NequIP

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

Open source software for building and using machine learning potentials based on E(3)-equivariant graph neural networks, which can be trained on output files of simulation codes that can be read by ASE. Molecular dynamics calculations with LAMMPS can be performed using the trained potentials.

GASP

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

An application for structure prediction based on the genetic algorithm. This application can predict the structure and composition of stable phase of crystals, molecules, atomic clusters, and so on by using first-principles calculation and molecular dynamics. This application implements interfaces with various programs such as VASP, LAMMPS, MOPAC, GULP, JDFTx, etc, and runs efficiently on parallel computing architectures.

Allegro

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

Open source software for constructing the Allegro potential model based on E(3)-equivariant graph neural networks and using the potential model for molecular dynamics simulations. The code depends on NequIP and can be run in a similar manner. Allegro scales better than NequIP since it doesn’t rely on message passing and the architecture is strictly local with respect to atom-wise environments.

pacemaker

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

Software tool for constructing interatomic potentials based on nonlinear atomic cluster expansion. It requires the user to either prepare a fitting dataset based on pandas and ASE, or it can automatically extract data from VASP calculation results. The obtained potentials can be used for molecular dynamics simulations using LAMMPS, and it also provides the capability to calculate extrapolation grades for on-the-fly active learning.

i-PI

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

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.
