An open-source application for first-principles calculation utilizing the DV-Xα method. It produces electronic structure for a wide rage of physical systems such as atoms, molecules and crystals. The DV-Xα method realizes high-speed computation for all-electron calculations, and makes it possible to evaluate various physical properties and electron transition probability (especially of core-electron excitation). Tools for supplying input data, and visualizing and post-processing output data are also released.
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.

This application can produce input files of various applications for density functional theory (DFT) calculations via user-friendly parameter adjustment using three-dimensional computer graphics (3DCG) and graphical user interfaces (GUI). Input-file conversion between different applications is also possible.
An open-source application for the first-principles calculation by the all-electron calculation method based on plane wave bases. This application can perform electronic state calculation by the density functional theory (DFT). This appication also supports the LDA+U method, treatment of spin-orbit interaction and noncolinear magnetism, the GW approtimation, and downfolding by the constraint RPA method.
An open-source program package for first-principles calculation based on a mixed augmented plane wave method (the PMT method). For various physical systems, this package performs electronic structure calculation and structure optimization by LDA, GGA, LDA+U and so on. It further can treat quasi-particle excitation with high accuracy by the quasi-particle self-consistent GW method. It implements several original methods not included in other program packages, and is maintained by the version control system, Git.
An application for prediction of stable and metastable structures from a chemical composition. This application applies particle swarm optimization to predict material structures from results of the first-principles calculation by external packages (VASP, CASTEP, Quantum Espresso, GULP, SIESTA, CP2k). It has been applied to predict not only three-dimensional crystal structures, but also those of clusters and surfaces.
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.
An application for numerical renormalization group calculations. This application can solve magnetic impurity problems described by the Kondo model and the Anderson model. Input files are prepared for typical impulity models. By modifying input files, one can study more general models of the magnetic impurity problems. A mathematica program for generation of input files are also included.
An open-source application for the first-principles calculation by the all-electron calculation method based on plane wave bases.
