ALPS is a numerical simulation library for strongly correlated systems such as magnetic materials or correlated electrons. It contains typicalsolvers for strongly correlated systems: Monte Carlo methods, exact diagonalization, the density matrix renormalization group, etc. It can be used to calculate heat capacities, susceptibilities, magnetization processes in interacting spin systems, the density of states in strongly correlated electrons, etc. A highly efficient scheduler for parallel computing is another improvement.

An open-source application for quantum chemical calculation. This application can perform quantum chemical calculation based on the Hartree-Fock method and the density functional method. The code is developed on the emphasis of readability and flexibility, and can be called from Python scripts. Quantum chemical calculation based on two-electron wave functions (geminals) is also possible.
An open-source application for micromagnetic simulation optimized for general-purpose computing on GPU. This application can calculate spatial distribution of magnetization with speed of more than 100 times compared with CPU calculation. This application can also treat the RKKY interaction, effect of spin injection, and Voronoi diagrams. It supports remote computing using its web-GUI system.
Open-source program for first-principles calculation based on pseudo-potential and plane-wave basis. This package performs electronic-state calculation with high accuracy based on density functional theory. In addition to basic-set programs, many core-packages and plugins are included. This package can be utilized for academic research and industrial development, and also supports parallel computing.
An open source application to simulate crystal structures and to calculate and refine against diffraction pattern and the pair distribution function. A special emphasis placed is on the simulation of materials with disorder and the package provides many tools to create and distribute defects throughout the crystal. Another strong feature is the simulation of nanoparticles.
An application for visualization of large-scale many-particle simulation. This application can visualize information on a large number of particles treated in calculation of gravitational many-body problems, and provides many features for creating animations. It implements high-speed visualization with OpenGL, and supports graphical user interface (GUI) for operations.
z-Pares is an app for obtaining the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for general sparse matrices using the contour integrals in the complex plane, i.e., Sakurai-Sugiura method. z-Parels is written in fortran 90/95 and supports the large scale parallelization via the two-level MPI distributed parallelism.
Program package for first-principles calculation based on all-electron calculation method and augmented plane-wave basis. This package performs electronic-state calculation such as band calculation of solids, structure optimization, first-principles molecular dynamics, and so on. All-electron method, which treats core electrons, improves accuracy in calculation compared with pseudo-potential method, and enables us to obtain chemical shifts related to core electrons. This payware can be used by making a contract with the developer.
Open-source software for analyzing scientific data. DAWN can visualize data in various dimensions, from 1D to 3D, and it is also possible to create maps that plot different types of data. It can not only visualize data, but also process data, such as fitting for peak detection. It supports general data formats such as text files and HDF5, as well as data formats such as NeXus, which is used in X-ray experiments.
