Dear Quantum ESPRESSO users, we are happy to announce that AiiDA - a materials' informatics Python platform to manage, store, organize, query and share large amounts of data, calculations, and workflows - has been recently released and can be freely downloaded from the website http://www.aiida.net.
A preprint describing AiiDA is available on arXiv at http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.01163 while extensive code documentation for users and developers (installation instructions, tutorials, user and development manuals) is distributed with the code and available online at http://aiida-core.readthedocs.org/en/stable/ The core of the software ("aiida_core") is released under an open-source MIT license and can be freely downloaded (no registration necessary) from the AiiDA website or from BitBucket: http://www.aiida.net/?page_id=264 https://bitbucket.org/aiida_team/aiida_core "aiida_core" is complemented by an extended set of plugins; these are free and distributed with the code provided you belong to an academic institution. These plugins provide support for various simulation packages, including the Quantum ESPRESSO codes pw.x, cp.x, ph.x, matdyn.x, q2r.x. This extended version ("aiida_epfl", that includes "aiida_core") can be obtained from http://theossrv1.epfl.ch/aiida_download/ Hoping that you may find AiiDA useful for your research, Giovanni Pizzi on behalf of the AiiDA team (http://www.aiida.net/?page_id=34) -- Giovanni Pizzi Post-doctoral Research Scientist EPFL STI IMX THEOS MXC 340 (Bâtiment MXC) Station 12 CH-1015 Lausanne (Switzerland) Phone: +41 21 69 31124 _______________________________________________ Pw_forum mailing list [email protected] http://pwscf.org/mailman/listinfo/pw_forum
