New SIESTA webinar

22 Sep 2020

On the 22nd September 2020, the MaX (Materials design at the eXascale) European Centre of Excellence held the “New developments in SIESTA for high-performance materials simulation” webinar.

The webinar consisted of a series of short talks by key SIESTA academics, developers, and a support provider. They constitute a nice introduction to SIESTA, from the basics to the cutting-edge development of the software. Please find below copies of the slides and direct links to the recorded presentations:
