SiSuan wants to mind the DFT workflow—not the physics
SiSuan is an invite-only AI-assisted workflow tool for computational materials research, organizing DFT calculations from planning and input generation through job monitoring and research notes.
- For
- Computational materials researchers planning DFT workflows
- Worth noticing
- The page reports 3,221 collected backend tests, while explicitly distinguishing those from an end-to-end run on a VASP-equipped machine.
Field notes
The described pipeline separates deciding what a calculation needs from translating that need into settings for a particular code. Its NiO walkthrough shows this with spin polarization and DFT+U, while the page says unresolved material properties are blocked rather than filled with defaults. The site also distinguishes collected backend tests and input-generation testing from a full VASP job cycle, which it says remains uncompleted.
