Crystal structure prediction of flexible molecules using parallel genetic algorithms with a standard force field
This article describes the application of our distributed computing framework for crystal structure prediction (CSP) the modified genetic algorithms for crystal and cluster prediction (MGAC), to predict the crystal structure of flexible molecules using the general Amber force field (GAFF) and the CHARMM program. The MGAC distributed computing framework includes a series of tightly integrated co...
متن کاملAb Initio Crystal Structure Prediction for Flexible Molecules
A three-stage lattice energy minimisation methodology is reported for the identification of stable crystal structures containing flexible molecules. The accuracy of the approach is improved from stage to stage by using increasingly accurate models, first by substituting an atomic charge model with a distributed multipole model computed from the isolated-molecule charge density, and then by allo...
متن کاملValidation of a search technique for crystal structure prediction of flexible molecules by application to piracetam.
A new approach to the crystal structure prediction of flexible molecules is presented. It is applied to piracetam, whose conformational polymorphs exhibit a variety of hydrogen-bond motifs but lack the intramolecular hydrogen bond found in the gas-phase ab initio optimized conformer. Stable crystal packing can result when favourable intermolecular interactions are made possible when the molecul...
متن کاملThe Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of a Reentry Vehicle Using Parallel Genetic Algorithms
The purpose of this paper is to examine the multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of a reentry vehicle. In this paper, optimization of a RV based on, minimization of heat flux integral and minimization of axial force coefficient integral and maximization of static margin integral along reentry trajectory is carried out. The classic optimization methods are not applicable here due to the c...
متن کاملImplementing Fast and Flexible Parallel Genetic Algorithms
As genetic algorithms (GAs) are used to solve harder problems, it is becoming necessary to use better algorithms and more eecient implementations to reach good solutions fast. This chapter describes the implementation of master-slave and multiple-population parallel GAs. The goal of the chapter is to help others to implement their own parallel codes. To this eeect, the text discusses some of th...
