  Driven by the unprecedented computational power available to scientific
research, the use of computers in solid-state physics, chemistry and materials
science has been on a continuous rise. This review focuses on the software used
for the simulation of matter at the atomic scale. We provide a comprehensive
overview of major codes in the field, and analyze how citations to these codes
in the academic literature have evolved since 2010. An interactive version of
the underlying data set is available at https://atomistic.software .
