rrdtool ( http://www.rrdtool.com/ ) or ganglia ( see
http://ganglia.mrcluster.org/ for demo and click on the left upper corner
for source ) does something similar. Condor is an other queueing system
that can be used also and it has monitoring web-interface as well :

Dear CCLers,

Could you recommend free programs for the calculations of the follwing
properties:

-the fraction of the ligand volume buried inside the binding pocket,
-the size of lipophilic cavities along the protein-ligand interface,
-the solvent-accessible surface (SAS) of nonpolar parts of the
ligand, and
-the number of close contacts between non-hydrogen-bonded polar atoms of
the ligand and the protein?

Any contribution is appreciated. Programs will be summarized.
Best wishes,
Csaba

Dear CCLers,

When I calculted the solvation energy of actinides using PCM model and CPCM 
model in Gaussian98, I met the following error:

PEDRA: too many spheres; increase Omega
Error termination via Lnk1e in /usr/local/src/g98/l502.exe.

My calculating system is actinides, including both the first hydration shell 
and a full second hydration shell, totally 30 waters around actinide 
element.
Could you please help me out on this problem? Your kind help would be 
greately appreciated.

Mime-Version: 1.0

Thanks to all who replied to my question regarding how to get the
name of the calling routine of a C function.  It seems this is not "a
simple thing", which is what I was afraid of.  The most useful suggestion(s)
were to treat the problem via #defining the call rather than have the
routine figure out its caller:

#define Error_Msg(x,y)     Error_Msg_Linux(__func__,x,y)

so that one could write

Error_Msg("Unable to open output file",UNABLE_TO_OPEN)

and the error message routine would see the calling function as the first
argument.  __FUNCTION__ seems to work as well in gcc, although
__func__  conforms to the newer standard.  This makes it easy for error
messages to be tagged where they arise (which is what I was looking
for).

Research is currently underway on SGI - the older machines I have access
to don't see to have either of these symbols.  I'm making due with __FILE__
and __LINE__, which is not quite what I want (but it works).  If anybody's
familiar with a similar variable (or compiler switch setting) for IRIX C to get
me what gcc yields, please post it!

I want to keep using IRIX C as long as possible due to the performance gains
which result.

Thanks again to all - hopefully this helps somebody else with how to do
nice error messages!

Dear Colleagues,

I have a budget around $40k CN to shop for a new computer system, which
will be used for MD simulation, virtual screening and some bioinformative
stuff. Currently, I am looking at two options: Origin 300 (2 cpu) or PC
Linux Cluster. I would like to hear your experience with these systems and
spend the limited budget right.

(1) An Origin 300 2cpu 500MHZ cost around $35k. Are you using this kind of
system? Do you have benchmark of MD simulation (such as Amber) for this
system? Do you regret your purchase?

(2) What is the best configuration for a PC Linux cluster now?  Is your
cluster stable enough? For example, it only break down once a month
instead of once a week or two weeks. How do you take care of the maintance
issue? Do you keep a spare node to serve as spare parts for other nodes? 
How much it cost to mantain a PC cluster (service, parts, etc)?

If you make the choice, what kind of system would you go for it? Any
suggestion will be greatly appreciated. 

Best wishes,

Jian Hui Wu

Subject: Announcement: Molecular Modeling Toolkit release 2.2

            Molecular Modeling Toolkit release 2.2
            ======================================

The Molecular Modelling Toolkit (MMTK) is an Open Source program
library for molecular simulation applications. In addition to
providing ready-to-use implementations of standard algorithms, MMTK
serves as a code basis that can be easily extended and modified to
deal with standard and non-standard problems in molecular simulations.

MMTK's functionality includes

- construction of molecular systems, with special support for proteins
  and nucleic acids
- infinite systems or periodic boundary conditions (orthorhombic
  elementary cells)
- common geometrical operations on coordinates
- rigid-body fits
- visualization using external PDB and VRML viewers; animation of
  dynamics trajectories and normal modes
- the AMBER 94 force field, with several options for handling electrostatic
  interactions
- a deformation force field for fast normal mode calculations on proteins
- energy minimization (steepest descent and conjugate gradient)
- molecular dynamics (with optional thermostat, barostat, and
  distance constraints)
- normal mode analysis
- trajectory operations
- point charge fits
- molecular surface calculations
- interfaces to other programs


Release 2.2 contains numerous small additions, improvements, and
bug fixes. The main new features since the last official release,
2.0, are

- Parallelization on shared-memory machines using threads.
- Parallelization using MPI. The parallelization uses a data replication
  scheme and is therefore efficient only for a relatively small number
  of processors.
- Various harmonic force fields for efficient normal mode calculations
  on proteins.
- Harmonic restraints.
- OPLS force field.
- TrajectoryViewer, a tool for inspecting MMTK trajectories.


For more information and for downloading, see the MMTK Web site at

Dear all:

            I have several check point files from calculations with gaussian
98 Revision A.6.  At this moment I do not have access to any revision before
A.9.  Is there any  way I can reuse those chk? or my only option is to run
everything again?.

            I know that if the I could use the utility formchk from revision
A.6, I can get an fchk file that can be converted back into a chk file using
the unfchk utility of any revision I want to use, but formchk from A.6 is
not available to me.

            Thank you for your help
