Scientific benchmarks

This page is the complete benchmark catalogue. Each card opens a runnable benchmark report containing its physical state, model choices, provenance, quantitative diagnostics, and downloadable Python source. Expensive quantum or molecular-dynamics calculations are represented by compact, checksummed accepted data; a documentation build never silently recomputes them.

The categories below are only a reading aid. Every benchmark appears exactly once, and the left navigation links directly to the individual reports rather than passing through separate detailed and gallery index levels.

Equilibrium ion structure

These reports compare \(g_{ab}(r)\) or \(S_{ab}(k)\) at \(T_e=T_i\) with published or attributed reference data.

Two-temperature and method validation

These reports test explicitly labelled \(T_e\ne T_i\) states or compare different ionic-structure treatments while holding the electronic pair potential fixed.

Validation and data governance

The validation policy defines acceptance metrics, reference-data provenance, and public-release rules.
