Hello all,

As I noted in a response to the original question Tripos does indeed hold
patents on the use of PLS and similar techniques to derive QSAR's based on
grid-based fields around molecule sets. These patents are in force until
2007 and would prevent use of separate pieces of freeware that generate
GRID-type maps and subsequently perform PLS on this data versus activity.
So, to echo Christoph's caution do not use separate pieces of software to do
this sort of task. If you wish to use the CoMFA approach then please contact
your local Tripos sales representative.

Hello,

as far as I know, Tripos has a patent for using GRID-maps
(www.moldiscovery.com) with general PLS regression techniques.

Am I right?

So be careful not to violate this patent with free software.

Dear Dr Christoph,

In fact, Tripos has been granted such rights to use GRID maps for CoMFA,
but SOMFA uses a different methodology to define them (by the attribution
of 1 or 0 tags to points located in or out the target's van der waals
raddi on the grid, instead of absolute interaction energies employed in
CoMFA. Results are somehow similar to CoMFA predictions.

Best wishes.

Hi CCLers,

I'm looking for a software package to carry
out dissipative particle dynamics (DPD).  I'm
sure there a quite a few out there.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Many thanks,

Craig Shepherd

I had sent a question of "%mem=xxx" on Gaussian98W a few days ago.

In general, each calculation type has each suitable memory size. If the memory
is excess or insufficent on optimization, spreed-up is unexpectable(but for excited
states calc and frequency calc).

Here are replies that I have received.
Thanks a lot!

Hi!
I know what you mean. I noticed that gaussian tends to use up all
physical memory given as parameter in the %Mem section. This may
prolongue your time execution (like in your case) if the calculation
does not require that much amount of memory. I would recommend a few
test runs to see what would be the optimimum memory required. There is
also a formula given by the manual for the memory requirement, but,
honestely, I don't really trust it. But it's a good starting point for
test runs.

All the best,
Lori.

Telkuni,

I ran a similar test several days ago.  The impact of available memory
depends strongly on the size of the job you're running.  If you have
enough RAM to store all AO integrals for SCF in 128MB, then 512MB will
likely not run faster, if at all.  If you can fit 90% of the AO
integrals in 128MB, then you'll see a greater, but not amazing, speed
gain when going up in RAM.  If you can only fit 30% of your AO integrals
in 128MB, you'll see a BIG speed increase when you get to 512MB.

--- 3) from  Igor Avilov ----
Hello, Telkuni!

You must always try to allocate as much memory as Gaussian needs, no more. If you will allocate much more memory than it needs, the
calculation will slow down. I do not know why, but the fact is - it will slow down. In Linux (Unix) and Windows NT you can always
see how much memory Gaussian is actually using. For geometry optimization you don't need much memory. On the contrary, for excited
states calculation and frequency calculation you will need lots of memory. Its amount depends, of cause, on the size of your system.

Best regards,
Igor Avilov.


--- 4) from  Laurence Cuffe ----
I've not used g98W however my experience with g94 and g98 rev
A7 and rev A11 would be similar to yours.  In general once a
calculation has adequate RAM adding more via a %mem directive
rarely makes much difference and can (perversely) slow down a
calculation where the operating system has to throw out other
processes to get a large RAM image into memory.  There are
exceptions for instance if you can get an entire calculation into ram
using a large %Mem and the directive scf=(incore,nosave) then the
calculation can be scary fast! however this opportunity occurs
rarely.  On a related subject very occasionally calculations have
failed with a "malloc" error indicating that they have not got
sufficient ram.  I have found that this error is often resolved by
either increasing or decreasing the %Mem amount by a small
amount, indicating that the program occasionally miscalculates the
amount of memory available by a small amount and a small
change in the memory allocation can fit it in.
Hope this helps
All the best
Laurence cuffe


--- 5) from Pierre Vitorge ----
I had similar problems. I run tests with different values for %mem, it seems
there is an optimum %mem value to obtain the shortest CPU time, this optimum
value is usually far from the maximum reasonable value (i.e the amount of
physical memory minus 150to300Mb for the system). This probably depends
(among other reasons) on the size of the exchange file memory, and whether
this file is at the begining of the disk. I asked help to Gaussian, but did
not get any answer.

--- 6) from David Shobe  ----
Telkuni,

If the program cannot advantageously use the additional memory, then increasing %mem has no effect.  However, if the additional
memory allows Gaussian to store an array in memory that would otherwise have been stored on disk, increasing %mem will significantly
shorten the time needed for the calculation.  Also, some jobs may not be able to run at all if insufficient memory is allocated with
%mem.

Hope this helps,

calculation will slow down. I do not know why, but the fact is - it will slow down. In Linux (Unix) and Windows NT you can always
see how much memory Gaussian is actually using. For geometry optimization you don't need much memory. On the contrary, for excited
states calculation and frequency calculation you will need lots of memory. Its amount depends, of cause, on the size of your system.

Best regards,
Igor Avilov.


