CPMD
| Description |
CPMD is a well parallelized, plane wave/pseudopotential implementation of Denisty Functional Theory, developed especially for ab-inito molecular dynamics. It was developed at IBM Zurich Research Laboratory.
The current version, 3.15, is copyrighted jointly by IBM Corp and by Max Planck Institute, Stuttgart, and is distributed free of charge to non-profit organizations ( see download ). Profit organizations interested at the code should contact the developer.
CPMD runs on many different computer architectures and it is well parallelized (MPI and Mixed MPI/SMP).
The CPMD web site lists the following features for CPMD:
- Works with norm conserving or ultrasoft pseudopotentials
- LDA, LSD and the most popular gradient correction schemes; free energy density functional implementation
- Isolated systems and system with periodic boundary conditions; k-points
- Molecular and crystal symmetry
- Wavefunction optimization: direct minimization and diagonalization
- Geometry optimization: local optimization and simulated annealing
- Molecular dynamics: constant energy, constant temperature and constant pressure
- Path integral MD
- Response functions
- Excited statesMany electronic properties
- Time-dependent DFT (excitations, molecular dynamics in excited states)
- Coarse-grained non-Markovian metadynamics
