PyADF -- A scripting framework for multiscale quantum chemistry

Résumé

Applications of quantum chemistry have evolved from single or a few calculations to more complicated workflows, in which a series of interrelated computational tasks is performed. In particular multiscale simulations, which combine different levels of accuracy, typically require a large number of individual calculations that depend on each other. Consequently, there is a need to automate such workflows. For this purpose we have developed PyAdf, a scripting framework for quantum chemistry. PyAdf handles all steps necessary in a typical workflow in quantum chemistry and is easily extensible due to its object-oriented implementation in the Python programming language. We give an overview of the capabilities of PyAdf and illustrate its usefulness in quantum-chemical multiscale simulations with a number of examples taken from recent applications.
