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.

Open-source tools and a database for molecular simulation. Data of molecular models (interatomic potentials and force fields), result data of molecular simulation, and test tools can be downloaded freely. API (Application Programming Interface) for exchanging information between atomistic simulation codes and interatomic models is also provided.
A comprehensive online database for materials science. It covers 3,000 kinds of property information (crystal structure, phase diagrams, thermophysical property data, etc.) and 290,000 kinds of material data and provides efficient information search for these data. A variety of analytics tools, including data integration, graphing and customizable data visualization, are also available.
Database of equilibrium phase diagrams of alloys. This database contains more than 40,000 binary and ternary alloy phase diagrams, including associated crystal and reaction data for each phase diagram. One can easily search a target phase diagram by selecting contained elements.
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 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.
An open-source application for molecular simulations. This application supports various methods such as classical and ab initio molecular dynamics, path integral simulations, replica exchange simulations, metadynamics, string method, surface hopping dynamics, QM/MM simulations, and so on. A hierarchical parallelization between molecular structures (replicas) and force fields (adiabatic potentials) enables fast and efficient computation.
A program package for physical properties related to magnetism. This application can evaluate various physical quantities of magnetics such as crystal fields, magnetic structures, thermodynamic quantities (magnetization, specific heat, etc.), and magnetic excitation. This package can also perform fitting analysis of neutron diffraction experiments and resonant X-ray diffraction experiments, and is helpful to experimentalists.
OCTA is an integrated simulation system for soft materials developed by the joint project of industry and academia funded by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry(METI), Japan. OCTA consists of four simulation engines named COGNAC(Molecular dynamics simulation), PASTA(rheology simulation), SUSHI(mean field theory), MUFFIN(continuum theory) and a simulation platform (GOURMET).
An application for prediction of stable and metastable structures from a chemical composition. For prediction of structures, this application combines the first-principles calculation by external packages (VASP, GULP, siesta, Quantum Espresso, STM4, CP2k, etc.) with various efficient algorithms such as the evolutionary algorithm.
It can be applied to prediction of, e.g., structure of crystals under extreme pressure, nanoparticles, and surface reconstruction.
