archimedes

archimedes is a 2D Quantum Monte Carlo simulator for semiconductor devices. New features for Fedora 17 include:

  • Quantum Effective Potential modified
  • Bohm Potential Model implemented
  • Calibrated Bohm Model implemented
  • Density Gradient corrected and tested
  • Full effective potential model implemented
  • New tests created
  • Parabolic, Kane and Full band checked
  • Full band Parameters for all materials
  • Scattering phonons can be set to ON and OFF
  • Support to Full Band approach


gnome-chemistry-utils

gnome-chemistry-utils has been updated to the latest development release.

Changes include:

  • GChem3d:
    • Import from InChI or SMILES.
    • Export to GChemPaint and GChemCalc.
    • Generates InChI, InChiKey and SMILES.
    • Add access to databases.
  • GChemPaint:
    • Brackets inside a molecule accept a stoichiometry coefficient.
  • GCrystal:
    • Use multiple selection in atoms and lines dialogs.
  • GSpectrum:
    • Allow markup in combo boxes and axes titles.
  • Goffice component:
    • Add support for crystal structures.


gnuplot

In addition to a number of bug fixes, gnuplot 4.4.4 includes:

  • boxxyerrors plot style now allows variable color
  • splot with pm3d now allows variable rgb color
  • "nonuniform matrix" indicates ascii data with explicit x, y
  • columnhead(N) is a string-valued function, not a keyword
  • Demarcate plots in svg output using <g id="Plot_#"><title>...
  • xticlabels() works for binary data files as well as ascii
  • "set key maxrows" now applies to 3D plots as well as 2D


lapack

lapack has been updated to 3.4.0,

  • xGEQRT: QR factorization (improved interface). xGEQRT is analogous to xGEQRF with a modified interface which enables better performance when the blocked reflectors need to be reused. The companion subroutines xGEMQRT apply the reflectors.
  • xGEQRT3: recursive QR factorization. The recursive QR factorization enables cache-oblivious and enables high performance on tall and skinny matrices.
  • xTPQRT: Communication-Avoiding QR sequential kernels. These subroutines are useful for updating a QR factorization and are used in sequential and parallel Communication Avoiding QR. These subroutines support the general case Triangle on top of Pentagon which includes as special cases so-called Triangle on top of Triangle and Triangle on top of Square. This is the right-looking version of the subroutines and the subroutines are blocked. The T matrices and the block size are part of the interface. The companion subroutines xTPMQRT apply the reflectors.
  • LAPACKE - Standard C language APIs for LAPACK. Since LAPACK 3.3.0, LAPACK includes new C interfaces. With the LAPACK 3.4.0 release, LAPACKE is directly integrated within the LAPACK library and has been enriched by the full set of LAPACK subroutines.

R

The statistics package R has been updated to December Snowflakes. Key changes include:

  • NEW FEATURES:
    • Reference classes now keep a record of which fields are locked. $lock() with no arguments returns the names of the locked fields.
    • HoltWinters() reports a warning rather than an error for some optimization failures (where the answer might be a reasonable one).
    • tools::dependsOnPkg() now accepts the shorthand dependencies = "all".
    • parallel::clusterExport() now allows specification of an environment from which to export.
    • tempfile() on a Unix-alike now takes the process ID into account. This is needed with multicore (and as part of parallel) because the parent and all the children share a session temporary directory, and they can share the C random number stream used to produce the uniaue part. Further, two children can call tempfile() simultaneously.
    • Option print in Sweave's RweaveLatex() driver now emulates auto-printing rather than printing (which can differ for an S4 object by calling show() rather than print()).
    • filled.contour() now accepts infinite values: previously it might have generated invalid graphics files (e.g. containing NaN values).
  • PACKAGE INSTALLATION:
    • R CMD INSTALL will now do a test load for all sub-architectures for which code was compiled (rather than just the primary sub-architecture).
  • UTILITIES:
    • When checking examples under more than one sub-architecture, R CMD check now uses a separate directory examples_arch for each sub-architecture, and leaves the output in file pkgname-Ex_arch.Rout. Some packages expect their examples to be run in a clean directory ....
