Designing object-oriented software is hard, and designing reusable |

object-oriented scientific software is even harder. Absence of |
6 |

applying modern software development practices is the bottleneck of |

Scientific Computing community\cite{Wilson2006}. For instance, in |
8 |
> |
the last 20 years , there are quite a few MD packages that were |
9 |
|
developed to solve common MD problems and perform robust simulations |
10 |
|
. However, many of the codes are legacy programs that are either |
11 |
|
poorly organized or extremely complex. Usually, these packages were |
14 |
|
coordination to enforce design and programming guidelines. Moreover, |
15 |
|
most MD programs also suffer from missing design and implement |
16 |
|
documents which is crucial to the maintenance and extensibility. |
17 |
+ |
Along the way of studying structural and dynamic processes in |
18 |
+ |
condensed phase systems like biological membranes and nanoparticles, |
19 |
+ |
we developed and maintained an Object-Oriented Parallel Simulation |
20 |
+ |
Engine ({\sc OOPSE}). This new molecular dynamics package has some |
21 |
+ |
unique features |
22 |
+ |
\begin{enumerate} |
23 |
+ |
\item {\sc OOPSE} performs Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations on non-standard |
24 |
+ |
atom types (transition metals, point dipoles, sticky potentials, |
25 |
+ |
Gay-Berne ellipsoids, or other "lumpy"atoms with orientational |
26 |
+ |
degrees of freedom), as well as rigid bodies. |
27 |
+ |
\item {\sc OOPSE} uses a force-based decomposition algorithm using MPI on cheap |
28 |
+ |
Beowulf clusters to obtain very efficient parallelism. |
29 |
+ |
\item {\sc OOPSE} integrates the equations of motion using advanced methods for |
30 |
+ |
orientational dynamics in NVE, NVT, NPT, NPAT, and NP$\gamma$T |
31 |
+ |
ensembles. |
32 |
+ |
\item {\sc OOPSE} can carry out simulations on metallic systems using the |
33 |
+ |
Embedded Atom Method (EAM) as well as the Sutton-Chen potential. |
34 |
+ |
\item {\sc OOPSE} can perform simulations on Gay-Berne liquid crystals. |
35 |
+ |
\item {\sc OOPSE} can simulate systems containing the extremely efficient |
36 |
+ |
extended-Soft Sticky Dipole (SSD/E) model for water. |

\section{\label{appendixSection:architecture }Architecture} |
40 |
+ |
|
41 |
+ |
Mainly written by \texttt{C/C++} and \texttt{Fortran90}, {\sc OOPSE} |
42 |
+ |
uses C++ Standard Template Library (STL) and fortran modules as the |
43 |
+ |
foundation. As an extensive set of the STL and Fortran90 modules, |
44 |
+ |
{\sc Base Classes} provide generic implementations of mathematical |
45 |
+ |
objects (e.g., matrices, vectors, polynomials, random number |
46 |
+ |
generators) and advanced data structures and algorithms(e.g., tuple, |
47 |
+ |
bitset, generic data, string manipulation). The molecular data |
48 |
+ |
structures for the representation of atoms, bonds, bends, torsions, |
49 |
+ |
rigid bodies and molecules \textit{etc} are contained in the {\sc |
50 |
+ |
Kernel} which is implemented with {\sc Base Classes} and are |
51 |
+ |
carefully designed to provide maximum extensibility and flexibility. |
52 |
+ |
The functionality required for applications is provide by the third |
53 |
+ |
layer which contains Input/Output, Molecular Mechanics and Structure |
54 |
+ |
modules. Input/Output module not only implements general methods for |
55 |
+ |
file handling, but also defines a generic force field interface. |
56 |
+ |
Another important component of Input/Output module is the meta-data |
57 |
+ |
file parser, which is rewritten using ANother Tool for Language |
58 |
+ |
Recognition(ANTLR)\cite{Parr1995, Schaps1999} syntax. The Molecular |
59 |
+ |
Mechanics module consists of energy minimization and a wide |
60 |
+ |
varieties of integration methods(see Chap.~\ref{chapt:methodology}). |
61 |
+ |
The structure module contains a flexible and powerful selection |
62 |
+ |
library which syntax is elaborated in |
63 |
+ |
Sec.~\ref{appendixSection:syntax}. The top layer is made of the main |
64 |
+ |
program of the package, \texttt{oopse} and it corresponding parallel |
65 |
+ |
version \texttt{oopse\_MPI}, as well as other useful utilities, such |
66 |
+ |
as \texttt{StatProps} (see Sec.~\ref{appendixSection:StaticProps}), |
67 |
+ |
\texttt{DynamicProps} (see |
68 |
+ |
Sec.~\ref{appendixSection:appendixSection:DynamicProps}), |
69 |
+ |
\texttt{Dump2XYZ} (see |
70 |
+ |
Sec.~\ref{appendixSection:appendixSection:Dump2XYZ}), \texttt{Hydro} |
71 |
+ |
(see Sec.~\ref{appendixSection:appendixSection:hydrodynamics}) |
72 |
+ |
\textit{etc}. |

