.9.0 / 2019-08-14

New Features

  • (:pr:`120`) Engine now takes advantage of Elemental's new Msgpack serialization option for Models. Serialization defaults to msgpack when available (conda install msgpack-python [-c conda-forge]), falling back to JSON otherwise. This results in substantial speedups for both serialization and deserialization actions and should be a transparent replacement for users within Engine and Elemental themselves.

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`112`) The MolproHarness has been updated to handle DFT and CCSD(T) energies and gradients.
  • (:pr:`116`) An environment context manager has been added to catch NumPy style parallelization with Python functions.
  • (:pr:`117`) MOPAC and DFTD3 can now accept an extras field which can pass around additional data, conforming to the rest of the Harnesses.
  • (:pr:`119`) Small visual improvements to the docs have been made.
  • (:pr:`120`) Lists inside models are now generally converted to numpy arrays for internal storage to maximize the benefit of the new Msgpack feature from Elemental.
  • (:pr:`133`) The GAMESS Harness now collects the CCSD as part of its output.

Bug Fixes

  • (:pr:`127`) Removed unused imports from the NWChem Harvester module.
  • (:pr:`129`) Missing type hints from the MolproHarness have been added.
  • (:pr:`131`) A code formatting redundancy in the GAMESS input file parser has been removed.

v0.8.2 / 2019-07-25

Bug Fixes

  • (:pr:`114`) Make compute and compute_procedure not have required kwargs while debugging a Fractal serialization issue. This is intended to be a temporary change and likely reverted in a later release

v0.8.1 / 2019-07-22

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`110`) Psi4's auto-retry exception handlers now catch more classes of random errors

Bug Fixes

  • (:pr:`109`) Geometric auto-retry settings now correctly propagate through the base code.

v0.8.0 / 2019-07-19

New Features

  • (:pr:`95`, :pr:`96`, :pr:`97`, and :pr:`98`) The NWChem interface from QCDB has been added. Thanks to @vivacebelles and @jygrace for this addition!
  • (:pr:`100`) The MOPAC interface has now been added to QCEngine thanks help to from @godotalgorithm.

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`94`) The gradient and molecule parsed from a GAMESS calculation output file are now returned in parse_output
  • (:pr:`101`) Enabled extra files in TeraChem scratch folder to be requested by users, collected after program execution, and recorded in the Result object as extras.
  • (:pr:`103`) Random errors can now be retried a finite, controllable number of times (current default is zero retries). Geometry optimizations automatically set retries to 2. This only impacts errors which are categorized as RandomError by QCEngine and all other errors are raised as normal.

Bug Fixes

  • (:pr:`99`) QCEngine now manages an explicit folder for each Psi4 job to write into and passes the scratch directory via -s command line. This resolves a key mismatch which could cause an error.
  • (:pr:`102`) DFTD3 errors are now correctly returned as a FailedOperation instead of a raw dict.

v0.7.1 / 2019-06-18

Bug Fixes

  • (:pr:`92`) Added an __init__.py file to the programs/tests directory so they are correctly bundled with the package.

v0.7.0 / 2019-06-17

Breaking Changes

  • (:pr:`85`) The resource file programs.dftd3.dashparam.py has relocated and renamed to programs.empirical_dispersion_resources.py.
  • (:pr:`89`) Function util.execute forgot str argument scratch_location and learned scratch_directory in the same role of existing directory within which temporary directories are created and cleaned up. Non-user-facing function util.scratch_directory renamed to util.temporary_directory.

New Features

  • (:pr:`60`) WIP: QCEngine interface to GAMESS can run the program (after light editing of rungms) and parse selected output (HF, CC, FCI) into QCSchema.
  • (:pr:`73`) WIP: QCEngine interface to CFOUR can run the program and parse a variety of output into QCSchema.
  • (:pr:`59`, :pr:`71`, :pr:`75`, :pr:`76`, :pr:`78`, :pr:`88`) Molpro improvements: Molpro can be run by QCEngine; and the input generator and output parser now supports CCSD energy and gradient calculations. Large thanks to @sjrl for many of the improvements
  • (:pr:`69`) Custom Exceptions have been added to QCEngine's returns which will make parsing and diagnosing them easier and more programmatic for codes which invoke QCEngine. Thanks to @dgasmith for implementation.
  • (:pr:`82`) QCEngine interface to entos can create input files (dft energy and gradients), run the program, and parse the output.
  • (:pr:`85`) MP2D interface switched to upstream repo (https://github.com/Chandemonium/MP2D v1.1) and now produces correct analytic gradients.

