We are pleased that you are using VASP.5 in your research. Perhaps some recent developments in VASP.6 will help you to run larger simulations or investigate new material properties.
Highlights:
-
The new on-the-fly algorithms to machine-learn force fields accelerate molecular-dynamics simulations by many orders of magnitude. This allows you to investigate larger systems for significantly longer simulation times.
-
Adiabatically compressing exchange for hybrid functionals and the cubic scaling RPA and GW code accelerate the computation of the exchange-correlation energy in these advanced techniques.
-
Many high-performance computing centers offer GPU accelerators. With the OpenACC port of VASP.6, you can utilize this computational power efficiently.
You will find a more comprehensive list of the new features in our wiki (https://www.vasp.at/wiki/index.php/Category:VASP6).
If you are interested in any of these features, please get in contact with our licensing team and benefit from the upgrade price of about 1500 € (academic)* and about 3000 € (governmental and non-profit)*. Please note that this offer will expire on June 30, 2023. After that, this price will only apply to upgrades from an expired VASP.6 license.
We hope you will consider this offer and look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards, The VASP team
