What's MateriApps LIVE!?

A number of high-performance and high-precision application software for computational materials science simulation have been developed in Japan. The experimentalists and researchers in the private companies, however, don't even know the existence of such applications, and are mainly using open-source software from abroad or commercial software. We are developing MateriApps, a portal site of materials science simulation, aiming at introducing the features and characteristics of various materials science simulation programs that have not been known widely or that are being developed in years to come. As for the open-source software, we also provide an environment with fully-developed manuals and tutorials in order to make it easy for users to try out the software.

日本国内において、計算物質科学シミュレーションのための、高性能・高精度な手法・ソフトウェアが数多く開発されています。しかしながら、実験家・企業研究者にその存在が伝わっておらず、主として海外製の公開ソフトウェア・商用ソフトウェアが使われているのが現状です。我々は、物質科学シミュレーションのポータルサイトMateriAppsの整備を通じ、これまでにあまり知られていなかった国内外で開発された物質科学アプリケーション、あるいは今後開発されるアプリケーションを紹介しています。特に、公開されているソフトウェアについては、充実したマニュアル・チュートリアルなど、利用者が直接ダウンロードして気軽に試すことのできる環境を提供しています。

In the meantime, when trying to try out open-source software, installation of software itself often becomes a serious obstacle. Although we are currently advancing installation of typical applications to domestic supercomputer systems, not all people can have access to such environment.

一方で、公開ソフトウェアを試そうとしたとき、ソフトウェアのインストールそのものが大きな障害となっているのも事実です。我々は国内の代表的なスーパーコンピュータへの代表的なアプリケーションのインストールなども進めていますが、必ずしも全ての人々がそのような環境を利用できるわけではありません。

MateriApps LIVE! offers an environment where one can try out computational materials science simulation freely, using a notebook PC, etc. All environment required to begin tutorials, such as MateriApps applications, OS (Debian GNU/Linux), editors, and visualization tools, is provided in a USB memory stick.

MateriApps LIVE!は、手持ちのノートPCなどを用いて、気軽に計算物質科学アプリケーションを試せる環境を提供します。MateriAppsアプリケーション、OS (Debian GNU/Linux)、エディタ、可視化ツールなど、チュートリアルを始めるのに必要な環境は全て1本のUSBメモリに収められています。
