OOPSE is an open-source Object-Oriented Parallel Simulation Engine. |
| 4 |
It is primarily used to perform molecular dynamics simulations on |
| 5 |
"strange" atom types that are not normally handled by other simulation |
| 6 |
packages. This includes atoms with orientational degrees of freedom |
| 7 |
(point dipoles, sticky atoms), as well as transition metals under the |
| 8 |
Embedded Atom Method (EAM). |

|
| 10 |
Input files are handled using the (included) Bizarre Atom Simulation |
| 11 |
Syntax (BASS) library. |

What you need to compile and use OOPSE: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
1) Good C, C++ and Fortran95 compilers. We've built and tested OOPSE |
| 16 |
using version 8 of the Intel compilers (ifort, icpc and icc) on Linux |
| 17 |
machines. We also routinely build and test under Mac OS X using the |
| 18 |
IBM compilers (xlf95, vac++). OOPSE should build with g++ and gcc, |
| 19 |
but you'll still need a good fortran *95* compiler. Fortran77 and |
| 20 |
Fortran90 are *not* sufficient to compile OOPSE. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
2) MPI. We like MPICH. Other implementations might work, but we |
| 23 |
haven't tried. You can get MPICH here: |

|
| 26 |
3) The Scalable Parallel Random Number Generators Library (SPRNG). You |
| 27 |
can obtain SPRNG here: |

4) Assorted unix utilities (lexx, yacc, make) or their GNU equivalents. |

INSTRUCTIONS |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
1) Get, build, and test the required pieces above. |
| 35 |
2) ./configure |
| 36 |
3) make |
| 37 |
4) make install |

That's it. Documentation will be forthcoming after the paper is |

published. |
