PCoMS OpenMX Hands-on Seminar2020
overview & application form
| What is OpenMX? |
OpenMX (Open source package for Material eXplorer) is a software package for nano-scale material simulations based on density functional theories (DFT), norm-conserving pseudopotentials, and pseudo-atomic localized basis functions. The efficient implementation of DFT used in OpenMX enables us to investigate electronic, magnetic, and geometrical structures of a wide variety of materials such as biological molecules, carbon-based materials, magnetic materials, and nanoscale conductors. Even ab initio electronic structure calculations for systems consisting of more than 10000 atoms are possible with the O(N) method implemented in OpenMX if several thousands cores on a parallel computer are available. [cited from "User's manual of OpenMX Ver. 3.9" URL: http://www.openmx-square.org/] Please participate in our seminar and try using OpenMX. OpenMX（Open source package for Material eXplorer）は密度汎関数理論（DFT）、ノルム保存型擬ポテンシャルおよび擬原子基底関数に基づき、 原子レベルから物質の第一原理シミュレーションを実行するためのソフトウェア・パッケージです。 OpenMXにおいて実現されたDFTの効率的な実装により、炭素系材料、生体分子、磁性体およびナノスケール電気伝導体など幅広い物質の 幾何構造、電子構造、また磁気構造などを第一原理的に計算することが可能です。 数百コアを有する並列コンピュータを使用することにより、千個の原子で構成される系を通常の対角化手法を用いて扱うことができます。 さらに数千コアを有する並列コンピュータを使用すれば、一万個以上の原子から構成される系の第一原理による電子状態計算さえも、 OpenMXに実装されているO(N)法を用いて実行可能です。［「OpenMX Ver. 3.8 ユーザーマニュアル」より抜粋] この機会に是非ハンズオン講習会にご参加ください。 |

| Overview / 概要： |
The hands-on workshop will provide a good opportunity to learn practical aspects of density functional theories (DFT) calculations in a concise way to students and researchers who are interested in DFT calculations by OpenMX. The series of lectures in the hands-on workshop will start from an introductory lecture on fundamentals of density functional theories (DFT), and followed by lectures concerning practical implementations of OpenMX and its advanced extensions. Each of lectures is accompanied with a tutorial session so that participants can experience actual calculations based on the lectures. |

| Notes / 備考： |
Notes to participants in the tutorial sessions You should bring your laptop machine with X-terminal supporting ssh. You will be provided an account for a PC cluster installed in the ISSP so that you can login the machine via ssh and run OpenMX. The installation of OpenMX on the PC cluster will be done by the ISSP. We assume that you are familiar with linux and an editor such as vi and emacs. We will not have any course about how to use linux in the tutorial sessions. If you are not familiar with those computer literacy, we stongly recommend you to learn those issues as a homework before the participation of the hands-on workshop. As for the file transfer between your laptop and the PC cluster, we recommend software WinSCP for windows users. Also, we recommend OpenMX Viewer, VESTA and XCrySDen for visualization. The latter two software should be installed on your laptop machine before the participation. In addition, it is highly desirable gnuplot to be available on your laptop machine to quickly visualize data. If you are asigned as a participant who will be allowed to accesss a cluster machine, please send us ( mkawamura@issp.u-tokyo.ac.jp ) your public key for ssh. Lecture materials The lecture materials will be available on the website. Please download them, and print out them by yourself before your participation if you need. Also, we provide you the English manual of OpenMX Ver. 3.9 at the venue. 質疑応答は、日本語でも可能です。 |
