Designing object-oriented software is hard, and designing reusable |
| 5 |
object-oriented scientific software is even harder. Absence of |
| 6 |
applying modern software development practices is the bottleneck of |
| 7 |
Scientific Computing community\cite{wilson}. For instance, in the |
| 8 |
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 |
| 12 |
contributed by scientists without official computer science |
| 13 |
training. The development of most MD applications are lack of strong |
| 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. |

\section{\label{appendixSection:desginPattern}Design Pattern} |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Design patterns are optimal solutions to commonly-occurring problems |
| 21 |
in software design. Although originated as an architectural concept |
| 22 |
for buildings and towns by Christopher Alexander \cite{alexander}, |
| 23 |
software patterns first became popular with the wide acceptance of |
| 24 |
the book, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented |
| 25 |
Software \cite{gamma94}. Patterns reflect the experience, knowledge |
| 26 |
and insights of developers who have successfully used these patterns |
| 27 |
in their own work. Patterns are reusable. They provide a ready-made |
| 28 |
solution that can be adapted to different problems as necessary. |
| 29 |
Pattern are expressive. they provide a common vocabulary of |
| 30 |
solutions that can express large solutions succinctly. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Patterns are usually described using a format that includes the |
| 33 |
following information: |
| 34 |
\begin{enumerate} |
| 35 |
\item The \emph{name} that is commonly used for the pattern. Good pattern names form a vocabulary for |
| 36 |
discussing conceptual abstractions. a pattern may have more than one commonly used or recognizable name |
| 37 |
in the literature. In this case it is common practice to document these nicknames or synonyms under |
| 38 |
the heading of \emph{Aliases} or \emph{Also Known As}. |
| 39 |
\item The \emph{motivation} or \emph{context} that this pattern applies |
| 40 |
to. Sometimes, it will include some prerequisites that should be satisfied before deciding to use a pattern |
| 41 |
\item The \emph{solution} to the problem that the pattern |
| 42 |
addresses. It describes how to construct the necessary work products. The description may include |
| 43 |
pictures, diagrams and prose which identify the pattern's structure, its participants, and their |
| 44 |
collaborations, to show how the problem is solved. |
| 45 |
\item The \emph{consequences} of using the given solution to solve a |
| 46 |
problem, both positive and negative. |
| 47 |
\end{enumerate} |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
As one of the latest advanced techniques emerged from |
| 50 |
object-oriented community, design patterns were applied in some of |
| 51 |
the modern scientific software applications, such as JMol, OOPSE |
| 52 |
\cite{Meineke05} and PROTOMOL \cite{Matthey05} \textit{etc}. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
\subsection{\label{appendixSection:singleton}Singleton} |
| 55 |
The Singleton pattern ensures that only one instance of a class is |
| 56 |
created. All objects that use an instance of that class use the same |
| 57 |
instance. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
\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. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
\subsection{\label{appendixSection:visitorPattern}Visitor} |
| 69 |
The purpose of the Visitor Pattern is to encapsulate an operation |
| 70 |
that you want to perform on the elements of a data structure. In |
| 71 |
this way, you can change the operation being performed on a |
| 72 |
structure without the need of changing the classes of the elements |
| 73 |
that you are operating on. |

|
| 82 |
OOPSE manipulates both traditional atoms as well as some objects |
| 83 |
that {\it behave like atoms}. These objects can be rigid |
| 84 |
collections of atoms or atoms which have orientational degrees of |
| 85 |
freedom. Here is a diagram of the class heirarchy: |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
\begin{figure} |

\caption[Class heirarchy for StuntDoubles in {\sc oopse}-3.0]{ \\ |
| 91 |
The class heirarchy of StuntDoubles in {\sc oopse}-3.0. The |
| 92 |
selection syntax allows the user to select any of the objects that |
| 93 |
are descended from a StuntDouble.} \label{oopseFig:heirarchy} |
| 94 |
\end{figure} |
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
\begin{itemize} |
| 97 |
\item A {\bf StuntDouble} is {\it any} object that can be manipulated by the |
| 98 |
integrators and minimizers. |
| 99 |
\item An {\bf Atom} is a fundamental point-particle that can be moved around during a simulation. |
| 100 |
\item A {\bf DirectionalAtom} is an atom which has {\it orientational} as well as translational degrees of freedom. |
| 101 |
\item A {\bf RigidBody} is a collection of {\bf Atom}s or {\bf |
| 102 |
DirectionalAtom}s which behaves as a single unit. |
| 103 |
\end{itemize} |
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
Every Molecule, Atom and DirectionalAtom in {\sc oopse} have their |
| 106 |
own names which are specified in the {\tt .md} file. In contrast, |
| 107 |
RigidBodies are denoted by their membership and index inside a |
| 108 |
particular molecule: [MoleculeName]\_RB\_[index] (the contents |
| 109 |
inside the brackets depend on the specifics of the simulation). The |
| 110 |
names of rigid bodies are generated automatically. For example, the |
| 111 |
name of the first rigid body in a DMPC molecule is DMPC\_RB\_0. |
| 112 |
|
| 113 |
\section{\label{appendixSection:syntax}Syntax of the Select Command} |
| 114 |
|
| 115 |
The most general form of the select command is: {\tt select {\it |
| 116 |
expression}} |
| 117 |
|
| 118 |
This expression represents an arbitrary set of StuntDoubles (Atoms |
| 119 |
or RigidBodies) in {\sc oopse}. Expressions are composed of either |
| 120 |
name expressions, index expressions, predefined sets, user-defined |
| 121 |
expressions, comparison operators, within expressions, or logical |
| 122 |
combinations of the above expression types. Expressions can be |
| 123 |
combined using parentheses and the Boolean operators. |
| 124 |
|
| 125 |
\subsection{\label{appendixSection:logical}Logical expressions} |
| 126 |
|
| 127 |
The logical operators allow complex queries to be constructed out of |
| 128 |
simpler ones using the standard boolean connectives {\bf and}, {\bf |
| 129 |
or}, {\bf not}. Parentheses can be used to alter the precedence of |
| 130 |
the operators. |

