NECI implements the full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo method, a particularly efficient formulation of the full configuration interaction, which simulates molecular systems containing tens of electrons and obtains their properties with chemical accuracy, including energy spectra, density matrices, reaction pathways, etc.  NECI uses standard four-body integrals produced codes such as PySCF, Molpro, MolCAS, or VASP.  The code is available under the GNU GPLv3 license, uses the HDF5 library for efficient input/output, and is parallelized with MPI, showing near-perfect scaling to tens of thousands of CPU cores.
