OOPSE is an open-source Object-Oriented Parallel Simulation Engine. |
4 |
gezelter |
1332 |
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). |

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

What you need to compile and use OOPSE: |
14 |
|
|
|
15 |

1332 |
1) Good C, C++ and Fortran95 compilers. We've built and tested OOPSE |
16 |
|
|
using version 8 of the Intel compilers (ifort, icpc and icc) on Linux |
17 |
|
|
machines. We also routinely build and test under Mac OS X using the |
18 |
|
|
IBM compilers (xlf95, vac++). OOPSE should build with g++ and gcc, |
19 |
|
|
but you'll still need a good fortran *95* compiler. Fortran77 and |
20 |
|
|
Fortran90 are *not* sufficient to compile OOPSE. |

|
|
2) MPI. We like MPICH. Other implementations might work, but we |
23 |
|
|
haven't tried. You can get MPICH here: |