| 200 |
|
| 201 |
\subsection{\label{appendixSection:userdefined}User-defined expressions} |
| 202 |
|
| 203 |
Users can define arbitrary terms to represent groups of |
| 204 |
StuntDoubles, and then use the define terms in select commands. The |
| 205 |
general form for the define command is: {\bf define {\it term |
| 206 |
expression}} |
| 207 |
|
| 208 |
Once defined, the user can specify such terms in boolean expressions |
| 209 |
|
| 210 |
{\tt define SSDWATER SSD or SSD1 or SSDRF} |
| 211 |
|
| 212 |
{\tt select SSDWATER} |
| 213 |
|
| 214 |
\subsection{\label{appendixSection:comparison}Comparison expressions} |
| 215 |
|
| 216 |
StuntDoubles can be selected by using comparision operators on their |
| 217 |
properties. The general form for the comparison command is: a |
| 218 |
property name, followed by a comparision operator and then a number. |
| 219 |
|
| 220 |
\begin{center} |
| 221 |
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|} |
| 222 |
\hline |
| 223 |
{\bf property} & mass, charge \\ |
| 224 |
{\bf comparison operator} & ``$>$'', ``$<$'', ``$=$'', ``$>=$'', |
| 225 |
``$<=$'', ``$!=$'' \\ |
| 226 |
\hline |
| 227 |
\end{tabular} |
| 228 |
\end{center} |
| 229 |
|
| 230 |
For example, the phrase {\tt select mass > 16.0 and charge < -2} |
| 231 |
would select StuntDoubles which have mass greater than 16.0 and |
| 232 |
charges less than -2. |
| 233 |
|
| 234 |
\subsection{\label{appendixSection:within}Within expressions} |
| 235 |
|
| 236 |
The ``within'' keyword allows the user to select all StuntDoubles |
| 237 |
within the specified distance (in Angstroms) from a selection, |
| 238 |
including the selected atom itself. The general form for within |
| 239 |
selection is: {\tt select within(distance, expression)} |
| 240 |
|
| 241 |
For example, the phrase {\tt select within(2.5, PO4 or NC4)} would |
| 242 |
select all StuntDoubles which are within 2.5 angstroms of PO4 or NC4 |
| 243 |
atoms. |
| 244 |
|

\subsection{\label{appendixSection:Dump2XYZ}Dump2XYZ} |
| 248 |
|
| 249 |
Dump2XYZ can transform an OOPSE dump file into a xyz file which can |
| 250 |
be opened by other molecular dynamics viewers such as Jmol and VMD. |
| 251 |
The options available for Dump2XYZ are as follows: |

