Programming Credits

• Marcus Bannerman (2006-Present): DynamO was originally developed during Marcus' PhD, under the supervision of Dr Leo Lue and was funded through a EPSRC doctoral training award. From 2009 till 2011, this work continued during his Post-Doc at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in the research group of Prof. Thorsten Poeschel. Now Marcus is a lecturer at Aberdeen University and continues to orientate his research around DynamO and event driven simulators.
• Leo Lue (2006-Present): Provided a complete event driven code, histogram reweighting scripts and more which were used as references while DynamO was developed. Leo provides a great amount of theoretical/technical support and more recently implemented the MJ model for protein interactions.
• Robert Sargant (2008-2010): Rob started the work on asymmetric potentials with rotational degrees of freedom. He implemented the dynamics of lines and the essential root finder of Frenkel and Maguire among other improvements. He was also funded by the EPSRC.

Libraries and Source Code Used

• A templated vector and matrix class, provided by Ramses van Zon, is used as the basis for most vector operations.
• XML parsing uses RapidXML.
• XML writing uses a small class provided by Obolutus.
• Gtkmm, Cairo, FFMPEG and the boost libraries are some excellent open source libraries utilised within the code.
• The build system used to build DynamO is boost build.
• Bosco ho provided the reference script from which the RMSD calculations of polymer structures script is based.
• MinMax Heaps are based on an implementation provided by T. Wease.
• A small PNG library is used for saving snapshots and was provided by Severin Strobl.
• A big thank you to Michael R Sweet for creating fldiff, a program which makes it so easy to compare good and bad EDMD trajectories, its has saved hours of debugging in the scheduler code.
• Cédric Laugerotte's website was a great help for determining tesselations of spheres.
