+SIESTA is both a method and its computer program implementation, to perform
+efficient electronic structure calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics
+simulations of molecules and solids. SIESTA's efficiency stems from the use of
+strictly localized basis sets and from the implementation of linear-scaling
+algorithms which can be applied to suitable systems. A very important feature
+of the code is that its accuracy and cost can be tuned in a wide range, from
+quick exploratory calculations to highly accurate simulations matching the
+quality of other approaches, such as plane-wave and all-electron methods.
