30 Closing Remarks Introduction it is now feasible to perform expensive NOFT calculations. The parallelization of the bottlenecks of our code allows us to achieve an execution 37 times faster than the sequential one, in 48 processors, with an eciency of 86%. the functional N-representabilty plays a crucial role towards achieving chemical accuracy. The PNOF5 can describe in a balanced way chemical bonding situations that evolve gradually from non-degenerate to degenerate states. Integer number of electrons have been found on the dissociated atoms. two equivalent orbital representations are possible. PNOF5 could be a practical tool for the interpretation of the chemical bonding.
