If you are at Mississippi State using VASP, first you will need to make sure the correct software is setup when you log on to the cluster. It is not free software, and the source code is not freely distributed VASP Group at University of Vienna (Austria) Please contact Dr.Seong-Gon Kim for more information).

Installed version 4.6 with limited license (not available for general CAVS users. Theoretical background on the underlying theory is to be presented by invited speakers, and who will also focus on the best practices for running VASP calculations.Vienna Ab-Initio Simulation Package (VASP) It enables MPI and Open MP parallelism, and prior to 2011, first efforts on GPU acceleration with CUDA C were considered.ĭuring the meeting considerations on how to run VASP efficiently in national HPC facilities (i.e. The software has been developed/refractored by the Kresse group at the University of Vienna and VASP Software GmbH for about ~25 years. The software is able to tackle problems with 1-1000s atoms and applications are widely used to perform simulations of liquids, crystals, magnetism, semiconductor/insulators, surfaces, catalysts.

It is based on the atomic scale modeling from first principles by solving the many-body Schrödinger-type equation, the Kohn-Sham equations (Density Functional Theory DFT). The Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP) is one of the leading electronic structure software to study chemical / physical properties and reactions paths of solids, surfaces, and interfaces.
