Hi group!

Is there any to= ol that can calculate the heavy atom count of compounds given a multi-mol2 = file?

Thanks

EJ: electron-electr= on=0Arepulsion

This gaming gadget is Cell B.E. based - a platform that is gradually becoming mainstream for scientific applications. PS3's are producing a good portion of the data for the folding at home project, and the cell processors power the Roadrunner super computer at Los Alamos. The high performance of the cell is achieved via several factors: - The multiple processor core consists of 1 hyperthreaded Power Processing Element (PPE) plus 8 Synergetic Processing Elements (SPE), each of them with its own DMA controller unit and local fast memory on-die. - The SPEs are 128 bit vector processors with SIMD architecture using dual instruction pipes and are therefore capable of executing 8 floating point operations per clock cycle, each with 128x128bit registers and 256KB local store. The parallelization, the vector operations and the unique memory configuration give the programmer a lot of flexibility in distributing tasks and data between the processors. Obviously you can't simply recompile your code for the PS3 and expect significant (or any) acceleration, but proper porting will get you tremendous speedup. You can find more technical information here: http://www.simbiosys.ca/science/white_papers/eHiTS_on_the_Cell.pdf The result of porting eHiTS to the cell is a 11X speedup for the lowest accuracy mode on average as measured using a set of over 6500 complexes. This study ran on a PS3 vs. an Intel Pentium 4 3.00GHz. A similar speed comparison for higher accuracy modes will be completed in the coming days. The results will be published as a technical note on SimBioSys' website: http://www.simbiosys.ca/ehits/ehits_technical_notes.html Best regards, Orr On May 8, 2009 02:18:11 pm Gonalo C.

Also, there is a rudimentary python script that takes in MDL MOL files and spits out symmetric structures and symmetry-unique atoms in GAMESS-like XYZ format available at: http://www.chem.ucsb.edu/~kalju/chem226/public/pcgamess_tutorial_A2.html Let me know if you have any trouble, Kalju > Folks, > > I have a bunch of cartesian geometries that have "almost" C2 symmetry. > Graphical inspection says yhey should be C2 but the code I'm using won't > generate C2, even with large "out-of-symmetry" threshold values.
