Similar to ground-state CCSD calculations described in Section 6.17, single precision can be used in EOM-CC and EOM-MP2 calculations.904 Currently, the following variants of EOM are supported: EE, SF,IP, EA; both in standard and RI/CD implementations, for energies and properties evaluation. If you wish to use single-precision version of EOM, please first read Section 6.17 for basic setup of single-precision coupled-cluster calculation. Here we describe only additional EOM-specific keywords.
Precision selection is controlled by the EOM_SINGLE_PREC keyword: corresponds to double-precision calculation and corresponds to single-precision calculation. EOM-specific convergence criteria are controlled by the same keywords as in the double precision, but the same rule as for CCSD applies: too tight thresholds may cause issues with convergence. The default Davidson threshold works well for most cases.904
The keyword CC_SP_DM controls calculation of intermediates, density matrices, and for EOM calculations in the same manner as for CCSD, which is described in Section 6.17.
Calculations of analytical gradients require solving amplitude-response equations, which can be done on single precision as well; this is activated by EOM_ARESP_SINGLE_PREC = 1.
