NWChem

NWChem is a computational chemistry package that is designed to run on high-performance parallel supercomputers as well as conventional workstation clusters. It aims to be scalable both in its ability to treat large problems efficiently, and in its usage of available parallel computing resources. Read More »

Q-Chem

Q-Chem is a modern object oriented quantum chemistry program. A variety of electronic structure methods (Hartree-Fock/SCF ,DFT, MPn, Coupled Cluster) are available. Q-Chem also includes a suite of tools for chemical and spectroscopic properties analysis. Read More »

GROMACS

GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics, i.e. simulate the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with hundreds to millions of particles. It is primarily designed for biochemical molecules like proteins, lipids and nucleic acids that have a lot of complicated bonded interactions, but since GROMACS is extremely fast at calculating the nonbonded interactions (that usually dominate simulations) many groups are also using it for research on non-biological systems, e.g. polymers.
