-+
+Designing object-oriented software is hard, and designing reusable
-+
+object-oriented scientific software is even harder. Absence of
-+
+applying modern software development practices is the bottleneck of
-+
+Scientific Computing community\cite{Wilson2006}. For instance, in
-+
+the last 20 years , there are quite a few MD packages that were
-+
+developed to solve common MD problems and perform robust simulations
-+
+. However, many of the codes are legacy programs that are either
-+
+poorly organized or extremely complex. Usually, these packages were
-+
+contributed by scientists without official computer science
-+
+training. The development of most MD applications are lack of strong
-+
+coordination to enforce design and programming guidelines. Moreover,
-+
+most MD programs also suffer from missing design and implement
-+
+documents which is crucial to the maintenance and extensibility.
-+
+Along the way of studying structural and dynamic processes in
-+
+condensed phase systems like biological membranes and nanoparticles,
-+
+we developed and maintained an Object-Oriented Parallel Simulation
-+
+Engine ({\sc OOPSE}). This new molecular dynamics package has some
-+
+unique features
-+
+\begin{enumerate}
-+
+  \item {\sc OOPSE} performs Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations on non-standard
-+
+atom types (transition metals, point dipoles, sticky potentials,
-+
+Gay-Berne ellipsoids, or other "lumpy"atoms with orientational
-+
+degrees of freedom), as well as rigid bodies.
-+
+  \item {\sc OOPSE} uses a force-based decomposition algorithm using MPI on cheap
-+
+Beowulf clusters to obtain very efficient parallelism.
-+
+  \item {\sc OOPSE} integrates the equations of motion using advanced methods for
-+
+orientational dynamics in NVE, NVT, NPT, NPAT, and NP$\gamma$T
-+
+ensembles.
-+
+  \item {\sc OOPSE} can carry out simulations on metallic systems using the
-+
+Embedded Atom Method (EAM) as well as the Sutton-Chen potential.
-+
+  \item {\sc OOPSE} can perform simulations on Gay-Berne liquid crystals.
-+
+  \item  {\sc OOPSE} can simulate systems containing the extremely efficient
-+
+extended-Soft Sticky Dipole (SSD/E) model for water.
-+
+\end{enumerate}
-+
-+
+\section{\label{appendixSection:architecture }Architecture}
-+
-+
+Mainly written by \texttt{C/C++} and \texttt{Fortran90}, {\sc OOPSE}
-+
+uses C++ Standard Template Library (STL) and fortran modules as the
-+
+foundation. As an extensive set of the STL and Fortran90 modules,
-+
+{\sc Base Classes} provide generic implementations of mathematical
-+
+objects (e.g., matrices, vectors, polynomials, random number
-+
+generators) and advanced data structures and algorithms(e.g., tuple,
-+
+bitset, generic data, string manipulation). The molecular data
-+
+structures for the representation of atoms, bonds, bends, torsions,
-+
+rigid bodies and molecules \textit{etc} are contained in the {\sc
-+
+Kernel} which is implemented with {\sc Base Classes} and are
-+
+carefully designed to provide maximum extensibility and flexibility.
-+
+The functionality required for applications is provide by the third
-+
+layer which contains Input/Output, Molecular Mechanics and Structure
-+
+modules. Input/Output module not only implements general methods for
-+
+file handling, but also defines a generic force field interface.
-+
+Another important component of Input/Output module is the meta-data
-+
+file parser, which is rewritten using ANother Tool for Language
-+
+Recognition(ANTLR)\cite{Parr1995, Schaps1999} syntax. The Molecular
-+
+Mechanics module consists of energy minimization and a wide
-+
+varieties of integration methods(see Chap.~\ref{chapt:methodology}).
-+
+The structure module contains a flexible and powerful selection
-+
+library which syntax is elaborated in
-+
+Sec.~\ref{appendixSection:syntax}. The top layer is made of the main
-+
+program of the package, \texttt{oopse} and it corresponding parallel
-+
+version \texttt{oopse\_MPI}, as well as other useful utilities, such
-+
+as \texttt{StatProps} (see Sec.~\ref{appendixSection:StaticProps}),
-+
+\texttt{DynamicProps} (see
-+
+Sec.~\ref{appendixSection:appendixSection:DynamicProps}),
-+
+\texttt{Dump2XYZ} (see
-+
+Sec.~\ref{appendixSection:appendixSection:Dump2XYZ}), \texttt{Hydro}
-+
+(see Sec.~\ref{appendixSection:appendixSection:hydrodynamics})
-+
+\textit{etc}.

