Thanks. Thanks a lot for all the responses which are summarized below, as promised. However, before offering the summary, I would like to show you some ====================================================== Interesting Web Sites on LINUX ====================================================== What is Linux? - http://www.ssc.com/linux-int/Introduction/linux.html What can Linux do? - http://www.ssc.com/linux-int/Introduction/capabilities.html How many machines have run Linux ? - http://www.ssc.com/linux-int/News/Linux/v2.0/PR-Linux.2.0.0-English.html Where to find other scientific applications on Linux ? - http://www.KachinaTech.COM/SAL/ Is Linux as easy to use as Mac OS ? - http://www.ssc.com/linux-int/News/linux-pro.html Is Linux more reliable than commercial UNIX ? - http://www.ssc.com/linux-int/Introduction/Usenet/case6.html Where to obtain Linux ? - http://www.ssc.com/linux-int/Introduction/where.html ====================================================== SUMMARY: Chemical Programs for Linux ====================================================== From: Wolf-Dietrich Ihlenfeldt Wir haben eine Reihe von Programmen auf Linux laufen, unter anderem die ganzen CACTVS Tools. (Please check: http://schiele.organik.uni-erlangen.de/ -Lingran) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bryan Van Vliet I have a Linux machine in my home office. I put it together with a Pentium motherboard clone and parts from old computers. It is very fast and nice. It serves as my firewall/mail server/web server machine. I am using Slackware Linux. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Marcus G Martin We have recently started using a PC with Linux for running our in house Gibbs Ensemble - Configurational Bias Monte Carlo code. We determine phase diagrams, among other things, and a single run typically takes a week or two of cpu time. We found it was quite easy to port our code (written in fortran) to the Linux system and also get great speed from our 200 MHz Pentium Pro. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bill Ross ross@cgl.ucsf.EDU People have been running AMBER on linux. See the benchmarks on our web page for comparison w/ other machines (I'm about to add PPro numbers). (check: http://www.amber.ucsf.edu/amber/) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Satyam Priyadarshy Our department have a large number of SGI workstations and Dec Alpha workstations. Within last couple of months we have acquired a couple of Pentium Pro (single and dual processor) and we are running them with Linux.. The Pro's are faster for quantum calculations cf. R8000 of SGI using Gaussian. We are hoping that the use of Linux will grow in this Department with time and more and more chemistry related software will be available. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jan Reimers I am more of a materials scientist with a PhD degree in chemistry. I use a Linux/PC system as an inexpensive scientific workstation for Monte Carlo simulations and electronic structure calculations. I also find Linux be an excellent environment for software development. I am currently developing a DFT program for dealing with solids containing d and f elements. The program is designed to use a wide variety of basis functions AO's, Gaussians, contracted gaussians, plane waves, etc. I have chosen to use C++ for this project in order to manage the complexity of the task. Using an OO programming approach allows one to abstract away the details of the various basis functions, so that most of the code has no notion of precise nature of the basis function it is dealing with. Linux just happens to come with a C++ compiler (g++-2.7.2), and the multitasking allows me to do other work while long compilations are going. I currently just pipe (unix pipe concept) data into gnuplot for plotting. I have not yet investigated any of the more elaborate visualization tools that are available. I intend to try ViewMol if a statically linked version becomes available. I am very pleased that I can carry out my sort of project at home without having make a large initial monetary investment in software (real OS, good compiler, editor, revision control, plotting, etc.) to get going. Only 5 years ago this would have been a very expensive project just to get started on, in terms of OS and development tools. It is quite possible that I would benifit from a commercial C++ compiler, but at the moment g++ is adequite, and it also gaurantees portability to a very wide variety of platforms. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Dr. Ir. David van der Spoel spoel@rugmd17.mdli.com The GROMACS Molecular Dynamics code runs under linux http://rugmd0.chem.rug.nl/~gmx Performance on a 133 MHz pentium is comparable to an SGI Indy workstation (MIPS R4600) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ezequiel Quintana Morales I use Linux each time that I can. I run Mopac (caculations), Gifa (NMR), RasMol (viewer), Babel (change bewten file formats). I think that Linux has a big future ahead. