We're happy to announce that Nano-Hive version 1.2.0 Beta 1 for win32-x86 is now
available for download. *nix distros will be made available in the coming weeks.
The main feature of this beta release is that Nano-Hive is now fully
distributable across computing networks (DC). Note that this release is not the
@home-style DC client - that client, based on the BOINC
(http://boinc.berkeley.edu/) platform, will be made available early 2006 - this
release is mainly for dedicated DC networks.
Other features of this release include:
- SocketsPIC_Control - This Distributed PIC Control plugin controls slave
Nano-Hive instances via sockets, and transfers work units to/from them via
FTP, or NFS.
- AIREBO - This Physical Interaction plugin employs the Adaptive
Intermolecular Reactive Empirical Bond Order (AIREBO) potential is an
extension of the REBO potential (used by the REBO_MBM plugin) that adds
non-bonded intermolecular interactions, and four-body torsional interaction.
- nanorexMMP_ImportExport - This Data Import/Export plugin handles
nanoENGINEER-1's MMP
file format. Along with this, the mmpShaft atom set type was introduced,
allowing nE-1 users to easily specify atom sets for use with Nano-Hive.
- Added linear force and rotary force activators to the pathing system.
These new activators provide a more realistic way to activate molecular
machines than the original constant velocity pathing mechanism (which still
has great value and still exists.)
- Added the BoxedSet simulation specification atom set descriptor for use in
pathing atoms and molecules. With this descriptor, the user can simply
specify two opposite points of a box and all the atoms inside become an atom
set.
- Switched threading, sockets, and mutexes from the Common C++ library to
the Netscape
Portable Runtime (NSPR) library, and added a homegrown StringTokenizer
class.
- Alpha 4 of the HiveKeeper Graphical User Interface for Nano-Hive is
included with this release. The new capabilities of this alpha version
include:
- Support for multiple local and remote Nano-Hive (N-H) instances
- A simulation summary tab for each N-H instance
- A Physical Interaction Calculator (PIC), ie, N-H slave instances
summary tab for each DC network
- A visualization recenter macro, vdW representation, and variable
playback speed for the simulation visualization frame