+\section{\label{appendixSection:desginPattern}Design Pattern}
-+
+Design patterns are optimal solutions to commonly-occurring problems
-+
+in software design. Although originated as an architectural concept
-+
+for buildings and towns by Christopher Alexander
-+
+\cite{Alexander1987}, software patterns first became popular with
-+
+the wide acceptance of the book, Design Patterns: Elements of
-+
+Reusable Object-Oriented Software \cite{Gamma1994}. Patterns reflect
-+
+the experience, knowledge and insights of developers who have
-+
+successfully used these patterns in their own work. Patterns are
-+
+reusable. They provide a ready-made solution that can be adapted to
-+
+different problems as necessary. Pattern are expressive. they
-+
+provide a common vocabulary of solutions that can express large
-+
+solutions succinctly.
-<
+\subsection{\label{appendixSection:visitorPattern}Visitor Pattern}
->
+Patterns are usually described using a format that includes the
->
+following information:
->
+\begin{enumerate}
->
+  \item The \emph{name} that is commonly used for the pattern. Good pattern names form a vocabulary for
->
+  discussing conceptual abstractions. a pattern may have more than one commonly used or recognizable name
->
+  in the literature. In this case it is common practice to document these nicknames or synonyms under
->
+  the heading of \emph{Aliases} or \emph{Also Known As}.
->
+  \item The \emph{motivation} or \emph{context} that this pattern applies
->
+  to. Sometimes, it will include some prerequisites that should be satisfied before deciding to use a pattern
->
+  \item The \emph{solution} to the problem that the pattern
->
+  addresses. It describes how to construct the necessary work products. The description may include
->
+  pictures, diagrams and prose which identify the pattern's structure, its participants, and their
->
+  collaborations, to show how the problem is solved.
->
+  \item The \emph{consequences} of using the given solution to solve a
->
+  problem, both positive and negative.
->
+\end{enumerate}
-<
+\subsection{\label{appendixSection:templatePattern}Template Pattern}
->
+As one of the latest advanced techniques emerged from
->
+object-oriented community, design patterns were applied in some of
->
+the modern scientific software applications, such as JMol, {\sc
->
+OOPSE}\cite{Meineke05} and PROTOMOL\cite{Matthey05} \textit{etc}.
->
+The following sections enumerates some of the patterns used in {\sc
->
+OOPSE}.
-<
+\subsection{\label{appendixSection:factoryPattern}Factory Pattern}
->
+\subsection{\label{appendixSection:singleton}Singleton}
->
+The Singleton pattern not only provides a mechanism to restrict
->
+instantiation of a class to one object, but also provides a global
->
+point of access to the object. Currently implemented as a global
->
+variable, the logging utility which reports error and warning
->
+messages to the console in {\sc OOPSE} is a good candidate for
->
+applying the Singleton pattern to avoid the global namespace
->
+pollution.Although the singleton pattern can be implemented in
->
+various ways  to account for different aspects of the software
->
+designs, such as lifespan control \textit{etc}, we only use the
->
+static data approach in {\sc OOPSE}. {\tt IntegratorFactory} class
->
+is declared as
->
+\begin{lstlisting}[float,caption={[A classic Singleton design pattern implementation(I)] Declaration of {\tt IntegratorFactory} class.},label={appendixScheme:singletonDeclaration}]
-<
+\section{\label{appendixSection:hierarchy}Hierarchy}
->
+  class IntegratorFactory {
->
+    public:
->
+      static IntegratorFactory* getInstance();
->
+    protected:
->
+      IntegratorFactory();
->
+    private:
->
+      static IntegratorFactory* instance_;
->
+  };
->
+\end{lstlisting}
->
+The corresponding implementation is
->
+\begin{lstlisting}[float,caption={[A classic Singleton design pattern implementation(II)] Implementation of {\tt IntegratorFactory} class.},label={appendixScheme:singletonImplementation}]
-<
+\section{\label{appendixSection:selectionSyntax}Selection Syntax}
->
+IntegratorFactory::instance_ = NULL;
-<
+\section{\label{appendixSection:hydrodynamics}Hydrodynamics}
->
+IntegratorFactory* getInstance() {
->
+  if (instance_ == NULL){
->
+    instance_ = new IntegratorFactory;
->
+  }
->
+  return instance_;
->
+}
->
+\end{lstlisting}
->
+Since constructor is declared as {\tt protected}, a client can not
->
+instantiate {\tt IntegratorFactory} directly. Moreover, since the
->
+member function {\tt getInstance} serves as the only entry of access
->
+to {\tt IntegratorFactory}, this approach fulfills the basic
->
+requirement, a single instance. Another consequence of this approach
->
+is the automatic destruction since static data are destroyed upon
->
+program termination.

