Phoebe
A high-performance framework for solving phonon and electron Boltzmann transport equations
Phoebe is an open-source code for the ab-initio computation of electron and phonon transport properties of crystalline materials.
It is designed to take advantage of HPC systems via MPI-OpenMP hybrid parallelism, memory-distributed computing via ScaLAPACK, and GPU accelerated calculation of scattering rates.
