The direct random-phase approximation (dRPA) is used to calculate and compare atomization energies for the HEAT set and 10 selected molecules of the G2-1 set using both plane waves and Gaussian-type orbitals. We describe detailed procedures to obtain highly accurate and well converged results for th...
