Michael Herbst<p>We just released <a href="https://social.epfl.ch/tags/DFTK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DFTK</span></a> version 0.7.10: <a href="http://dftk.org/releases" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="">dftk.org/releases</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> with an important bug fix for meta-GGA band structure computations and some details how to use DFTK on GPUs.
