I chose to benchmark my cluster with GAMESS and G98 as a means of determining
realworld performance. I used the molecules used in the paper Commodity
Cluster Computing for Computational Chemistry by the University of Adelaide.

<p>The results of these tests helped to sell the use of the cluster to
users in our Chemistry, Physics, and Pharmocology departments.