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Edward S. Blurock" I am currently porting the REACTION, a system for modeling complex reaction systems such as combustion mechanisms, to Linux. It is a C++ application with a JAVA interface. For more info about REACTION itself see http://info.risc.uni-linz.ac.at:/people/blurock/REACTION/toppage.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Carles Bo bo@argo.urv.es (Carles Bo) We are porting ADF to Linux. check the http://tc.chem.vu.nl/SCM/Welcome.html to get more information about ADF. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Dr. Teerakiat Kerdcharoen" I also used LINUX/Pentium for production runs of my research in molecular dynamics simulations. Most of the time, I used in-house developed codes and sometime public domain source codes from Daresbury Laboratory library of molecular dynamics softwares in UK, http://www.dl.ac.uk/CCP/CCP5/main.html Most of the codes there are written in FORTRAN and certainly portable to LINUX. I would also suggest a Homepage of collection of LINUX's scientific software at, http://www.KachinaTech.COM/SAL/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Dr.Larissa Steinhauer" Auf meiner Seite: http://schiele.organik.uni-erlangen.de/Valentin_Steinhauer findest Du viele Anwendungen for LINUX und JAVA. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Margaret Wong We do quite a bit of visualisation, analysis of data and run a web server from our linux box. Nearly anything written in C (with xwindows graphics) can be run easily. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Pedro A M Vazquez We're using FreeBSD (www.freebsd.org) instead of linux but I believe most of programs were ported to both as both use the same programing tools: gcc/f2c gnu g77 sun libm xfree86 mesa motif opengl etc To my knowledge the following programs are running in both systems for at least a year gamess (even the parallel version) gaussian94 mopac (6,7,93) molview molden rasmol mm2 mm3 and many more I can't recall now, these are the most used at my site. I can't remember a fortran or C program with available source code that was unportable to one or another being portable to a mainstream Unix brand. As far as I know the only big diference between Linux and FreeBSD is the file size limitation on Linux (2.0G, and presumed to be removed soon) and slightly different behaviours of libm among different distributions (Slackware, RedHat, etc) . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks. -Lingran ********************************************************** Lingran Chen, Ph.D. Senior Scientific Programmer MDL Information Systems, Inc. 14600 Catalina Street San Leandro CA 94577 Phone: (510) 895-1313, Ext. 1305 FAX: (510) 614-3616 Email: LCHEN@MDLI.COM URL: http://www.mdli.com http://syngen2.chem.brandeis.edu/~chen/lingran.html ********************************************************** From ccl@www.ccl.net Fri Feb 7 14:21:36 1997 Received: from bedrock.ccl.net for ccl@www.ccl.net by www.ccl.net (8.8.3/950822.1) id NAA14095; Fri, 7 Feb 1997 13:33:49 -0500 (EST) Received: from quimor.qo.fcen.uba.ar for esprov@qo.fcen.uba.ar by bedrock.ccl.net (8.8.3/950822.1) id NAA14631; Fri, 7 Feb 1997 13:33:43 -0500 (EST) Received: from burtonlab.qo.fcen.uba.ar by quimor.qo.fcen.uba.ar with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #3) id m0vsvFC-0004kaC; Fri, 7 Feb 97 15:41 GMT-0300 Message-Id: Date: Fri, 7 Feb 97 15:41 GMT-0300 X-Sender: esprov#quimor.qo.fcen.uba.ar@burtonlab X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: CHEMISTRY@ccl.net From: esprov@qo.fcen.uba.ar (Eduardo Sproviero) Dr. F. Weinhold: I work in Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina) with professors Ruben H. Contreras and Gerardo Burton. My area of interest is Chemical Physics, Molecular Modeling, NMR spectroscopy, etc. I have been reading some papers where I had noticed the importance of your package "NBO". I am a user of a popular "electronic structure system" (GAMESS) and I attached the NBO program to it. However I had a problem: I could not make use of the deletion capability: a division by zero cause an error condition whatever the molecule or the deletion procedure I use. Most of the others capabilities work properly. Have you any idea of what is happening?. I am using a GAMESS version from February 1996, and a NBO package from October 1991, which has been taken by anonymous FTP to ftp.ccl.net. May I need I newer version of NBO?. More information: I run GAMESS and NBO in a Sun Sparcstation 20 with Solaris 2.4 and the FORTRAN 3.0 compiler. May I need to use a particular option with the f77 compiler? If you could help me I would appreciate it very much. Sincerely Eduardo M.
