OOPSE |
| 2 |
|
|
|

|
|
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). |
| 9 |
|
|
|
| 10 |
|
|
Input files are handled using the (included) Bizarre Atom Simulation |
| 11 |
|
|
Syntax (BASS) library. |

What you need to compile and use OOPSE: |
| 14 |
|
|
|
| 15 |
|
|
1) Good C, C++ and Fortran95 compilers. We've built and tested OOPSE |
| 16 |

on the following architecture & compiler combinations: |

We've successfully compiled OOPSE with gcc and g++, as well as |
| 26 |
|
|
pgcc and pgCC in linux environments. However, you will need to |
| 27 |
|
|
use a Fortran *95* compler for the fortran side of OOPSE, and |
| 28 |
|
|
pgf90 does not implement the required portions of the f95 |
| 29 |
|
|
language. Fortran77 and Fortran90 (i.e. g77 and pgf90) are *not* |
| 30 |
|
|
sufficient to compile the fortran portions of OOPSE. |

2) The Scalable Parallel Random Number Generators Library (SPRNG). You |
| 33 |
gezelter |
1366 |
can obtain SPRNG here: http://sprng.cs.fsu.edu/ |
| 34 |
gezelter |
1365 |
SPRNG is a *requirement* for compiling OOPSE. |

3) MPI. We like MPICH. Other implementations might work, but we |
| 37 |
|
|
haven't tried. You can get MPICH here: |
| 38 |
|
|
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich/ |
| 39 |
|
|
MPI is only required if you want a parallel version of OOPSE. |

4) Assorted unix utilities (lexx, yacc, make) or their GNU |
| 42 |
|
|
equivalents. The Gnu version of make is pretty much a requirement on |
| 43 |
|
|
SGI machines. |
