VASP起源于CASTEP，两家的江湖恩怨史在哪可以查到？ 第1页

VASP 大方承认了它的历史，这是我没想到的

简单的说，Mike Payne在MIT写了一版程序，后来回到Cambridge扩展成了CASTEP。

1989年Jürgen Hafner去Cambridge待了半年，把CASTEP当时的版本拷回了Vienna。

1991年开始，在89版的CASTEP上开始开发，后来被起了个新名字VASP。

更牛的是，VASP承认了他们后来再次抄CASTEP代码引起的矛盾：96年，VASP的开发人员Holender，不幸抄了CASTEP的一部分，引起了可以理解的愤怒和骚动。

Sep. 1996: conversion to Fortran 90 (VASP.4.1). The MPI (message passing) parallelisation of the code was started at this time. J.M. Holender, who initially worked on the parallelisation, ``unfortunately'' copied the communication kernels from CETEP to VASP. This was the second time developments originating from CASTEP were included in VASP, which subsequently caused quite some understandable anger and uproar.

本来想评论，还是忍住了。万一再碰到别人饭碗，又要挨骂......
