Lightweight object oriented structure analysis: Tools for building tools to analyze molecular dynamics simulations

LOOS (Lightweight Object Oriented Structure-analysis) is a C++ library designed to facilitate making novel tools for analyzing molecular dynamics simulations by abstracting out the repetitive tasks, allowing developers to focus on the scientifically relevant part of the problem. LOOS supports input using the native file formats of most common biomolecular simulation packages, including CHARMM, ...

A Framework for Lightweight Object-Oriented Design Tools∗

Teaching object-oriented software engineering and design with industrial tools is not always satisfying, since the focus of these tools lies on development rather than education. In this paper we present a family of graphical tools for object oriented design devoted explicitely to teaching. They are built upon a common framework and a metamodel approach.

A Lightweight Library for Building Scalable Tools

MRNet is a software-based multicast reduction network for building scalable tools. Tools face communication and computation issues when used on large systems; MRNet alleviates these issues by providing multicast communication and data aggregation functionalities. Until now, the MRNet API has been entirely in C++. We present a new, lightweight library that provides a C interface for MRNet back-e...
