MuST is an ab initio electronic structure calculation software package, with petascale and beyond computing capability, for the first principles study of quantum phenomena in disordered materials. It is capable of performing KKR, KKR-CPA, and LSMS calculations for ordered or disordered structures.
In the top directory of MuST, there are following files and directories:
DESCRIPTION: A brief description of MuST project
GUIDE: A users guide explaining how to use the package
INSTALL: An instruction for how to build and install MuST
LICENSE: License information
Makefile: the makfile for building MuST
architecture/: contains architecture files for some selected systems and their environments
bin/: contains exectables for running KKR, KKR-CPA, LSMS, and WL-LSMS calculations.
Documentation/: repository for storing instructions, license information, and users guide.
external/: contains external libraries required or optionally required by MuST, e.g., FFTW, Lua, P3DFFT, and LibXC.
lsms/: contains LSMS and WL-LSMS codes targeted to extreme performance on petascale/exascale systems.
MST/: contains MST packages targeted to physics development and capabilities, e.g. FP/MT KKR/LSMS/KKR-CPA, etc.
Potentials/: contains the starting potential for selected elements.
