The Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) is a software package for performing electronic structure calculations with periodic boundary conditions. It is most commonly used that to perform density functional theory (DFT) calculations in a planewave basis using the projector augemented wave (PAW) method. A more complete description of VASP can be found [here](https://www.vasp.at).

Users must have a license to use this code on ALCF systems. More information on how to get access to VASP binaries can be found [here](
https://docs.alcf.anl.gov/theta/applications-and-libraries/applications/vasp/).
