Overview:

NWChem is a comprehensive software package for atomistic simulations widely used in chemistry, biology, and material science areas.  Capabilities include force field based methods as well as first principles based methods. Besides robust implementations of Density Functional Theory with a wide range of modern functionals, there are also implemented most of the wave function based methods, such as CI, MP, CC, for very accurate calculations of various electronic structure properties. It is optimized on various computer platforms for massively parallel calculations. Simulations for both periodic systems and non-periodic systems are supported.