\section{\label{appendixSection:desginPattern}Design Pattern} |
82 |
|
|
83 |
|
Design patterns are optimal solutions to commonly-occurring problems |
84 |
|
in software design. Although originated as an architectural concept |
85 |
< |
for buildings and towns by Christopher Alexander \cite{alexander}, |
86 |
< |
software patterns first became popular with the wide acceptance of |
87 |
< |
the book, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented |
88 |
< |
Software \cite{gamma94}. Patterns reflect the experience, knowledge |
89 |
< |
and insights of developers who have successfully used these patterns |
90 |
< |
in their own work. Patterns are reusable. They provide a ready-made |
91 |
< |
solution that can be adapted to different problems as necessary. |
92 |
< |
Pattern are expressive. they provide a common vocabulary of |
93 |
< |
solutions that can express large solutions succinctly. |

Patterns are usually described using a format that includes the |

|
following information: |
112 |
|
|
113 |
|
As one of the latest advanced techniques emerged from |
114 |
|
object-oriented community, design patterns were applied in some of |
115 |

the modern scientific software applications, such as JMol, OOPSE |

\cite{Meineke05} and PROTOMOL \cite{Matthey05} \textit{etc}. |

The following sections enumerates some of the patterns used in {\sc |

OOPSE}. |
119 |
|
|
120 |
|
\subsection{\label{appendixSection:singleton}Singleton} |
121 |
< |
The Singleton pattern ensures that only one instance of a class is |
122 |
< |
created. All objects that use an instance of that class use the same |
123 |
< |
instance. |
121 |
> |
The Singleton pattern not only provides a mechanism to restrict |
122 |
> |
instantiation of a class to one object, but also provides a global |
123 |
> |
point of access to the object. Currently implemented as a global |
124 |
> |
variable, the logging utility which reports error and warning |
125 |
> |
messages to the console in {\sc OOPSE} is a good candidate for |
126 |
> |
applying the Singleton pattern to avoid the global namespace |
127 |
> |
pollution.Although the singleton pattern can be implemented in |
128 |
> |
various ways to account for different aspects of the software |
129 |
> |
designs, such as lifespan control \textit{etc}, we only use the |
130 |
> |
static data approach in {\sc OOPSE}. {\tt IntegratorFactory} class |
131 |
> |
is declared as |
132 |
> |
\begin{lstlisting}[float,caption={[A classic Singleton design pattern implementation(I)] Declaration of {\tt IntegratorFactory} class.},label={appendixScheme:singletonDeclaration}] |
133 |
|
|
134 |
+ |
class IntegratorFactory { |
135 |
+ |
public: |
136 |
+ |
static IntegratorFactory* getInstance(); |
137 |
+ |
protected: |
138 |
+ |
IntegratorFactory(); |
139 |
+ |
private: |
140 |
+ |
static IntegratorFactory* instance_; |
141 |
+ |
}; |
142 |
+ |
\end{lstlisting} |
143 |
+ |
The corresponding implementation is |
144 |
+ |
\begin{lstlisting}[float,caption={[A classic Singleton design pattern implementation(II)] Implementation of {\tt IntegratorFactory} class.},label={appendixScheme:singletonImplementation}] |
145 |
+ |
|
146 |
+ |
IntegratorFactory::instance_ = NULL; |
147 |
+ |
|
148 |
+ |
IntegratorFactory* getInstance() { |
149 |
+ |
if (instance_ == NULL){ |
150 |
+ |
instance_ = new IntegratorFactory; |
151 |
+ |
} |
152 |
+ |
return instance_; |
153 |
+ |
} |
154 |
+ |
\end{lstlisting} |
155 |
+ |
Since constructor is declared as {\tt protected}, a client can not |
156 |
+ |
instantiate {\tt IntegratorFactory} directly. Moreover, since the |
157 |
+ |
member function {\tt getInstance} serves as the only entry of access |
158 |
+ |
to {\tt IntegratorFactory}, this approach fulfills the basic |
159 |
+ |
requirement, a single instance. Another consequence of this approach |
160 |
+ |
is the automatic destruction since static data are destroyed upon |
161 |
+ |
program termination. |
162 |

