In this chapter, I present and detail the capabilities of the open |

without the collaborative efforts of my colleagues: Charles |
| 24 |
|
F.~Vardeman II, Teng Lin, Christopher J.~Fennell and J.~Daniel |
| 25 |
|
Gezelter. Although my contributions to {\sc oopse} are major, |
| 26 |
|
consideration of my work apart from the others would not give a |
| 27 |
< |
complete description to the package's capabilities. As such, all |
| 27 |

complete description to the program's capabilities. As such, all |
| 28 |

contributions to {\sc oopse} to date are presented in this chapter. |

|
Despite their utility, problems with these packages arise when |
| 72 |
|
researchers try to develop techniques or energetic models that the |
| 73 |
< |
code was not originally designed to simulate. Examples of uncommonly |
| 74 |
< |
implemented techniques and energetics include; dipole-dipole |
| 75 |
< |
interactions, rigid body dynamics, and metallic embedded |
| 76 |
< |
potentials. When faced with these obstacles, a researcher must either |
| 77 |
< |
develop their own code or license and extend one of the commercial |
| 78 |
< |
packages. What we have elected to do, is develop a package of |
| 79 |
< |
simulation code capable of implementing the types of models upon which |
| 80 |
< |
our research is based. |

In developing {\sc oopse}, we have adhered to the precepts of Open |
| 82 |
|
Source development, and are releasing our source code with a |

|
each rigid body. In order to move between the space fixed and body |
| 173 |
|
fixed coordinate axes, parameters describing the orientation must be |
| 174 |
|
maintained for each rigid body. At a minimum, the rotation matrix |
| 175 |
< |
(\textbf{A}) can be described by the three Euler angles ($\phi, |
| 176 |

trigonometric operations involving $\phi, \theta,$ and |

performance enhancements, particularly for very small |

computationally than the simpler arithmetic quaternion |

shows an average 7\% increase in computation time using the DLM method |

in place of quaternions. This cost is more than justified when |

NPT algorithms attempt to maintain constant pressure in the system by |

coupling the volume of the system to a barostat. {\sc oopse} contains |

three different constant pressure algorithms. The first two, NPTi and |

NPTf have been shown to conserve a quantity that is, to within a |

Algorithmically simplest of the three methods is atomic decomposition |
| 2171 |
|
where N particles in a simulation are split among P processors for the |
| 2172 |
|
duration of the simulation. Computational cost scales as an optimal |
| 2173 |
< |
$O(N/P)$ for atomic decomposition. Unfortunately all processors must |
| 2174 |
< |
communicate positions and forces with all other processors at every |
| 2175 |
< |
force evaluation, leading communication costs to scale as an |
| 2176 |
< |
unfavorable $O(N)$, \emph{independent of the number of processors}. This |
| 2177 |
< |
communication bottleneck led to the development of spatial and force |
| 2178 |
< |
decomposition methods in which communication among processors scales |
| 2179 |
< |
much more favorably. Spatial or domain decomposition divides the |
| 2180 |
< |
physical spatial domain into 3D boxes in which each processor is |
| 2181 |
< |
responsible for calculation of forces and positions of particles |
| 2182 |
< |
located in its box. Particles are reassigned to different processors |
| 2183 |
< |
as they move through simulation space. To calculate forces on a given |
| 2184 |
< |
particle, a processor must know the positions of particles within some |
| 2185 |
< |
cutoff radius located on nearby processors instead of the positions of |
| 2186 |
< |
particles on all processors. Both communication between processors and |
| 2187 |
< |
computation scale as $O(N/P)$ in the spatial method. However, spatial |

$\mathcal{O}(N/P)$ for atomic decomposition. Unfortunately all |

| 2188 |

scale as $\mathcal{O}(N/P)$ in the spatial method. However, spatial |
| 2189 |
|
decomposition adds algorithmic complexity to the simulation code and |
| 2190 |
|
is not very efficient for small N since the overall communication |
| 2191 |
< |
scales as the surface to volume ratio $(N/P)^{2/3}$ in three |
| 2192 |
< |
dimensions. |

The parallelization method used in {\sc oopse} is the force |
| 2195 |
|
decomposition method. Force decomposition assigns particles to |
| 2198 |
|
and column processor groups. Forces are calculated on particles in a |
| 2199 |
|
given row by particles located in that processors column |
| 2200 |
|
assignment. Force decomposition is less complex to implement than the |
| 2201 |
< |
spatial method but still scales computationally as $O(N/P)$ and scales |
| 2202 |
< |
as $O(N/\sqrt{P})$ in communication cost. Plimpton has also found that |
| 2203 |
< |
force decompositions scale more favorably than spatial decompositions |
| 2204 |
< |
for systems up to 10,000 atoms and favorably compete with spatial |

methods up to 100,000 atoms.\cite{plimpton95} |

\texttt{dynamicProps} will calculate all of the time correlation frame |

pairs within the block. After in-block correlations are complete, a |
