GPAW

A Python-oriented PAW electronic-structure code with plane-wave, real-space finite-difference and atomic-orbital representations, integrated with ASE.

Where it fits

Reproducible Python-driven studies of molecules, surfaces and periodic materials.

Limits and practical considerations

Method and hardware support differ by representation; GPU support is not universal across modes.

Licensing and access

GPL version 3 or later; PAW datasets and dependencies should also be checked.
