Dear Netters,

I'm working with some naphthalene sulfonates.
Does anyone know where I can find any references?
Does anyone have force field parameters for
these types of functional groups?

I'll summarize to the list.

Thanks in advance for your help.


Cheers,

Dear CCLers,

Is anyone of you aware of a quadruple precision (real*16) Fortran version
of the diagonalisation routine HQRII.F ? F90 compiler for Digital Unix
allows to use real*16 variables, however, there are some constants in the
routine which are machine-precision dependent (and some which *probably*
are, although this is not explicitly stated) therefore I wonder whether
anyone has tried to adjust these constants for higher accuracy calculations
and tested the program.
I would be grateful for any information.

In reply to a question by Masao Masamura, for refs to the water dimer and BSSE,
E.Lewars supplied some dimer references. I would like to add the following
to his list:
   M.Schuetz et al., J.Chem.Phys. 107 (1997) 4597.
This study treats the dimer at the MP2 level with _very_ large basis sets
and explicitly discusses the influence of BSSE and other errors.

E.Lewars also pointed to a reference on the water hexamer (Chem Phys Letters 
1991, 176, 41-45). This work is by now slightly outdated, in particular it
arrives at a proposed global minimum that is qualitatively different from
later work using higher-level calculations (MP2 instead of HF-SCF), e.g.
 - C.J.Tsai and K.D.Jordan, Chem.Phys.Lett. 213 (1993) 181.
 - D.C.Clary et al., Nature 381 (1996) 501; J.Phys.Chem. 100 (1996) 18014.
Note that recent experimental work seems to be in agreement with the cage
structure found in these theoretical studies:
 - Saykally et al., J.Phys.Chem. A 101 (1997) 8995.
I should also mention that M.Schuetz, Prof. H.-J.Werner and myself have just
developed an improved NEMO potential that reproduces ab-initio MP2 energies
of all the important pentamer and hexamer minimum structures perfectly 
(including the cage). A paper on these results will be submitted in a few weeks.

Dear All,

I'm organizing a session at the Anaheim ACS in April '98 devoted to
conformational analysis (CA).
It's time there was session on this subject, since CA forms the basis of
so many compuational
chemistry problems (hypothesis and pharmacophore generation, database
searching, docking etc).

I'd like to make this a lively session that focuses not only on CA
algorithms, but also examines
the problem domain and identifies the problems to be solved, the metrics
used to measure
success and future directions.

If you are interested in participating, please send me an email
describing your proposed talk.

Below is the short abstract I submitted to the ACS recently, and I very
much look forward
to your participation in this session.

I will be out of the office on vacation from 6/29 to 7/12, but will
respond asap.

Session Title: Conformational Analysis: Stepping up to the new
challenges.
The interest in processing millions of compounds from high-throughput
screening and combinatorial
or virtual libraries has placed new demands on the ability to
conformationally analyze large
numbers of molecules. Often the generation of good low-energy
conformations for these large
datasets is the major bottleneck in deducing 3D information from these
molecules. This session
focuses on models, tools and techniques for deriving 3D information from
large numbers of molecules.

<P>Dear All,

<P>I'm organizing a session at the Anaheim ACS in April '98 devoted to
conformational analysis (CA).
<BR>It's time there was session on this subject, since CA forms the basis
of so many compuational
<BR>chemistry problems (hypothesis and pharmacophore generation, database
searching, docking etc).

<P>I'd like to make this a lively session that focuses not only on CA algorithms,
but also examines
<BR>the problem domain and identifies the problems to be solved, the metrics
used to measure
<BR>success and future directions.

<P>If you are interested in participating, please send me an email describing
your proposed talk.

I don't know about any specific comparisons between the R5000 or
R10000 in an O2 and the PII or AMD-K6-2, but...

It is important to remember increasingly, system components other than
the CPU can strongly effect the performance for "real" applications.
With memory busses at 66 or 100 MHz, it can be quite hard to feed the
CPU fast enough to get the peak performance, unless everything is
coming out of cache.  And the utility of the cache will depend
strongly on the applications and algorithms involved.

Balance may be more important than raw CPU performance.

