And of course, pyquante. Several packages use the Libint GPL library
(http://www.files.chem.vt.edu/chem-dept/valeev/software/libint/libint.html)
including the aforemention PSI3 and MPQC. So does ORCA, but through
the magic of licenses, this is not open source!

Pretty much every plane-wave pseudopotential code is open source
(Quantum Espresso, etc.) but these are not much use to chemists.

Download Intel&#174; Parallel Studio Eval
Try the new software tools for yourself. Speed compiling, find bugs
proactively, and fine-tune applications for parallel performance.
See why Intel Parallel Studio got high marks during beta.
