#hVMC hVMC is a free Variational Monte Carlo code for the Hubbard model. I wrote hVMC as a part of my master's thesis in physics. It is written in C++11 and I have tried to keep the amount of code not immediately related to the actual calculation (e.g. IO, communication, command line parsing) to a minimum. To this purpose hVMC makes heavy use of template libraries like the STL, Boost and Eigen3. I spent a lot of time profiling and optimizing hVMC to make sure it runs as fast as possible. A particularly nice feature is that hVMC performs some (the most expensive) calculations in single precision and keeps track of resulting floating point errors at runtime in order to ensure the validity of the results. hVMC is parallelized using MPI and should run efficiently on any distributed memory machine, even one where not all processors are equally fast. For large enough calculations I have seen practically linear scaling up to hundreds of processors. The documentation of hVMC is a bit lacking as I had very little time between the submission of my master's thesis and the start of my PhD studies. The closest thing to a hVMC documentation is actually my master's thesis itself, which not only includes all the theoretical background and a discription of the hVMC internals, but also has an appendix that descibes how to build and use hVMC. My thesis is part of the hVMC repository and can be found in docs/thesis.pdf. I hope that hVMC is useful!
