Hotbit

Hotbit is an ASE density-functional tight-binding calculator that aims to provide an open-source DFTB code, a handy companion for DFT, a compact and accessible code for everyone to inspect and modify, an intuitive user interface (ideal for learning and teaching realistic electronic structure simulations), DFTB parametrization suite including interface to libxc.

Regular Usage

FHI-aims

FHI-aims is an efficient, accurate all-electron, full-potential electronic structure code package for computational molecular and materials science (non-periodic and periodic systems). The code supports DFT (semilocal and hybrid) and many-body perturbation theory. FHI-aims is particularly efficient for molecular systems and nanostructures, while maintaining high numerical accuracy for all production tasks. Production calculations handle up to several thousand atoms and can efficiently use (ten) thousands of cores.

FHI-aims is developed by an active, globally distributed community, including significant developments at FHI, Duke University, TU Munich, USTC Hefei, Aalto University, University of Luxembourg, TU Graz, Cardiff University and many other institutions.

GROMACS

GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics, i.e. simulate the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with hundreds to millions of particles.
It is primarily designed for biochemical molecules like proteins, lipids and nucleic acids that have a lot of complicated bonded interactions, but since GROMACS is extremely fast at calculating the nonbonded interactions (that usually dominate simulations) many groups are also using it for research on non-biological systems, e.g. polymers.
