Why is it important?
This code provides state-of-the-art methods for efficient and accurate atomistic simulations. In particular, this open source code aims to provide a broad range of computational methods and simulation approaches suitable for extended condensed-phase systems. The possibility of choosing the most adequate approach for a given problem and the flexibility of combining different computational methods are among the greatest strenghts of the code.
Perspectives
Performing accurate computer simulation allows us to investigate systems and phenomena that otherwise would be too difficult, expensive, or simply impossible to study experimentally. In perspective, the ever-growing performances of computers will further increase the contribution of computational approaches to scientific research.
