Elastic

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

Elastic is a set of python routines for calculation of elastic properties of crystals (elastic constants, equation of state, sound velocities, etc.).  It is implemented as a extension to the Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) system.  There is a script providing interface to the library not requiring knowledge of python or ASE system.

ALPS

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

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.
