Advanced atomistic simulation: new build installation system to improve User experience - RESCU+ and NanoDCAL+

Release of a new version of some of the most advanced atomistic solutions on the market: RESCU+ & NanoDCAL+ (V2024.4.0). Build installation system is enhanced.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA, April 22, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- We are excited to release not only an updated version of the RESCU+ and NanoDCAL+ build installation system but a completely new one: this is part of version 2024.4.0 available for download on our User portal (https://portal.nanoacademic.com/ ).

As described on our Documentation portal (See release note links below where tutorials, technological background, user manuals, etc), the installation process has been significantly enhanced to simplify the setup by our users and make sure that all dependencies and configurations are automatically handled for both our latest atomistic tool versions RESCU+ and NanoDCAL+.

RESCU+ and NanoDCAL+ are the improved versions written in Fortran of our legacy software RESCU for atomistic physics modeling and NanoDCAL for quantum transport simulation respectively.

But what are RESCU+ and NanoDCAL+ exactly ? *

RESCU+ (Real space Electronic Structure CalcUlator plus) is designed to offer a complete large-scale DFT solution. More specifically, it is an optimized, general-purpose Kohn–Sham DFT package including all the features listed below and more. It offers complementary features to its predecessor RESCU, such as AIMD and nudged elastic band method (NEB). With a convenient and easy-to-use Python API to an efficient and optimized Fortran core, plus a dedicated AI module (still under development in alpha phase), it offers better than ever parallelism and improved calculation times especially on clusters and supercomputers by at least one order of magnitude **. RESCU/RESCU+ are well fitted to study advanced materials and applications such as 2D nanomaterials (graphene + hBN and all sorts of heterostructures), Scanning Probe Microscopy (such as STM/AFM), optical properties, and more.

NanoDCAL+ (Nano DFT CALculator plus) is an LCAO implementation of NEGF–DFT. It is a general-purpose tool for ab initio modeling of non-equilibrium quantum transport. It inherits from NanoDCAL which has been used in hundreds of scientific publications in domains as varied as molecular electronics, nanotubes, topological insulators/conductors, energy storage materials, magnetic tunnel junctions, metal grain boundaries (effects in batteries for example), spintronics and more. Its complementary set of features makes the best technological base for your material science R&D projects at atomic scale.

About the installation process, we knew this process was an uneasy path for non-expert users but now, it has become very convenient to setup and execute our atomistic software, feel free to test and see the difference as it runs and install automatically all the software files and dependencies.

More to come soon as we plan to release another major user experience improvement later this year.


* These 2 pieces of software only support Linux based systems for now.
** Results based on several benchmarks performed on advanced HPC systems for very large atomic systems (10k+ atoms).