| 275 |
-s & {\tt -{}-selection=selection script} & By specifying {\tt -{}-selection}=``selection command'' with Dump2XYZ, the user can select an arbitrary set of StuntDoubles to be |
| 276 |
converted. \\ |
| 277 |
& {\tt -{}-originsele} & By specifying {\tt -{}-originsele}=``selection command'' with Dump2XYZ, the user can re-center the origin of the system around a specific StuntDouble \\ |
| 278 |
& {\tt -{}-refsele} & In order to rotate the system, {\tt -{}-originsele} and {\tt -{}-refsele} must be given to define the new coordinate set. A StuntDouble which contains a dipole (the direction of the dipole is always (0, 0, 1) in body frame) is specified by {\tt -{}-originsele}. The new x-z plane is defined by the direction of the dipole and the StuntDouble is specified by {\tt -{}-refsele}. |
| 279 |
\end{longtable} |
| 280 |
|
| 281 |
|
| 282 |
\subsection{\label{appendixSection:StaticProps}StaticProps} |
| 283 |
|
| 284 |
{\tt StaticProps} can compute properties which are averaged over |
| 285 |
some or all of the configurations that are contained within a dump |
| 286 |
file. The most common example of a static property that can be |
| 287 |
computed is the pair distribution function between atoms of type $A$ |
| 288 |
and other atoms of type $B$, $g_{AB}(r)$. StaticProps can also be |
| 289 |
used to compute the density distributions of other molecules in a |
| 290 |
reference frame {\it fixed to the body-fixed reference frame} of a |
| 291 |
selected atom or rigid body. |
| 292 |
|
| 293 |
There are five seperate radial distribution functions availiable in |
| 294 |
OOPSE. Since every radial distrbution function invlove the |
| 295 |
calculation between pairs of bodies, {\tt -{}-sele1} and {\tt |
| 296 |
-{}-sele2} must be specified to tell StaticProps which bodies to |
| 297 |
include in the calculation. |
| 298 |
|
| 299 |
\begin{description} |
| 300 |
\item[{\tt -{}-gofr}] Computes the pair distribution function, |
| 301 |
\begin{equation*} |
| 302 |
g_{AB}(r) = \frac{1}{\rho_B}\frac{1}{N_A} \langle \sum_{i \in A} |
| 303 |
\sum_{j \in B} \delta(r - r_{ij}) \rangle |
| 304 |
\end{equation*} |
| 305 |
\item[{\tt -{}-r\_theta}] Computes the angle-dependent pair distribution |
| 306 |
function. The angle is defined by the intermolecular vector |
| 307 |
$\vec{r}$ and $z$-axis of DirectionalAtom A, |
| 308 |
\begin{equation*} |
| 309 |
g_{AB}(r, \cos \theta) = \frac{1}{\rho_B}\frac{1}{N_A} \langle |
| 310 |
\sum_{i \in A} \sum_{j \in B} \delta(r - r_{ij}) \delta(\cos |
| 311 |
\theta_{ij} - \cos \theta)\rangle |
| 312 |
\end{equation*} |
| 313 |
\item[{\tt -{}-r\_omega}] Computes the angle-dependent pair distribution |
| 314 |
function. The angle is defined by the $z$-axes of the two |
| 315 |
DirectionalAtoms A and B. |
| 316 |
\begin{equation*} |
| 317 |
g_{AB}(r, \cos \omega) = \frac{1}{\rho_B}\frac{1}{N_A} \langle |
| 318 |
\sum_{i \in A} \sum_{j \in B} \delta(r - r_{ij}) \delta(\cos |
| 319 |
\omega_{ij} - \cos \omega)\rangle |
| 320 |
\end{equation*} |
| 321 |
\item[{\tt -{}-theta\_omega}] Computes the pair distribution in the angular |
| 322 |
space $\theta, \omega$ defined by the two angles mentioned above. |
| 323 |
\begin{equation*} |
| 324 |
g_{AB}(\cos\theta, \cos \omega) = \frac{1}{\rho_B}\frac{1}{N_A} |
| 325 |
\langle \sum_{i \in A} \sum_{j \in B} \langle \delta(\cos |
| 326 |
\theta_{ij} - \cos \theta) \delta(\cos \omega_{ij} - \cos |
| 327 |
\omega)\rangle |
| 328 |
\end{equation*} |
| 329 |
\item[{\tt -{}-gxyz}] Calculates the density distribution of particles of type |
| 330 |
B in the body frame of particle A. Therefore, {\tt -{}-originsele} |
| 331 |
and {\tt -{}-refsele} must be given to define A's internal |
| 332 |
coordinate set as the reference frame for the calculation. |
| 333 |
\end{description} |
| 334 |
|

The vectors (and angles) associated with these angular pair |
| 336 |
distribution functions are most easily seen in the figure below: |

{\tt DynamicProps} computes time correlation functions from the |
| 387 |
configurations stored in a dump file. Typical examples of time |
| 388 |
correlation functions are the mean square displacement and the |
| 389 |
velocity autocorrelation functions. Once again, the selection |
| 390 |
syntax can be used to specify the StuntDoubles that will be used for |
| 391 |
the calculation. A general time correlation function can be thought |
| 392 |
of as: |
| 393 |
\begin{equation} |
| 394 |
C_{AB}(t) = \langle \vec{u}_A(t) \cdot \vec{v}_B(0) \rangle |
| 395 |
\end{equation} |
| 396 |
where $\vec{u}_A(t)$ is a vector property associated with an atom of |
| 397 |
type $A$ at time $t$, and $\vec{v}_B(t^{\prime})$ is a different |
| 398 |
vector property associated with an atom of type $B$ at a different |
| 399 |
time $t^{\prime}$. In most autocorrelation functions, the vector |
| 400 |
properties ($\vec{v}$ and $\vec{u}$) and the types of atoms ($A$ and |
| 401 |
$B$) are identical, and the three calculations built in to {\tt |
| 402 |
DynamicProps} make these assumptions. It is possible, however, to |
| 403 |
make simple modifications to the {\tt DynamicProps} code to allow |
| 404 |
the use of {\it cross} time correlation functions (i.e. with |
| 405 |
different vectors). The ability to use two selection scripts to |
| 406 |
select different types of atoms is already present in the code. |
