Abstract
DAMMIF, a revised implementation of theab-initioshape-determination programDAMMINfor 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 toDAMMIN. In equivalent conditions,DAMMIFis 25–40 times faster thanDAMMINon a single CPU. The possibility to utilize multiple CPUs is added toDAMMIF. The application is available in binary form for major platforms.Keywords
