CPMD

CPMD (Carr-Parrinello molecular dynamics) is a parallelized plane wave/pseudopotential implementation of density-functional theory, particularly designed for ab-initio molecular dynamics. CPMD is copyrighted jointly by IBM Corp and by Max Planck Institute, Stuttgart, and is distributed free of charge to non-profit organizations.
