BioSimSpace.Process.Somd

class BioSimSpace.Process.Somd(system, protocol, exe=None, name='somd', platform='CPU', work_dir=None, seed=None, property_map={})

A class for running simulations using SOMD.

__init__(system, protocol, exe=None, name='somd', platform='CPU', work_dir=None, seed=None, property_map={})

Constructor.

Parameters
  • system (System) – The molecular system.

  • protocol (Protocol) – The protocol for the SOMD process.

  • exe (str) – The full path to the SOMD executable.

  • name (str) – The name of the process.

  • platform (str) – The platform for the simulation: “CPU”, “CUDA”, or “OPENCL”.

  • work_dir – The working directory for the process.

  • seed (int) – A random number seed. Note that SOMD only uses a seed for FreeEnergy protocols. The seed should only be used for debugging purposes since SOMD uses the same seed for each Monte Carlo cycle.

  • property_map (dict) – A dictionary that maps system “properties” to their user defined values. This allows the user to refer to properties with their own naming scheme, e.g. { “charge” : “my-charge” }
