CP2K

CP2K is a quantum chemistry and solid state physics software package that can perform atomistic simulations of solid state, liquid, molecular, periodic, material, crystal, and biological systems. CP2K provides a general framework for different modeling methods such as DFT using the mixed Gaussian and plane waves approaches GPW and GAPW. Supported theory levels include DFTB, LDA, GGA, MP2, RPA, semi-empirical methods (AM1, PM3, PM6, RM1, MNDO, ...), and classical force fields (AMBER, CHARMM, ...). CP2K can do simulations of molecular dynamics, metadynamics, Monte Carlo, Ehrenfest dynamics, vibrational analysis, core level spectroscopy, energy minimization, and transition state optimization using NEB or dimer method.

CP2K is written in Fortran 2003 and can be run efficiently in parallel using a combination of multi-threading, MPI, and CUDA.

Downloading CP2K source code

To clone the current master (development version):

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/cp2k/cp2k.git cp2k

Note the --recursive flag that is needed because CP2K uses git submodules.

To clone a release version vx.y:

$ git clone -b support/vx.y https://github.com/cp2k/cp2k.git cp2k

For more information on downloading CP2K, see Downloading CP2K. For help on git, see Git Tips & Tricks.
