RMG is a density functional theory (DFT) based electronic structure code that uses real space grids to represent wavefunctions, charge densities and ionic potentials. Designed for scaleability it has been run successfully on systems with thousands of nodes and hundreds of thousands of CPU cores. It is currently under active development and contributions are gladly accepted.
Features
- Ab initio self consistent electronic structure code based on density functional theory
