There has been a paradigm shift in the last few years, in the domain of computational materials science. Efficient computational resources are enabling researchers to generate a large amount of data. Moreover, advancement in data science techniques is making it possible to interpret a large amount of data for certain materials property as well as predicting new materials. A number of highly efficient applications are being developed to handle a huge number of calculations altogether.
CINEMAS has been conceptualized to facilitate calculations through an easy-to-use integrated graphical user interface(GUI). CINEMAS can prepare, execute, and manage tens of thousands of calculations from a single canvas. CINEMAS can perform Density Functional Theory(DFT) calculations primarily and also secondary calculations additionally, using DFT output data. Several required tools such as visualizer, plotter, connections, file-transfer, drawing are stitched together to build CINEMAS as an integrated efficient-GUI based platform.
CINEMAS has the same design for its user-interface, screenshots from the supported OSs(Windows,Linux, and MacOS) are shown throughout the documentation.
