Binary packages

Gemmantics provides and maintains binary packages of S/PHI/nX and SxAccelerate for various operating systems.

Selected stand-alone add-ons

Download Sources and Build

Download the source distribution:

  • the complete S/PHI/nX package
  • OR only the S/PHI/nX Accelerate Framework,

If you have downloaded an older patchlevel, you may want to see the Release notes.

Complete S/PHI/nX package:

sphinx-2.0.4.tar.bz2 (10 MB)

The entire S/PHI/nX package consisting of

  • S/PHI/nX program and tools,
  • atomic structure libraries
  • density functional theory library,
  • quantum mechnanical operators and function library,
  • classical potentials library,
  • the S/PHI/nX accelerate framework SxAccelerate.

Unpack the archive 

tar xvjf sphinx-2.0.4.tar.bz2

When done, please check whether you need 3rd-party packages and possibly download our collection of 3rd-party packages (see below). Otherwise, continue with building.

SxAccelerate:

sxaccelerate-1.0.2.tar.bz2 (0.5 MB)

Download only the SxAccelerate Framework consisting of:

  • the file system library,
  • inter-process communication library,
  • file i/o library,
  • numerics framework, and
  • the array, list, and string library.

3rd-party packages:

sx-3rdparty-unix.tar (33 MB)

S/PHI/nX depends on 3rd-party packages. These are not part of S/PHI/nX. To simplify compilation, however, we provide a tarball of free packages that should be sufficient to compile S/PHI/nX on a standard Linux machine (and maybe other operating systems). To use our compilation support for these packages, please unpack the tar archive in the sphinx/sxaccelerate/3rd-party/packages folder AFTER unpacking S/PHI/nX. 

   mv sx-3rdparty-unix.tar sphinx/sxaccelerate/3rd-party/packages/
   cd sphinx/sxaccelerate/3rd-party/packages
   tar xvf sx-3rdparty-unix.tar
   cd ../../../..

When done, please follow the build instructions.

Please note that we cannot help when the 3rd-party packages fail to compile on your system.
