Software development and contributions

  • A. Levitt has implemented a method to construct maximally-localized Wannier functions for metals. A. Levitt and S. Siraj-Dine have implemented a method for the computation of Wannier functions of topological insulators. Both these methods are available at https://github.com/antoine-levitt/wannier.

  • J. Roussel and G. Stoltz have restructured the SIMOL code, in particular separating core functions, routines for quantum simulations and advanced features for molecular dynamics, in order to obtain a simpler and more accessible base code. The code is available at https://gitlab.inria.fr/matherials/simol/.

  • A first implementation of the Generalized Parallel Replica algorithm, developed by F. Hédin and T. Lelièvre, is available at https://gitlab.inria.fr/parallel-replica/gen.parRep. The objective of the gen.parRep software is to popularize the use of the Parallel Replica algorithm to biological systems. Molecular dynamics is performed by using external codes linked to this program such as OpenMM. This is the first publicly available implementation of the Generalized Parallel Replica method targeting frequently encountered metastable biochemical systems, such as conformational equilibria or dissociation of protein-ligand complexes. We refer to the preprint [22] for more details.
