[Wien] General question on NMR

[Peter Blaha]

The limitations are of course determined a lot by the available computer 
resources.

On a normal modern PC you are probalby limited to clusters of 50 atoms, 
while on a large supercomputer with 512 cores for your job you can 
probably go up to much larger clusters.

The problem will anyway be the structure of such nanocluster, since any 
structure optimization will lead only to the next local minimum, but the 
global minimum might be very difficult to find unless you have some idea 
about the inital structure.

The NMR art itself is also mpi parallel, so when you can do the scf 
calculation, you probably can also do the NMR.
