Description

Briefly, ABCluster searches the global as well as the local minima of atomic and molecular clusters.

ABCluster is a software developed by Jun Zhang to perform the global optimization of atomic and molecular clusters with the so-called "atificial bee colony" (ABC) algorithm. ABC is an unbiased, population-based, swarm-intelligence global optimization algorithm. The software searches the global minimum of a cluster by mimicing the foraging behavior of honey bee colonies. Don't worry if you are not familiar with it, since ABCluster is a black-box software, you can perform a global optimization readily without any knowledge about heuristic algorithms. Therefore you can completely focus on the chemical problem!
