exciting

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

An open-source application for first-principles calculation based on all-electron calculations. In addition to ground-state energy and forces on atoms obtained by density functional theory, it focuses on investigation of excited state properties using time-dependent density functional theory as well as many-body perturbation theory. It is parallelized using MPI and is also optimized for multithreaded math libraries such as BLAS and LAPACK.

GAMESS-UK

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

An application for ab initio quantum chemical calculation. This application performs electronic structure calculation of molecules by the Hartree-Fock, density functional, many-body perturbation, configuration interaction theories, and so on. This application is free only for academic use in United Kingdom. Although it histrically shares core programs with GAMESS-US, different functions have been added in later development.

CONQUEST

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

CONQUEST is a linear-scaling DFT (Density Functional Theory) code based on the density matrix minimization method. Since its computational cost, for both memory and computational costs, is only proportional to the number of atoms N of the target systems, the code can employ structure optimization or molecular dynamics on very large-scale systems, including more than hundreds of thousands of atoms. It also has high parallel efficiency and is suitable for massively parallel calculations.

GAMESS-US

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

An open-source application for ab initio quantum chemical calculation. This application performs electronic structure calculation of molecules by the Hartree-Fock, density functional, many-body perturbation, configuration interaction theories, and so on. Even though this application is freeware, it succeeds in maintaining high-quality and high-performance codes by active development, and has a number of world-wide users. It histrically shares core programs with GAMESS-UK.
