Description & Use

CP2K is an universal quantum chemistry and solid state physics computational package capable of preforming calculations on all states of matter. The utilized theory levels include DFTB, LDA, GGA, MP2, RPA, semi-empirical methods (AM1, PM3, PM6, RM1, MNDO) and classical force fields (AMBER, CHARMM). Moreover, CP2K can do simulations of molecular dynamics, metadynamics, Monte Carlo, Ehrenfest dynamics, vibrational analysis, core level spectroscopy, energy minimization, and transition state optimization using NEB or dimer method. (Detailed overview of features is available in the homepage.)

Quick start

Use in command line / shell:

cp2k -i [name of input file] -o [name of the output file]
(in Windows command line)

or

./cp2k -i [name of input file] -o [name of the output file]
(in Android shell).

The result will appear in the same location.

Program status

The current package contains CP2K binaries of version 4.0 (Development Version) with the minimal requirements compiled for the particular hardware platforms.  

License

CP2K

The distribution of CP2K binaries is published for free (under GPL v.3) at Mobile Chemistry Portal and Google Play Store with kind permission of Tiziano Müller. Both the slightly modified source codes for generic Android binaries as well as for the binaries adapted to running in a standard Android filesystem (with defined hardlinks to each used file) are available for download below. The included data files (basis sets, manual, examples and tests) were taken from the official source code distribution.

MinGW

The Windows version contains few essential dynamic link libraries which are part of MinGW runtime.

BLAS

CP2K binaries for Android offered by us were statically linked to BLAS library (freely-available software package, available in the homepage). The Windows package contains the corresponding dynamic library.

LAPACK

CP2K binaries for Android offered by us were statically linked to LAPACK library (released under modified BSD license, check the homepage for details). The Windows package contains the corresponding dynamic library.

X11-Basic

GUI of the Windows version was built using X11-Basic (by Markus Hoffmann) framework. For correct functionality, SDL library (available under GNU LGPL license) is included in package.

Advanced Installer

The MSI installer for Windows was created using the Advanced Installer (Freeware edition).
