Subject: Athlon optimized BLAS routines
Date: Thu, 21 Oct 1999 09:42:39 -0400 (EDT)


From: Emil Briggs <briggs@tick.physics.ncsu.edu>

I've written a set of Athlon optimized double precision 
BLAS1 routines in assembly. The source can be found at

http://nemo.physics.ncsu.edu/~briggs/blas_src_v0.11_tar.gz


The routines are in an early stage of development but they do
pass the Level 1 Blas testing routines from netlib and they
work correctly in the applications I've tested. Thats not
a guarantee that they are correct in all cases however so
use with caution. The routines use the Athlon memory prefetch 
instructions which really boost performance for large data
sets. (You'll get an illegal instruction exception on PentiumIII
systems).

I'm still tuning, optimizing and debugging but these are already
much faster on an Athlon than any other set of BLAS1 libs that
I know of available for Linux. 


Regards
Emil


------------------------------------------------------------------

Benchmark results on a 500Mhz Athlon system. Best time of 20 iterations.
Intel optimized libraries are version lsblasppro1.1o_08.99.a courtesy

Dear CCLers,

  May I draw your attention now?

  We announce here that the program package PLOGP is now available. You
can download it free via anonymous FTP to 
ftp2.ipc.pku.edu.cn/pub/software/plogp/. 

  PLOGP is an residue-additive method for calculating the octanol/water
partition coefficient(logP) of peptide less than hexapeptide. It gives the
logP and logD value for a give peptide by summing the contributions from
residues and correction factors. 

 Our work of PLOGP has been published:

Calculating Partition Coefficients of Peptides by the Addition Method
Peng Tao, Renxiao Wang, and Luhua Lai
J. Mol. Model. 1999, 5, 189-195.

 To know more about the program package PLOGP, please visit the site:

http://mdl.ipc.pku.edu.cn/~taop/achievement/plogp/PLOGP_MANUAL.html


  PLOGP is written in C and has been tested on UNIX, and LINUX platforms. 

  If you encounter any problem while downloading the program, please
contact Mr. Peng Tao  at <taop@mdl.ipc.pku.edu.cn>. 


  Please forward this mail to anyone who may concern. 

  With best wishes,

  Molecular Design Laboratory, Institute of Physical Chemistry
  Peking University, Beijing, China

                                Yours Sincerely

Hi,

I have come across a problem in which it would be useful to perform a
correlated calculation on a solid since the errors in LDA are too large. I
have not seen any codes which carry out MP2 in a solid. Is there some
fundamental numerical or theoretical reason for this?

Cheers,

Andrew

Subject: energy decomposition
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Dear CCLers,

I'm looking for a method for intramolecular energy decomposition,
which is able to give the various contributions to the total energy
of rotational barriers like e.g. the ones in ethane, ethene ...

The decomposition schemes of Morokuma and also of Ziegler seem to be
applicable only for intermolecular interactions, as is the version
available in Gamess. With NBO analysis I get Fock matrix energy terms
for various bond bond interactions, but here it seems that I am
restricted to one localized mesomeric structure. 
I would like to have a consistent measure of steric, bonding and
antibonding, mesomeric contributions to total energy.
Is there any program available that can do this?

Faster than Compaq's cxml stuff on a 264 machine ?
Sorry, I do not have the numbers, since I only have a 164 machine. Just
beeing curious :-)

Hello all,
We are trying to get a decent picture of the conformation of a duplex DNA
string with a small internal reigon of mismatched base pairs, can anyone
comment on some good tools/ways to do this?  I can run minimzations
through insightII, but I don't think I can do a decent job with the
forcefields that you can run minimizations with (if anyone would like to
tell me other wise, please do).

-Many Thanks,
Maneesh Yadav

 It seems that so far MP2 method has been implemented for polymers only. 
Check the following paper:

 "Analytical energy gradients in second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation
theory for extended systems"
 S. Hirata and S. Iwata, J. Chem. Phys. 109, 4147 (1998).

 The paper references most of the people working in this area.
Specifically, these are

S. Suhai
J. Q. Sun and R. J. Bartlett
S. Hirata and S. Iwata

 Sun and Bartlett did some studies about convergence of the required MO
integrals:

Second-order many-body perturbation-theory calculations in extended
systems.

It was well known (but mostly forgotten by many) that MP2 energy diverges
for the electron gas.  The same is probably true for the solids with small
HOMO-LUMO gap.  Even the presence of very diffuse orbitals in molecules
often deteriorates MP2 energy.  That is probably the reason of lack of MP2
calculations in solids.