Subject:      Linux -malign-double?
To: chemistry@ccl.net




  Dear CCL Users:
  Recently I posted a LINUX makefile for installing G94 on a Pentium
running RedHat Linux.  Milan Hodoscek wrote me to say that I had
omitted the -malign-double compiler option.  In fact I recalled his
posting of this several months ago.  When we tried it here there was
hardly any difference in runtime.  Milan has written me again to say
this option could make a large difference in run time on a Pentium.
  My question is does anyone know about this option?  Is it now a default
setting so now it is not important?  Or have I done something wrong?
  To see what we used go to:

Subject: CCL:Uploading PDB files to a CGI script
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii




Dear Netters:

Thanks to all who replied to my inquiry. In my original posting I have
reported a web server timing out when large files are uploaded via an
HTML form.

After some wrestling with the script I have figured out that the web
server is basically OK and can accept data of any size. The problem is
with Netscape browsers: server times out because browsers cannot handle
large amounts of data from CGI programs. Let me present an example:

This simple HTML form will let you upload any readable disk file into
a CGI program:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Simple form</TITLE>
<BODY>
<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" METHOD="POST" ACTION="your_CGI_script">
 Enter PDB file name:<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="pdbdata" SIZE=70></INPUT>
<P>
<INPUT NAME="s_submit" TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="SUBMIT"></INPUT>
<INPUT NAME="s_reset"  TYPE="RESET"  VALUE="RESET FORM"></INPUT>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

The CGI program I used takes the data and returns it to the browser
as plain text (compile it and replace "your_CGI_script" by the executable
pathname):


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

main()
{
    unsigned long i, n=0;
    char *cl;

    printf("Content-type:text/plain\n\n");
    cl=getenv("CONTENT_LENGTH");
    if(cl) n=atoi(cl);

    for(i=0; i<n; i++) putchar(getchar());
    putchar('\n');
    fflush(stdout);
}


This works fine for small input files. For PDB data the threshold correspond
to about ~300 atom coordinates. Submitting larger file locks the browser
and causes the server to time out. When the "putchar" function is removed
from the "for" loop (i.e., no data are returned to the browser) everything
works fine. Same when the loop is slightly modified to output characters
for "i" below certain threshold (10000 works here). Clearly, there is a
miscommunication between the CGI program and the browser.

I tried Netscape 3.04 and 4.02 on SGI, Netscape 3.0 on PC and Netscape 4.02 on
Apple Macintosh. All of them show the same symptoms. Is it a bug, or am I doing
something wrong? Any hints will be greatly appreciated and summarized on the
list.

With best regards,
Robert Fraczkiewicz

I agree.  I had overlooked the fact that the SGI O2/*150* is (may be? --see below)
not an R10k machine like the newer R10k@250MHz and R10k@195MHz O2's.  This indeed 
would invalidate my comparison.  (The original question didn't mention CPU type.)

Carlos Simmerling <carlos@tettares.ucsf.EDU> pointed out to me that there is no 
such thing as a *195*MHz R10k Origin 200, but only a 180MHz version.  The machine 
on which the above G94 timing was obtained had indeed an R10k 195MHz CPU, but was 
an Indigo2 system.  (I got confused because the machine with the same hostname is 
*now* an Origin 200 but was an Indigo2 at the time of the benchmarking.)

Also, these small test jobs are not always a good indicator for the performance
of a system for larger 'real-life' G94 jobs.  We've clearly seen this in our
benchmarking, where we also timed larger DFT jobs.  However, the two machines
I mentioned were unfortunately not included in the DFT part of our comparison.

I apologize for the confusion that my posting may have created.  I guess I 
should have stuck to the numbers we've actually measured and not tried to
guess benchmark outcomes :-\

Finally, lest my posting may create the impression that I was basically trying to
say "these commodity-type computers such as PII systems cannot do real serious
(G94) work", let me assure you that the exact opposite is true (as our benchmark
study clearly showed.)

I'm glad someone finally said this.  For CPU bound jobs, it's clear
that Pentium II will be faster than O2 and it's to its credit that
it's competitive with R10000.  

But many large Gaussian jobs are IO bound, and here a Pentium II
with a conventional architecture will probably suffer.

Our ECPs are incorporated into the GAMESS program (Iowa State), but I am
sure will work w/ any other program.  Additionally, a considerable amount
of research has been done on the Ln ECPs by the Stuttgart group (refs given
in the papers).

Additionally, a recent paper by myself & an undergraduate research student
compares a variety of methods (pseuopotentials included) for Ln complexes.
