Also, there is another strong possibility if you are running the program 
on some cluster and the nodes are writing back to the server. We had 
such a situation where the wall clock time was an order of magnitude 
larger compared to the CPU time even for a DFT calculation (which means 
it was not IO bound) and the only thing the program was writing back to 
the server was a log file! We spotted the problem, it was the slow 
communication between the gigabit switch and the nodes. The "auto 
negotiatiation" was not working properly. The problem was fixed as soon 
as the switch and the nodes were set to full duplex.
Such a problem would be easy to spot looking at the network statistics 
and the CPU and disk usage.

Hi all,

I am trying to load a monolayer of phospholipids into Tinker and I have =
encountered some problems.  The file was converted to a pdb file from a =
HyperChem hin file and now I am trying to convert it to a Tinker xyz =
file.  The problem I am having is that the conversion is having a =

check the atom type of the first atom.  Does anybody have any =
suggestions for me?

Thanks in advance,
Richard

Gaussian usually prints extra stuff by just re-reading the checkpoint 
file and including the guess=only option. This should take only a few 
seconds to do, and I bet it will give the force constants, though I am 
not 100% sure. You may want to include the #P option too.

                       ANNOUNCEMENT OF ACS SYMPOSIUM:

          Chemistry in the Large -- Teraflop Computing and beyond

         Organizers: Theresa L. Windus, Wibe A. de Jong (EMSL/PNNL)

You are cordially invited to submit papers for the symposium "Chemistry
in the 
Large - Teraflop Computing and beyond".  This symposium will take place
as part 
of the COMP section symposia at the 230th American Chemical Society
National 
Meeting, August 28-September 1 in Washington, DC.

The goal of this symposium is to discuss current and future applications
and
challenges for computational chemistry research on large teraflop
computer
systems and beyond. What are the large scientific challenges that are
being 
solved today?  What will the science be that can be done on tera- and
petascale 
computers?  Do we need to change the algorithms and/or paradigms in
computational chemistry?  Sessions will include topics such as:

	*	Searching for chemical accuracy: terascale computing
with high 
            accuracy ab inito methodologies
	*	Simulating biological processes on thousands of
processors
	*	Teraflop computing in geochemistry, nanoscience and
catalysis
	*	Making computational chemistry codes efficient beyond
the terascale

In addition a general session on future scientific challenges in
computational 
chemistry on petaflop computing platforms is available.

The deadline for submittal of abstracts for the symposium is April 25,
2005.  
So, please submit soon!

Note: This symposium is incorrectly listed with "Invited papers only" in
the ACS
OASYS abstract system (http://oasys.acs.org/oasys.htm).  The organizers
strongly
encourage and welcome the submission of CONTRIBUTED papers.  In
addition, the 
title currently listed in OASYS is "Chemistry in the Large -- Multiple
Processor

Dear all,

I am currently using Gaussian 98 to optimize one molecule in water by PCM modle.

Since in the previous optimization without any constraint, the molecule always changes between several very different structures, and the energies are very different: one is much higher than the other. The optimization process keeps the molecule back and forth between these structures until the maximum optimization steps exceeded.

Therefore, I applied a geomitry constraint on the stucture to prevent the unwanted structure(with higher energy). unfortunately, the similar thing happend again: the structure keeps changing,and never converges.

Why does this happen when I use PCM model? How can I prevent this? Any suggestions and help will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Archilles.

Dear Sirs:

Does anyone know how to set up ensembles, like NVT or NVE, 
for dynamics calculations(BOMD or ADMP) in Gaussian03?

I very appreciate your help!

Hi all,

Thanks to Geoff Hutchison, I was able to solve the conversion problem.  =
Now the question I have is what force field that works with Tinker is =
good to use for phospholipids?

TIA,

PACIFICHEM 2005
December 15-20 2005, Honolulu, Hawaii

http://www.pacifichem.org

Pacifichem is one of the world's largest chemical=20
congresses, presenting in excess of 5000 papers=20
in a diverse range of topics, and attracting top=20
researchers in many fields of chemistry.  It is=20
held in the major hotels on Waikiki beach.  The=20
congress is somewhat unusual as it is made up of=20
a large number of symposia that have been=20
proposed as hot areas by researchers.  Although=20
it is very large, it is streamed to avoid clashes=20
between symposia who may have audiences with=20
overlapping interests.

The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 13th=20
April 2005; late submissions will not be accepted.

Symposium number 7 in the Medicinal Chemistry theme is

Complexity and Related Computational Methods in Bioactive Discovery

Many chemical and biological systems are 'complex=20
systems' that exhibit emergent properties and=20
behaviour often not well modelled by reductionist=20
approaches. Novel complex systems science tools=20
such as neural networks, and other agent-based=20
methods, genetic algorithms and genetic=20
programming, artificial ant colonies, particle=20
swarms, nonlinear methods, knot theory etc are=20
finding increased application in chemistry and=20
bioactive discovery and development (drugs and=20
ag/vet agents). This symposium will provide an=20
opportunity for participants to present their=20
work on these new methods, and to probe the=20
extent to which a complex systems science (CSS)=20
approach to bioactive discovery is useful for=20
developing new leads. It will challenge=20
participants to explore other CSS methods in=20
modelling chemical and biological systems and=20
developing novel bioactive agents. The symposium=20
will also probe the overlap between traditional=20
computational approaches to drug discovery and=20
development, ADMET modelling, and related fields=20
and methods of complexity. The symposium is very=20
broad based and will accept any papers relating=20
to computational approaches to bioactive design,=20
discovery and development, and complexity methods=20
applied to chemistry and bioactive discovery.

Greg Dewey (Keck Inst)	  Complexity in biology
Hideaki Suzuki		  Biologically-mimetic computing

Contributed papers are very welcome.  All=20
delegates wishing to present a paper (invited or=20
contributed, oral or poster) must submit an=20
abstract on-line. Please read the guidelines=20
first. The electronic abstract system can then be=20
accessed via the Online Abstract Login button on=20
the web site.

I look forward to meeting you in Honolulu next December

ChemNavigator is pleased to announce the availability of new chemical
structure management and analysis software tools and the release of 3DPL
Version 3.4 for virtual screening.  Please use the URL below to learn more.

CncTranslate - Cheminformatics Utility Program provides a broad range of
cheminformatics software utilities ranging from basic file conversions (SD,
SLN, SMILES and more) to 2D structure searching to 3D coordinate generation.
Use CncTranslate to build your own text file based cheminformatics system.

CncMCS - New maximum common substructure analysis tool.

CncDiverse - A software tool for the selection of diverse chemical libraries
> from within a very large database of chemical structures.

3DPL(tm) Version 3.4 - Fast, Exhaustive, Flexible 3D Virtual Screening based
on a combination of 3D flexible searching and molecular docking techniques.
Now available for use within your organization.

These tools are available under both commercial and academic license fee
models.  Contact us to learn more about our Academic Collaboration Program
for Free Access to these tools.
