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).
A first principles calculation program using all electron mixture based approach. It targets broad physical systems such as isolated systems, surfaces and interfaces, and crystals, and it calculates all electronic states from core electrons to valence electrons. It deals with calculation methods such as the GW method, and also deals with parallel calculations. It can execute with high accuracy molecular dynamics calculations for electronic excited states based on time dependent density functional theory.
An application for semi-empirical quantum chemistry calculation. Special emphasis is placed on molecular dynamics simulations, and is able to run efficiently on large-scale cluster computer systems using OpenMP/MPI hybrid parallelism. The code is still under development, but the source code is distributed freely under the GPL license.
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.
An open-source application for molecular modeling and visualization. This application supports data formats of Gaussian, GAMESS, ADF, and Molden, and has various options for drawing such as orbital, electron density, solvent accessible surface, van der Waals radii, and so on. It implements high-speed and high-quality rendering technology, and runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
An open-source solver for the impurity problem based on the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method. Imaginary-time Green’s functions of the impurity Anderson model and the effective impurity model in the dynamical mean-field approximation can be calculated with high speed by using an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm. The main programs are written by C++, and can be called from Python scripts.
An open-source application for first-principles calculation based on pseudo- potential and real-space basis. It performs electronic-state calculation such as band calculation of solids and structure optimization for a variety of physical systems. The method of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is implemented, which allows simulation of dynamical phenomena with real-time evolution of electronic states, such as chemical reaction and electronic response to time-dependent external fields. Comes with detailed tutorials and comprehensive manuals.
An interface tool for combining first-principles calculation based on density functional theory (DFT) and TRIQS, the application for dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). By combining Wien2k and TRIQS, self-consistent DFT+DMFT calculation can be realized by this tool. One-shot DFT+DMFT calculation using band structures obtained by other first-principles applications is also possible.
An open-source application for semi-empirical quantum chemical calculation based on NDDO (neglect of diatomic differential overlap) approximation. This program calculates, for a given molecule or a crystal, molecular orbits and atomic forces, as well as vibration spectra, thermal quantities (heat of formation etc.), isotopic exchange effect, force constant, and so on. It can also treat radicals and ions.
Parsec is a DFT program package based on real space basis and norm-conserving pseudopotential.