--- 4) from  Laurence Cuffe ----
I've not used g98W however my experience with g94 and g98 rev
A7 and rev A11 would be similar to yours.  In general once a
calculation has adequate RAM adding more via a %mem directive
rarely makes much difference and can (perversely) slow down a
calculation where the operating system has to throw out other
processes to get a large RAM image into memory.  There are
exceptions for instance if you can get an entire calculation into ram
using a large %Mem and the directive scf=(incore,nosave) then the
calculation can be scary fast! however this opportunity occurs
rarely.  On a related subject very occasionally calculations have
failed with a "malloc" error indicating that they have not got
sufficient ram.  I have found that this error is often resolved by
either increasing or decreasing the %Mem amount by a small
amount, indicating that the program occasionally miscalculates the
amount of memory available by a small amount and a small
change in the memory allocation can fit it in.
Hope this helps
All the best
Laurence cuffe


--- 5) from Pierre Vitorge ----
I had similar problems. I run tests with different values for %mem, it seems
there is an optimum %mem value to obtain the shortest CPU time, this optimum
value is usually far from the maximum reasonable value (i.e the amount of
physical memory minus 150to300Mb for the system). This probably depends
(among other reasons) on the size of the exchange file memory, and whether
this file is at the begining of the disk. I asked help to Gaussian, but did
not get any answer.

--- 6) from David Shobe  ----
Telkuni,

If the program cannot advantageously use the additional memory, then increasing %mem has no effect.  However, if the additional
memory allows Gaussian to store an array in memory that would otherwise have been stored on disk, increasing %mem will significantly
shorten the time needed for the calculation.  Also, some jobs may not be able to run at all if insufficient memory is allocated with
%mem.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

what kind of computation? In SCF memory is not used over a certain
limit, and using more is just an overhead. For post-scf computations
more memory makes a huge difference (in the sense of improving the
performance).

Regards,

    Sigismondo Boschi

>>from Telkuni
Hello, Dr.Boschi.
Thank you for your reply.

It  is Opt --> Freq (# B3LYP/6-31G Opt Freq) calculation applying to
hydrogen bonded two molecles.
CPU times are about (Opt by 512MB)35min and (Opt by 128MB)39min,
(both Freq)18 min.

As you wrote, memory differnce doesn't act on SCF(opting, and freq?).

There exists a hypothesis that with today's fast CPU's it is better to
re-calculate some integrals in the CPU rather than store and read them
> from memory. Integrals are accessed rather randomly and the CPU cannot
cache them effectively. A cache miss can cost several tens of CPU
cycles while the value is fetched from RAM. It may be faster to
re-calculate a simple integral. Thus the calculation is faster if
there is less memory available, since this forces the program to
re-calculate integrals rather than store them.

Can someone with intricate knowledge of modern CPUs and integral
calculation algorithms tell if this is true?

Hi,

I think Christoph is right in so far, that you are not allowed to combine GRID 
maps and PLS techniques in the same package. However, if you seperate the two 
(i.e. GRID and GOLPE) you shouldn't have any problems.

Nevertheless you might want to check that with the people from moldiscovery.

Nik

Dear CClers,

Would you kindly tell me whethter Gaussian program (98 or 03) compute the
optical rotatory dispersion spectra directly? If yes, how should I do? I
only know Gaussian03 can compute the CD spectra.

Hello, CCLers.

Although I think it is very basic knowledge, I want to know the truth.

Some papers and books treat AMBER as Molecular Mechanic method 
describing with force fields and bonding parameters. But others treat 
AMBER as Molecular Dynamic method describing with potential functions.

Does AMBER belong MM or MD? and or both of them?

...All responses, I will appreciate. And I will summarize them.



 Sincerely yours,

There are no software patents approved in the EU. At least not yet.

I'm not sure the open source community should concern themselves=20
with IP issues. No validation nor research on prior art is done by
the patent office attorneys, so as a direct consequence most patents
are frivolous in nature, and their number is directly proportional
to the financial resources of the claimant. Ditto enforcement:
commercial entities win by virtue of larger resources. Witness
latest SCO vs. GNU/Linux charade.

It is certainly possible to release digitally
signed code anonymously, should legal pressure become a real
threat, so IP isn't really strictly enforcible anyway.

Are there at all documented intellectual property issues with
open source software in computational chemistry context?=20

Hi,

First, thanks a lot to Jos=E9 A. L=F3pez, Christoph van W=FCllen, =
Salvador Blaya Escarre, Mathias Weigt and Jos=E9 A. L=F3pez for their =
help and comments.

The conclusion is:
- It is possible to compile G03 with ifc. Quote: "It is not too =
difficult to get it running with that compiler. If you have no =
experience with editing Makefiles and so on, you might
have a problem."

- G03 rev. B.04 does not compile with the last version (5) of Portland =
compiler, and this is supossed to be corrected in the next revision.

So I will buy the source and give it a try.

Pablo
