A branch-and-bound method was considered, but rejected as too expensive. Also, a left-to-right march was considered. Perhaps one of these approaches are actually worth attempting. Different parallel structures could be attempted. As the project concludes, colleagues are trying their injection architecture. The results so far are very encouraging. Another improvement involves a complete redesign of the representation scheme. Some colleagues are working with a forced symmetry representations which yielded energies in the neighborhood of the ones we received.