+\subsection{\label{appendixSection:factoryMethod}Factory Method}
-<
+\subsection{\label{appendixSection:staticProps}Factory Properties}
->
+Categoried as a creational pattern, the Factory Method pattern deals
->
+with the problem of creating objects without specifying the exact
->
+class of object that will be created. Factory Method is typically
->
+implemented by delegating the creation operation to the subclasses.

+\section{\label{appendixSection:concepts}Concepts}
->
->
+OOPSE manipulates both traditional atoms as well as some objects
->
+that {\it behave like atoms}.  These objects can be rigid
->
+collections of atoms or atoms which have orientational degrees of
->
+freedom.  Here is a diagram of the class heirarchy:
->
->

+%The class heirarchy of StuntDoubles in {\sc oopse}-3.0. The
->
+%selection syntax allows the user to select any of the objects that
->
+%are descended from a StuntDouble.} \label{oopseFig:heirarchy}
->
+%\end{figure}
->
->
+\begin{itemize}
->
+\item A {\bf StuntDouble} is {\it any} object that can be manipulated by the
->
+integrators and minimizers.
->
+\item An {\bf Atom} is a fundamental point-particle that can be moved around during a simulation.
->
+\item A {\bf DirectionalAtom} is an atom which has {\it orientational} as well as translational degrees of freedom.
->
+\item A {\bf RigidBody} is a collection of {\bf Atom}s or {\bf
->
+DirectionalAtom}s which behaves as a single unit.
->
+\end{itemize}
->
->
+Every Molecule, Atom and DirectionalAtom in {\sc OOPSE} have their
->
+own names which are specified in the {\tt .md} file. In contrast,
->
+RigidBodies are denoted by their membership and index inside a
->
+particular molecule: [MoleculeName]\_RB\_[index] (the contents
->
+inside the brackets depend on the specifics of the simulation). The
->
+names of rigid bodies are generated automatically. For example, the
->
+name of the first rigid body in a DMPC molecule is DMPC\_RB\_0.
->
->
+\section{\label{appendixSection:syntax}Syntax of the Select Command}
->
->
+The most general form of the select command is: {\tt select {\it
->
+expression}}. This expression represents an arbitrary set of
->
+StuntDoubles (Atoms or RigidBodies) in {\sc OOPSE}. Expressions are
->
+composed of either name expressions, index expressions, predefined
->
+sets, user-defined expressions, comparison operators, within
->
+expressions, or logical combinations of the above expression types.
->
+Expressions can be combined using parentheses and the Boolean
->
+operators.
->
->
+\subsection{\label{appendixSection:logical}Logical expressions}
->
->
+The logical operators allow complex queries to be constructed out of
->
+simpler ones using the standard boolean connectives {\bf and}, {\bf
->
+or}, {\bf not}. Parentheses can be used to alter the precedence of
->
+the operators.

