An application program for lattice dynamics calculation of molecules, surfaces, and solids in various boundary conditions. It lays emphasis on analytic calculation of lattice dynamics while it can perform molecular dynamics simulation as well. It supports various force fields to treat ionic materials, organic materials, and metals. It also implements analytic derivatives of the second and third order for many force fields.
An open-source multi-purpose application for modeling and visualizing molecules (biomolecules, in particular). This application has been developed for multi-scale molecular simulation, and also provides a simple GUI for AMBER and Gaussian. It also implements exchange of protein residues and the Pathways model for the electron transfer in proteins. It calls rasmol for visualization of atoms and molecules.
A Python package for extracting structural features from point cloud and image data using the mathematical framework of persistent homology. In the field of materials science, it is used to characterize structural differences between liquids and glasses, as well as for dimensionality reduction of microscope images. It is also useful for obtaining structural descriptors for machine learning.
An open-source multi-purpose application for many-particle simulation. This application prepares various kinds of statistical methods and potentials, and can perform simulation of rigid-body mechanics, Langevin dynamics, dissipative-particle dynamics, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics, and so on. It prepares python scripts for production of initial conditions, job submission, and analysis of results.
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 unified application for soft materials simulation. This is a commercial application based on OCTA, and includes modeling/analysis tools for individual simulation engines, use-case databases, tools for structure-property relationship analysis as well as basic functions of OCTA. In particular, VSOP, an original solver for molecular dynamics, is added for fast simulation by MPI parallel computing.
A general-purpose open-source application for classical molecular dynamics simulation, distributed under the GPL license. This package can perform molecular dynamics calculation of various systems such as soft matters, solids, and mesoscopic systems. It can be used as a simulator of classical dynamics of realistic atoms as well as general model particles. It supports parallel computing through spatial divisions. Its codes are designed so that their modification and extension are easy.
An open-source application for molecular dynamics to simulate biopolymers such as proteins and nuclear acids. This application can perform high-speed molecular dynamics simulation by hybrid parallel computing maintaining high-accuracy energy conservation. This application also support high-speed calculation of long-range interaction based on the particle mesh Ewald method. The code is released under GPL lisense.
A benchmark framework for evaluating general-purpose, i.e., universal, machine learning potentials, along with a leaderboard based on those evaluations. Rankings are determined by a comprehensive assessment that considers the accuracy of predicted formation energy of materials, structural relaxation, and thermal conductivity. Recently, in addition to public research institutions such as universities, major companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Google have also joined the development of universal potentials, taking top positions on the leaderboard.
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.
