Scientists seeking a tool to conduct large-scale, accurate quantum chemistry simulations efficiently

About Promethium

Promethium is a GPU-powered chemistry simulation platform designed to accelerate drug and materials development by enabling faster and more accurate quantum chemistry calculations. Built from the ground up for NVIDIA datacenter GPUs like A100, it employs novel QC Ware streaming algorithms to achieve unprecedented computational speed and high throughput-to-power consumption ratios. It supports density functional theory calculations on systems with up to 2,000 atoms, allowing simulations of large molecular systems that are not feasible with legacy CPU-powered ab initio codes. For instance, a single-point calculation of a 2,056-atom protein can be completed in 14 hours on a single GPU. Promethium offers a range of capabilities, including single-point energy calculations, geometry optimization, conformer search, torsion scan, reaction path optimization, transition state optimization, interaction energy computations, and relaxed potential energy surface scans.

ESPResSo
ESPResSo
ESPResSo, the Extensible Simulation Package for Research on Soft Matter, is a highly versatile open source simulation package for performing and analyzing scientific molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo many-particle simulations. It is designed as a universal tool for simulating a variety of soft matter systems, especially coarse-grained atomistic or bead-spring models used in physics, chemistry, molecular biology, and process engineering. ESPResSo can be used to simulate polymers, liquid crystals, colloids, polyelectrolytes, ferrofluids, gels, biological systems, DNA, lipid membranes, bacterial motion, and super-capacitors. In coarse-grained models, a group of atoms or molecules is treated as a single bead, allowing researchers to investigate larger time and length scales than would be practical with fully atomistic simulations. ESPResSo supports classical molecular dynamics simulations in different statistical ensembles.
