A parallel version of the valence bond program TURTLE has been developed. In this version the calculation of matrix elements is distributed over the processors. The implementation has been done using the message‐passing interface (MPI), and is, therefore, portable. The parallel version of the program is shown to be quite efficient with a speed‐up of 55 at 64 processors. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Comput Chem 22: 665–672, 2001
