Subject: what is Titan ?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello CCLers,
      Does anyone have experience using "Titan" program?
I'm cosidering to buy it, and i'm very interesting in the following topics:

1. Have Titan full functionality of Jaguar ( GVB, etc. ) or only
limited subset of it?
2. The Titan's precursor, Spartan, is copy-protected with HASP. Is
Titan copy-protected with HASP too?

Any answersn will be gratefully pleased.

Best regards,
G.A.Schamov

Subject: Restraining potentials for umbrella sampling





In all accounts of umbrella sampling I've seen, the restraining
potentials, when given, are invariably harmonic in the reaction
coordinate.  However, it would be computationally cheaper (specially
when the simulation method requires computing forces) to make this
potential flat in the region of interest.  I.e.,

		(x - x0)^2, if |x - x0| > h
	V(x) =
                h^2,        if |x - x0| <= h ;

This potential V is flat if the reaction coordinate x lies in the
interval [x0 - h, x0 + h], and grows quadratically otherwise.  (Linear
"walls" instead of quadratic ones lead to other problems, because they
don't penalize far-out conformations sufficiently unless one makes the
walls practically vertical; this would preclude even minor excursions
out of the window, which would be undesirable, since such excursions
may sometimes be necessary to adequately sample the desired window.)

Does anybody know of any serious drawback with the "flat-bottom"
scheme described above?

Thanks

KJ

Subject: MP2+freq and pop=nbo problems with g98 on SGI
Cc: guido@hal.icqem.pi.cnr.it

Hello!

Recently I recompiled g98 Rev. A6 on a SGI Origin 2000 (IRIX 6.5.5f and
7.3 compilers). After this, pop=nbo doesn't work any more. The same jobs
that took less than 1 minute with the binaries generated by the 7.2.1.2m
compilers now stay in for 30 hours in l607 without exiting. The same
happens with Rev. A7, that however I didn't try with the old compilers.

Another problem common to both revisions and to both compilers is that
jobs requiring MP2 frequencies crash. Sometimes there is a request for
an unreasonable amount of memory, sometimes just a sentence mentioning
an error, sometimes nothing more than a core dump. The same jobs run
fine on a DEC with the same 1 GB of RAM and less disk space. The only
MP2 frequencies I was able to get on the Origin were from diatomics.

Thank you and regards

Guido Germano

Dear Dr. Schamov,

our researchgroup just purchased Titan recently. As far as I know, Titan has
the full functionality of Jaguar and it is also hardware protected.

Hello all,
Sorry about the post, all I did was delete the object files that came
with the distribution (which I assume  were SGI object files, but funny
thing is that the library is still malformed, but the dist_3.0 one is
fine, not that it matters) and the makefile works fine.

Thanks for the help,
Maneesh

Subject: Summary: compilation problem of NBO
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi:
    I have sent an email about compilation problem of NBO, I got the
great help from Dr. Eric Glendening and Dr. Fred P. Arnold. Here is the
solution for my problem.

>From Fred:
--------------------
There should be a file with it called 'activate.f', or some such, which
is
used to cut out the specific version of NBO you need (standalone,
Gaussian
Modules, Mopac Modules, etc).  It should be in the same directory you
got
the program from.

Most commercial packages, (Gaussian, Jaguar, Spartan) have NBO built it,
but they cost real money.  

                                                -fred
-------------------------------------------------------------


>From Dr. Eric:

------------------------
Don't copy nbo.src to nbo.f and compile.  nbo.src contains source
code for the standalone version of NBO and for interfaces to programs
like GAMESS and Gaussian.  These lines of nbo.src have been commented
out.  The preprocessor program (Enable.f) that should have come with
the NBO source code must be used to activate a version of NBO before
compilation.

Compile Enable.f.  Run Enable to activate one of the NBO versions,
presumably the standalone, GENNBO.  Compile the resulting gennbo.f
file.
----------------------------------------------

The following is another question about NBO, and the answer from Eric
is:

> I got the error:
> -----------------------------------------------
> ld: WARNING 85: definition of shmdt_ in GENNBO.o preempts that
> definition in /usr/lib/libftn.so.
> ld: WARNING 47: This module contains branch instruction(s) that might
> degrade performance on an older version (rev. 2.2) R4000 processor.
> ----------------------------------------------------------

I suspect that this is only a warning that one of the NBO routines
(SHMDT) has the name as that in the fortran library.  Do you get an
executable?  If so, it's probably fine.  If not, you might go through
nbo.src and rename all occurences of SHMDT to, say, SHMIDT, then 
recompile.

> And when I generate the AMPNBO.FOR, I compiled it with f77 -o ampnbo
> ampnbo.for, I got the error of "Cannot open file SIZES". So would you
> please give me more suggestion about my problem. Thank you.

AMPNBO is not a standalone code.  It must be interfaced to the AMPAC
program.  SIZES is the AMPAC file that defines version program
parameters.

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

Thank Dr. Eric and Dr. Fred again.

Regards,
Mao Xiang
