CONQUEST is a linear-scaling DFT (Density Functional Theory) code based on the density matrix minimization method. Since its computational cost, for both memory and computational costs, is only proportional to the number of atoms N of the target systems, the code can employ structure optimization or molecular dynamics on very large-scale systems, including more than hundreds of thousands of atoms. It also has high parallel efficiency and is suitable for massively parallel calculations.
Code for unfolding first-principles electronic energy bands calculated using supercells into the corresponding primary-cell Brillouin zone. It uses maximally-localized Wannier functions calculated using Wannier90.
Software package to implement Behler-Parinello neural network potentials. Potentials can be trained from structure-energy/ interatomic forces/stress data, and molecular dynamics calculations using LAMMPS can also be performed using learned potentials. A prediction uncertainty measure can also be calculated simultaneously.
Library for calculating Pfaffian (square root of determinant), which is defined for skew-symmetric matrices. Algorithms are implemented in several languages (Fortran, Python, Matlab, Mathematica) and users can choose favorite one. Interfaces for C are also provided.
i-PI is a universal force engine interface written in Python, designed to be used together with an ab-initio (or force-field based) evaluation of the interactions between the atoms. This application includes a large number of sophisticated methods such as replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) and path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD). Inter-atomic forces can be computed by using external codes such as CP2K, Quantum ESPRESSO and LAMMPS.
A collection of shell scripts for installing open-source applications and tools for computational materials science to macOS, Linux PC, cluster workstations, and major supercomputer systems in Japan. Major applications are preinstalled to the nation-wide joint-use supercomputer system at Institute for Solid State Physics, University of Tokyo by using MateriApps Installer.
Application for performing first-principles simulations with an implicit solvent model. The code is released as a patch to VASP. The user can perform molecular dynamics as well as reaction analysis using e.g., nudged elastic band method.
STATE is a first-principles plane-wave pseudo-potential code. It provides electronic state calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. This code is suitable for simulating chemical reactions at solid surfaces and solid–liquid interfaces, i.e., It is able to investigate reaction paths and activation barriers of chemical processes at interfaces. It can also include Van der Waals corrections to conventional density functional theory.
Python/C++ based software package that employs deep learning techniques for construction of interatomic potentials. It implements the Deep Potential, which defines atomic environment descriptors with respect to a local reference frame. The output of many first-principles and molecular dynamics applications can be used as training data, and the trained potentials can be used for molecular dynamics calculations using LAMMPS and path integral molecular dynamics calculations using i-PI.
An application for first-principles calculation by the joint-DFT method based on a plane-wave basis. By implementation of the joint-DFT method, this application realizes a good convergence for electronic state calculation of molecules in liquid, particular for charged systems. This application is written by C++11, and supports GPU calculation by CUDA. This application also supports diffusive Monte Carlo simulation in cooperation with CASINO.
