Re: Extensible Simulation Package for Research on Soft matter
Hi Andreas,
other candidates in this category are, IMHO,
| QUANTUMESPRESSO | http://www.quantum-espresso.org/
Integrated suite of computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and
materials modeling at the nanoscale. It is based on density-functional theory,
plane waves, and pseudopotentials (both norm-conserving and ultrasoft).
PWscf http://www.pwscf.org/
Computer code for electronic-structure calculations within Density-Functional
Theory and Density-Functional Perturbation Theory, using pseudopotentials and a
plane-wave basis set.
CP2K http://cp2k.berlios.de/
Perform atomistic and molecular simulations of solid state, liquid, molecular
and biological systems. It provides a general framework for different methods
such as e.g. density functional theory (DFT) using a mixed Gaussian and plane
waves approach (GPW), and classical pair and many-body potentials.
As it happens I'm working at SCAI, but not in the mentioned project. The compute
kernel of ESPResSo++ shall be developed at MPI for Polymer Research.

Jörg-Volker.