->
->
+Users can define arbitrary terms to represent groups of

+general form for the define command is: {\bf define {\it term
->
+expression}}. Once defined, the user can specify such terms in
->
+boolean expressions
->
->
+{\tt define SSDWATER SSD or SSD1 or SSDRF}
->
->
+{\tt select SSDWATER}
->
->
+\subsection{\label{appendixSection:comparison}Comparison expressions}
->
->
+StuntDoubles can be selected by using comparision operators on their
->
+properties. The general form for the comparison command is: a

->
+\end{tabular}
->
+\end{center}
->
->
+For example, the phrase {\tt select mass > 16.0 and charge < -2}
->
+would select StuntDoubles which have mass greater than 16.0 and

->
+\subsection{\label{appendixSection:within}Within expressions}
->
->
+The ``within'' keyword allows the user to select all StuntDoubles
->
+within the specified distance (in Angstroms) from a selection,

+including the selected atom itself. The general form for within
->
+selection is: {\tt select within(distance, expression)}
->
->
+For example, the phrase {\tt select within(2.5, PO4 or NC4)} would

+select all StuntDoubles which are within 2.5 angstroms of PO4 or NC4
->
+atoms.

->
+\subsection{\label{appendixSection:StaticProps}StaticProps}
->
->
+{\tt StaticProps} can compute properties which are averaged over
->
+some or all of the configurations that are contained within a dump
->
+file. The most common example of a static property that can be
->
+computed is the pair distribution function between atoms of type $A$
->

->
+also be used to compute the density distributions of other molecules
->
+in a reference frame {\it fixed to the body-fixed reference frame}
->
+of a selected atom or rigid body.
->
->
+There are five seperate radial distribution functions availiable in
->
+OOPSE. Since every radial distrbution function invlove the
->
+calculation between pairs of bodies, {\tt -{}-sele1} and {\tt
->
+-{}-sele2} must be specified to tell StaticProps which bodies to
->
+include in the calculation.

+\subsection{\label{appendixSection:DynamicProps}DynamicProps}
->
->
+{\tt DynamicProps} computes time correlation functions from the
->
+configurations stored in a dump file.  Typical examples of time
->
+correlation functions are the mean square displacement and the
->
+velocity autocorrelation functions.   Once again, the selection
->
+syntax can be used to specify the StuntDoubles that will be used for
->
+the calculation.  A general time correlation function can be thought
->
+of as:
->
+\begin{equation}
->
+C_{AB}(t) = \langle \vec{u}_A(t) \cdot \vec{v}_B(0) \rangle
->
+\end{equation}
->
+where $\vec{u}_A(t)$ is a vector property associated with an atom of
->
+type $A$ at time $t$, and $\vec{v}_B(t^{\prime})$ is a different
->
+vector property associated with an atom of type $B$ at a different
->
+time $t^{\prime}$.  In most autocorrelation functions, the vector
->
+properties ($\vec{v}$ and $\vec{u}$) and the types of atoms ($A$ and
->
+$B$) are identical, and the three calculations built in to {\tt
->
+DynamicProps} make these assumptions.  It is possible, however, to
->
+make simple modifications to the {\tt DynamicProps} code to allow
->
+the use of {\it cross} time correlation functions (i.e. with
->
+different vectors).  The ability to use two selection scripts to
->
+select different types of atoms is already present in the code.
->
->
+For large simulations, the trajectory files can sometimes reach
->
+sizes in excess of several gigabytes. In order to effectively
->
+analyze that amount of data. In order to prevent a situation where
->
+the program runs out of memory due to large trajectories,
->
+\texttt{dynamicProps} will estimate the size of free memory at
->
+first, and determine the number of frames in each block, which
->
+allows the operating system to load two blocks of data
->
+simultaneously without swapping. Upon reading two blocks of the
->
+trajectory, \texttt{dynamicProps} will calculate the time
->
+correlation within the first block and the cross correlations
->
+between the two blocks. This second block is then freed and then
->
+incremented and the process repeated until the end of the
->
+trajectory. Once the end is reached, the first block is freed then
->
+incremented, until all frame pairs have been correlated in time.
->
+This process is illustrated in
->
+Fig.~\ref{oopseFig:dynamicPropsProcess}.
