Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Release of CONQUEST (No replies)
Back to General announcements...
We are happy to announce that CONQUEST, a large scale DFT code, is now available as an open source project (MIT licence). While it is a complete, robust code, we are designating this release as a pre-release, as there are some changes that will be made over the next few months to improve the user-friendliness of the code.
At present, we are looking for early adopters to use the code, submit bug reports and suggestions improvement. We particularly welcome new developers of the code. The present roadmap for the code can be seen on the GitHub issues page.
The full release (v1.0) of CONQUEST will mainly involve improved output and tutorials being provided, at which point it will be suitable for all users.
The capabilities of CONQUEST at present include:
