DAMMIF, a revised implementation of the ab-initio shape-determination program DAMMIN
for small-angle scattering data, is presented. The program was fully rewritten, and its
algorithm was optimized for speed of execution and modified to avoid limitations due to the
finite search volume. Symmetry and anisometry constraints can be imposed on the particle
shape, similar to DAMMIN. In equivalent conditions, DAMMIF is 25–40 times faster than
DAMMIN on a single CPU. The possibility to utilize multiple CPUs is added to DAMMIF. The …

The possibility to utilize multiple CPUs is added to DAMMIF. The application is available in binary form for major platforms.
