Abstract
The Oak–Ridge Wang–Landau (OWL) package is an open-source scientific software specialized for large-scale, Monte Carlo simulations for the study of materials properties at finite temperature. In this paper, we discuss the main features and capabilities of OWL, followed by detailed descriptions of building and running the code. The readers will be guided through the usage and functionality of the code with a few hands-on examples. This paper is based on a tutorial on OWL given at the 32nd Center for Simulational Physics Workshop on Recent Developments in Computer Simulation Studies in Condensed Matter Physics.
