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
  • Gamma and k-point calculations, spin polarization
  • Runs on Linux/Unix, Windows and Mac
  • Highly scalable to thousands of nodes and hundreds of thousands of CPU cores
  • GPU accelerated: supports thousands of GPU-containing nodes with multiple GPU's per node
  • Optional Openbabel support for importing atomic structures
  • Supports both ultrasoft and norm conserving pseudopotentials
  • Wide choice of DFT functionals including van der Waals via vdW-DF
  • Hellman-Feynman forces, structure optimization and molecular dynamics
  • DFT+U, hybrid functionals, spin-orbital coupling, stress tensor
  • To be released: optimally localized orbitals, quantum transport via self-consistent non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism