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`62`, :pr:`67`, :pr:`83`) A large block of TeraChem improvements thanks to @ffangliu contributions. Changed the input parser to call qcelemental to_string method with bohr unit, improved output of parser to turn stdout into Result, and modified how version is parsed.
  • (:pr:`63`) QCEngine functions util.which, util.which_version, util.parse_version, and util.safe_version removed after migrating to QCElemental.
  • (:pr:`65`) Torchani can now handle the ANI1-x and ANI1-ccx models. Credit to @dgasmith for implementation
  • (:pr:`74`) Removes caching and reduces pytorch overhead from Travis CI. Credit to @dgasmith for implementation
  • (:pr:`77`) Rename ProgramExecutor to ProgramHarness and BaseProcedure to ProcedureHarness.
  • (:pr:`77`) Function util.execute(..., outfiles=[]) learned to collect output files matching a globbed filename.
  • (:pr:`81`) Function util.execute learned list argument as_binary to handle input or output files as binary rather than string.
  • (:pr:`81`) Function util.execute learned bool argument scratch_exist_ok to run in a preexisting directory. This is handy for stringing together execute calls.
  • (:pr:`84`) Function util.execute learned str argument scratch_suffix to identify temp dictionaries for debugging.
  • (:pr:`90`) DFTD3 now supports preliminary parameters for zero and Becke-Johnson damping to use with SAPT0-D

Bug Fixes

  • (:pr:`80`) Fix "psi4:qcvars" handling for older Psi4 versions.

v0.6.4 / 2019-03-21

Bug Fixes

  • (:pr:`54`) Psi4's Engine implementation now checks its key words in a case insensitive way to give the same value whether you called Psi4 or Engine to do the compute.
  • (:pr:`55`) Fixed an error handling routine in Engine to match Psi4.
  • (:pr:`56`) Complex inputs are now handled better through Psi4's wrapper which caused Engine to hang while trying to write to stdout.

v0.6.3 / 2019-03-15

New Features

  • (:pr:`28`) TeraChem is now a registered executor in Engine! Thanks to @ffangliu for implementing.
  • (:pr:`46`) MP2D is now a registered executor in Engine! Thanks to @loriab for implementing.

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`46`) dftd3's workings received an overhaul. The mol keyword has been replaced with dtype=2, full Psi4 support is now provided, and an MP2D interface has been added.

Bug Fixes

  • (:pr:`50` and :pr:`51`) Executing Psi4 on a single node with multiprocessing is more stable because Psi4 temps are moved to scratch directories. This behavior is now better documented with an example as well.
  • (:pr:`52`) Psi4 calls are now executed through the subprocess module to prevent possible multiprocessing issues and memory leak after thousands of runs. A trade off is this adds about 0.5 seconds to task start-up, but its safe. A future Psi4 release will correct this issue and the change can be reverted.

v0.6.2 / 2019-03-07

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`38` and :pr:`39`) Documentation now pulls from the custom QC Archive Sphinx Theme, but can fall back to the standard RTD theme. This allows all docs across QCA to appear consistent with each other.
  • (:pr:`43`) Added a base model for all Procedure objects to derive from. This allows procedures' interactions with compute programs to be more unified. This PR also ensured GeomeTRIC provides Provenance information.

Bug Fixes

  • (:pr:`40`) This PR improved numerous back-end and testing quality of life aspects. Fixed setup.py to call pytest instead of unittest when running tests on install. Some conda packages for Travis-CI are cached to reduce the download time of the larger computation codes. Psi4 is now pinned to the 1.3 version to fix build-level pin of libint. Conda-build recipe removed to avoid possible confusion for everyone who isn't a Conda-Forge recipe maintainer. Tests now rely exclusively on the conda env setups.

v0.6.1 / 2019-02-20

Bug Fixes

  • (:pr:`37`) Fixed an issue where RDKit methods were not case agnostic.

v0.6.0 / 2019-02-28

v0.5.2 / 2019-02-13

Enhancements

  • (:pr:`24`) Improves load times dramatically by delaying imports and cpuutils.
  • (:pr:`25`) Code base linting.
  • (:pr:`30`) Ensures Psi4 output is already returned and Pydantic v0.20+ changes.
