  • Free and Open Source Software for Computational Chemistry Education
    Free and Open Source Software for Computational Chemistry Education Susi Lehtola∗,y and Antti J. Karttunenz yMolecular Sciences Software Institute, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061, United States zDepartment of Chemistry and Materials Science, Aalto University, Espoo, Finland E-mail: [email protected].fi Abstract Long in the making, computational chemistry for the masses [J. Chem. Educ. 1996, 73, 104] is finally here. We point out the existence of a variety of free and open source software (FOSS) packages for computational chemistry that offer a wide range of functionality all the way from approximate semiempirical calculations with tight- binding density functional theory to sophisticated ab initio wave function methods such as coupled-cluster theory, both for molecular and for solid-state systems. By their very definition, FOSS packages allow usage for whatever purpose by anyone, meaning they can also be used in industrial applications without limitation. Also, FOSS software has no limitations to redistribution in source or binary form, allowing their easy distribution and installation by third parties. Many FOSS scientific software packages are available as part of popular Linux distributions, and other package managers such as pip and conda. Combined with the remarkable increase in the power of personal devices—which rival that of the fastest supercomputers in the world of the 1990s—a decentralized model for teaching computational chemistry is now possible, enabling students to perform reasonable modeling on their own computing devices, in the bring your own device 1 (BYOD) scheme. In addition to the programs’ use for various applications, open access to the programs’ source code also enables comprehensive teaching strategies, as actual algorithms’ implementations can be used in teaching.

Abstract: This article describes the software suite GROMACS (Groningen MAchine for Chemical Simulation) that was developed at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, in the early 1990s. The software, written in ANSI C, originates from a parallel hardware project, and is well suited for parallelization on processor clusters. By careful optimization of neighbor searching and of inner loop performance, GROMACS is a very fast program for molecular dynamics simulation. It does not have a force field of its own, but is compatible with GROMOS, OPLS, AMBER, and ENCAD force fields. In addition, it can handle polarizable shell models and flexible constraints. The program is versatile, as force routines can be added by the user, tabulated functions can be specified, and analyses can be easily customized. Nonequilibrium dynamics and free energy determinations are incorporated. Interfaces with popular quantum-chemical packages (MOPAC, GAMES-UK, GAUSSIAN) are provided to perform mixed MM/QM simula- tions. The package includes about 100 utility and analysis programs.

GUEST2 1Theoretical Chemistry Group (Associated with the Department of Organic Chemistry and Catalysis), Debye Institute, Utrecht University, Padualaan 8, 3584 CH Utrecht, The Netherlands 2CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory, Daresbury WA4 4AD, United Kingdom Received 5 July 2005; Accepted 20 December 2005 DOI 10.1002/jcc.20393 Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). Abstract: We describe the procedure to start an SCF calculation of the general type from a sum of atomic electron densities, as implemented in GAMESS-UK. Although the procedure is well known for closed-shell calculations and was already suggested when the Direct SCF procedure was proposed, the general procedure is less obvious. For instance, there is no need to converge the corresponding closed-shell Hartree–Fock calculation when dealing with an open-shell species. We describe the various choices and illustrate them with test calculations, showing that the procedure is easier, and on average better, than starting from a converged minimal basis calculation and much better than using a bare nucleus Hamiltonian. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

From a standard protein simulation, to the use of steered molecular dynamics (SMD), to modelling DNA-protein interactions, there are many useful applications. With the advent of massively parallel simulation programs such as NAMD2, the limits of computational anal- ysis are being pushed even further. Inevitably there comes a time in any molecular modelling scientist’s career when the need to simulate an entirely new molecule or ligand arises. The tech- nique of determining new force field parameters to describe these novel system components therefore becomes an invaluable skill. Determining the correct sys- tem parameters to use in conjunction with the chosen force field is only one important aspect of the process.

A domain-based distributed-memory algorithm in the MPI/OpenMP hybrid framework has been designed to effectively utilize the memory bandwidth and significantly minimize the interconnect communication, particularly for the tensor contraction in the evaluation of the particle−particle ladder term. Our implementation features a rigorous avoidance of the on- the-fly disk storage and excellent strong scaling of up to 10 000 and more cores. Taking a set of molecules with different sizes, we demonstrate that the parallel performance of our CCSD(T) code is competitive with the CC implementations in state-of- the-art high-performance-computing computational chemistry packages. We also demonstrate that the numerical error due to the use of RI approximation in our RI-CCSD(T) method is negligibly small. Together with the correlation-consistent numeric atom-centered orbital (NAO) basis sets, NAO-VCC-nZ, the method is applied to produce accurate theoretical reference data for 22 bio-oriented weak interactions (S22), 11 conformational energies of gaseous cysteine conformers (CYCONF), and 32 Downloaded via FRITZ HABER INST DER MPI on January 8, 2021 at 22:13:06 (UTC).
