After setting up the test system, the inspeetor can fully concentrate on scanning the test zones. In the case of coupling failure, an acoustic alarm horn will sound and a visual alarm message will appear on the PC display.

Biological infonnation is also concerned witli tire analysis of biological messages and tlieir import. The fundamental premise of tire protein-folding problem section C2.14.2.2 is tliat tire full tliree-dimensional arrangement of tire protein molecule can be predicted, given only tire amino acid sequence, together witli tire solvent composition, temperature and pressure. One test of tire validity of tliis premise is to compare tire infonnation content of tire sequence witli tire infonnation contained in tire stmcture [169]. The fonner can be obtained from Shannon s fonnula ...

Our multipole code D-PMTA, the Distributed Parallel Multipole Tree Algorithm, is a message passing code which runs both on workstation clusters and on tightly coupled machines such as the Cray T3D/T3E [11]. Figure 3 shows the parallel performance of D-PMTA on a moderately large simulation on the Cray T3E the scalability is not affected by adding the macroscopic option. 

Avoiding Algorithmic Obfuscation in a Message-Driven Parallel MD Code... 

Two implementation decisions could be made immediately. First, DPMTA is based on the PVM message-passing library [11] and therefore it was necessary to base NAMD on PVM as well. All communication done by NAMD, however, would use an intermediate interface to allow communications to be easily retargeted to MPI [12] or other standards, and to simplify later implementation of communication optimizations such as combining messages destined for the same processor. Second, after much debate C++ was selected... 

Fig. 2. Patches divide the simulation space into a regular grid of cubes, each larger than the nonbonded cutoff. Interactions between atoms belonging to neighboring patches are calculated by one of the patches which receives a positions message (p) and returns a force message (f). Shades of gray indicate processors to which patches are assigned.

Fig. 5. Compute objects requiring off-node patches do not engage in off-node communication but rather interact with local proxy patches. When force evaluations are required the home patch sends positions messages (p) to its proxies and receives force messages (f) containing the results of off-node calculations. The proxy patch in this illustration exists on the same node as the compute object but represents the off-node home patch with which it communicates.

Moving responsibility for the force computation away from the patches required a move away from pure message-driven execution to dependency-driven execution in which patches control the data (atomic coordinates) needed for compute objects to execute. A compute object, upon creation, registers this dependency with those patches from which it needs data. The patch then triggers force calculation by notifying its dependent compute objects when the next timestep s data is available. Once a compute object has received notification from all of the patches it depends on, it is placed in a prioritized queue for eventual execution.

The fifth and final chapter, on Parallel Force Field Evaluation, takes account of the fact that the bulk of CPU time spent in MD simulations is required for evaluation of the force field. In the first paper, BOARD and his coworkers present a comparison of the performance of various parallel implementations of Ewald and multipole summations together with recommendations for their application. The second paper, by Phillips et AL., addresses the special problems associated with the design of parallel MD programs. Conflicting issues that shape the design of such codes are identified and the use of features such as multiple threads and message-driven execution is described. The final paper, by Okunbor Murty, compares three force decomposition techniques (the checkerboard partitioning method. 

Having settled on a definition of chemoinformatics, it is time for us to reflect on the distinction between chemoinformatics and bioinformatics. The objects of interest of bioinformatics are mainly genes and proteins. But genes, DNA and RNA, and proteins are chemical compounds They are objects of high interest in chemistry, Chemists have made substantial contributions to the elucidation of the structure and function of nucleic adds and proteins. The message is dear there is no clearcut distinction between bioinfonnatics and chemoinformatics I... 

As can be seen in Figure 5-17, some search fields (e.g., POW [= Power]) do not need any input in the search mask this means that all entries with any content of those Helds are retrieved. However, other fields always demand an input. In case the input is omitted (for example for the decadic logarithm of the partition coefficient), a corresponding error message results. Since the PCB are more soluble in the organic phase, the input of that Field is restricted to positive values.

Experience has shown that is better to obtain basis sets in electronic form than paper form since even slight errors in transposition will affect the calculation results. Some basis sets are included with most computer programs that require them. There is also a form page on the Web that allows a user to choose a basis and specify a format consistent with the input of several popular computational chemistry programs at http //www.emsl.pnl.gov 2080/forms/basisform.htm. The basis set is then sent to the user in the form of an e-mail message. 

Chem3D uses a MM2 force field that has been extended to cover the full periodic table with the exception of the /block elements. Unknown parameters will be estimated by the program and a message generated to inform the user of this. MM2 can be used for both energy minimization and molecular dynamics calculations. The user can add custom atom types or alter the parameters used... 

The ah initio module can run HF, MP2 (single point), and CIS calculations. A number of common basis sets are included. Some results, such as population analysis, are only written to the log file. One test calculation failed to achieve SCF convergence, but no messages indicating that fact were given. Thus, it is advisable to examine the iteration energies in the log file.
