Release

ver.1.0 was released!

Please download abics-v1.0.0.tar.gz (not "Source code") because this file contains manual-pdf files

What's new (from v0.1)

  • Main script abics
    • new feature
      • Structure optimization
      • Reload the structure and temperature of the last step of the last simulation, and restart Monte Carlo sampling (reload)
      • Sequentially invoke the solver using multiple baseinput files while inheriting the structure(multistep)
  • Library
    • OpenMX is now supported
    • For QE, how to split CPU cores is now specified (so-called parallel levels)
    • A bug that on reload the first structure of the second simulation was the same as the last structure of the first simulation is fixed
    • Docstrings (API reference) are added
    • Unittests are added
  • Utility tools
    • st2abics is added
      • A tool for converting a structure file such as POSCAR and CIF file to the structure data for abICS
    • abicsRXsepT is added
      • A tool for generating the result for each temperature from the result of each replica

What's new (from v1.0-beta)

    • Sequentially invoke the solver using multiple baseinput files while inheriting the structure(multistep)
  • Library
    • For QE, how to split CPU cores is now specified (so-called parallel levels)
    • Now perturb only coordinates to be optimized
      • Fixed an error termination bug of the restart calculation using seldyn (changed to skip the process of recalculating the previous last structure when restarting).
