Allegro

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

Open source software for constructing the Allegro potential model based on E(3)-equivariant graph neural networks and using the potential model for molecular dynamics simulations. The code depends on NequIP and can be run in a similar manner. Allegro scales better than NequIP since it doesn’t rely on message passing and the architecture is strictly local with respect to atom-wise environments.

pacemaker

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

Software tool for constructing interatomic potentials based on nonlinear atomic cluster expansion. It requires the user to either prepare a fitting dataset based on pandas and ASE, or it can automatically extract data from VASP calculation results. The obtained potentials can be used for molecular dynamics simulations using LAMMPS, and it also provides the capability to calculate extrapolation grades for on-the-fly active learning.

DC

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

An electronic state solver distributed with GAMESS, the quantum chemical (QM) calculation software. Combining energy density analysis and Divide-and-Conquer (DC) method, accurate QM calculation with electronic correlation is solved in a short time. Highly accurate QM calculations for many-atom/nano-scale material can be solved when run on a high performance super computer.

ShengBTE

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

A Boltzmann transport equation solver for calculating lattice thermal conductivity based on phonon information obtained from first-principles calculations. It takes into account three-phonon interactions and enables first-principles analysis of thermal transport properties in solids, including anisotropic crystals, complex structures, and those containing defects. Tutorials and input-support tools are also provided. A tool for calculating third-order force constants (thirdorder.py) is also available on the same website.

FourPhonon

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

A software package for calculating lattice thermal conductivity based on phonon information obtained from first-principles calculations, including four-phonon scattering processes. It extends ShengBTE to account for four-phonon interactions that become dominant at high temperatures. The program enables quantitative analysis of the competition between three- and four-phonon interactions as well as temperature dependence, allowing for more accurate evaluation of thermal transport properties.

Matbench Discovery

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

A benchmark framework for evaluating general-purpose, i.e., universal, machine learning potentials, along with a leaderboard based on those evaluations. Rankings are determined by a comprehensive assessment that considers the accuracy of predicted formation energy of materials, structural relaxation, and thermal conductivity. Recently, in addition to public research institutions such as universities, major companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Google have also joined the development of universal potentials, taking top positions on the leaderboard.

FPLO

  • Level of openness 0 ☆☆☆
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

An application for first-principles calculation based on the all-electron method with localized bases. Compared with the standard all-electron method (the full-potential LAPW method), this application uses a less number of bases keeping accuracy of calculation, and realize high-speed electronic state calculation by the density functional method. This application also supports calculation for disordered structures by coherent potential approximation (CPA), relativistic effect, and the LSDA+U method.

NWChem

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

An open-source application for general-purpose quantum chemical calculation, laying emphasis on excited states and time evolution. It is based on time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and the QM/MM calculation. It enables efficient massive parallel computing up to one hundred thousands processes. It supports the relativistic effect and offers the basis choice between the Gaussian basis and the plane-wave basis.
