OOPSE is an open-source Object-Oriented Parallel Simulation Engine. |
| 4 |
< |
It is primarily used to perform molecular dynamics simulations on |
| 5 |
< |
"strange" atom types that are not normally handled by other simulation |
| 6 |
< |
packages. This includes atoms with orientational degrees of freedom |
| 7 |
< |
(point dipoles, sticky atoms), as well as transition metals under the |
| 8 |
< |
Embedded Atom Method (EAM). |

OpenMD is an open source molecular dynamics engine which is capable of |
| 4 |
> |
efficiently simulating liquids, proteins, nanoparticles, interfaces, |
| 5 |
> |
and other complex systems using atom types with orientational degrees |
| 6 |
> |
of freedom (e.g. "sticky" atoms, point dipoles, and coarse-grained |
| 7 |
> |
assemblies). Proteins, zeolites, lipids, transition metals (bulk, flat |
| 8 |
> |
interfaces, and nanoparticles) have all been simulated using force |
| 9 |
> |
fields included with the code. OpenMD works on parallel computers |
| 10 |
> |
using the Message Passing Interface (MPI), and comes with a number of |
| 11 |
> |
analysis and utility programs that are easy to use and modify. An |
| 12 |
> |
OpenMD simulation is specified using a very simple meta-data language |
| 13 |
> |
that is easy to learn. |

Simulations are started in OOPSE using two files: |

Simulations are started in OpenMD using a single Molecular Dynamics (.md) |

file. These files must start with the <OpenMD> tag and must |
| 17 |

have two sections: |
| 18 |
|
|
| 19 |
< |
1) a C-based meta-data (.md) file, and |
| 19 |

1) a C-based <MetaData> section, and |
| 20 |
|
|
| 21 |
< |
2) a modified XYZ format for initial coordinate and velocity information. |
| 21 |
> |
2) a <Snapshot> block for initial coordinate and velocity information. |

1) Good C, C++ and Fortran95 compilers. We've built and tested OpenMD |
| 30 |

on the following architecture & compiler combinations: |

We've successfully compiled OOPSE with gcc and g++, as well as |
| 33 |
< |
pgcc and pgCC in linux environments. However, you will need to |
| 34 |
< |
use a Fortran *95* compler for the fortran side of OOPSE, and |
| 35 |
< |
pgf90 does not implement the required portions of the f95 |
| 36 |
< |
language. Fortran77 and Fortran90 (i.e. g77 and pgf90) are *not* |
| 37 |
< |
sufficient to compile the fortran portions of OOPSE. |

2) The Scalable Parallel Random Number Generators Library (SPRNG). You |
| 40 |
< |
can obtain SPRNG here: http://sprng.cs.fsu.edu/ |
| 41 |
< |
SPRNG is a *requirement* for compiling OOPSE. |

OpenMD uses features of the Fortran 95 language. The fortran |
| 40 |
> |
portions of our code will not compile if your compiler does not |
| 41 |
> |
support these particular features. Some (but not all) Fortran 90 |
| 42 |
> |
compilers do support these features. |
| 43 |
|
|
| 44 |
< |
3) MPI. We like MPICH. Other implementations might work, but we |
| 45 |
< |
haven't tried. You can get MPICH here: |
| 45 |
< |
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich/ |
| 46 |
< |
MPI is only required if you want a parallel version of OOPSE. |
| 44 |
> |
Compilers that are known to fail on OpenMD: g77, older versions of |
| 45 |
> |
gfortran, older Portland Group compilers (pgf77, pgf90). |
| 46 |
|
|
| 47 |
< |
4) Assorted unix utilities (lexx, yacc, make) or their GNU |
| 48 |
< |
equivalents. The Gnu version of make is pretty much a requirement on |
| 49 |
< |
SGI machines. |
| 51 |
< |
|
| 47 |
> |
Compilers that are known to work on OpenMD: Intel's ifort, |
| 48 |
> |
Pathscale's pathf95, IBM's xlf95, Portland-F¢s pgf95 (version 6 or-A |
| 49 |
> |
higher), Sun's f95. There may be others that work also. |
| 50 |
|
|
| 51 |
+ |
2) GNU make (also known as gmake). Regular make won't work. |
| 52 |
+ |
Really. We've tried. Don't bother with regular make. |
| 53 |
+ |
Seriously. You need GNU make. Did we mention that you |
| 54 |
+ |
need GNU make? |
| 55 |
+ |
|
| 56 |
+ |
3) Perl. Compilation dependencies in Fortran95 are somewhat |
| 57 |
+ |
complicated, so the build process uses a perl script called |
| 58 |
+ |
filepp to do this job. You need perl for filepp, so you |
| 59 |
+ |
need perl to build OpenMD. |
| 60 |
+ |
|
| 61 |
+ |
4) MPI-2 is optional for the single processor version of OpenMD, but |
| 62 |
+ |
is required if you want OpenMD to run in parallel. We like |
| 63 |
+ |
OpenMPI. Other implementations of MPI-2 might work, but we haven-F¢t-A |
| 64 |
+ |
tried. You can get Open MPI here: http://www.open-mpi.org/ |