\subsection{\label{appendixSection:factoryMethod}Factory Method} |
60 |
– |
The Factory Method pattern is a creational pattern which deals with |
61 |
– |
the problem of creating objects without specifying the exact class |
62 |
– |
of object that will be created. Factory Method solves this problem |
63 |
– |
by defining a separate method for creating the objects, which |
64 |
– |
subclasses can then override to specify the derived type of product |
65 |
– |
that will be created. |
164 |
|
|
165 |
+ |
Categoried as a creational pattern, the Factory Method pattern deals |
166 |
+ |
with the problem of creating objects without specifying the exact |
167 |
+ |
class of object that will be created. Factory Method is typically |
168 |
+ |
implemented by delegating the creation operation to the subclasses. |
169 |
|
|
170 |
+ |
Registers a creator with a type identifier. Looks up the type |
171 |
+ |
identifier in the internal map. If it is found, it invokes the |
172 |
+ |
corresponding creator for the type identifier and returns its |
173 |
+ |
result. |

|
{\tt StaticProps} can compute properties which are averaged over |
437 |
|
some or all of the configurations that are contained within a dump |
438 |
|
file. The most common example of a static property that can be |
439 |
|
computed is the pair distribution function between atoms of type $A$ |
440 |
< |
and other atoms of type $B$, $g_{AB}(r)$. StaticProps can also be |
441 |
< |
used to compute the density distributions of other molecules in a |
442 |
< |
reference frame {\it fixed to the body-fixed reference frame} of a |
443 |
< |
selected atom or rigid body. |

and other atoms of type $B$, $g_{AB}(r)$. {\tt StaticProps} can |
441 |

also be used to compute the density distributions of other molecules |
442 |

in a reference frame {\it fixed to the body-fixed reference frame} |
443 |

of a selected atom or rigid body. |
444 |
|
|
445 |
|
There are five seperate radial distribution functions availiable in |
446 |
|
OOPSE. Since every radial distrbution function invlove the |
496 |
|
their body-fixed frames.} \label{oopseFig:gofr} |

Due to the fact that the selected StuntDoubles from two selections |
500 |
+ |
may be overlapped, {\tt StaticProps} performs the calculation in |
501 |
+ |
three stages which are illustrated in |
502 |

Fig.~\ref{oopseFig:staticPropsProcess}. |

513 |

second stages ($S_1$ and $S_2-C$) are completely non-overlapping. On |

the contrary, the third stage($C$ and $C$) are completely |

577 |

select different types of atoms is already present in the code. |

For large simulations, the trajectory files can sometimes reach |
580 |
+ |
sizes in excess of several gigabytes. In order to effectively |
581 |
+ |
analyze that amount of data. In order to prevent a situation where |
582 |
+ |
the program runs out of memory due to large trajectories, |
583 |
+ |
\texttt{dynamicProps} will estimate the size of free memory at |
584 |
+ |
first, and determine the number of frames in each block, which |
585 |
+ |
allows the operating system to load two blocks of data |
586 |
+ |
simultaneously without swapping. Upon reading two blocks of the |
587 |
+ |
trajectory, \texttt{dynamicProps} will calculate the time |
588 |
+ |
correlation within the first block and the cross correlations |
589 |
+ |
between the two blocks. This second block is then freed and then |
590 |
+ |
incremented and the process repeated until the end of the |
591 |
+ |
trajectory. Once the end is reached, the first block is freed then |
592 |
+ |
incremented, until all frame pairs have been correlated in time. |
593 |
+ |
This process is illustrated in |
594 |
+ |
Fig.~\ref{oopseFig:dynamicPropsProcess}. |
