SimTK Core is one of the two packages that together constitute SimTK, the biosimulation toolkit from the Simbios Center. The other major component of SimTK is OpenMM which is packaged separately. This SimTK Core project collects together all the binaries needed for the various SimTK Core subprojects. These include Simbody, Molmodel, Simmath (including Ipopt), Simmatrix, CPodes, SimTKcommon, and Lapack. See the individual projects for descriptions. SimTK brings together in a robust, convenient, open source form the collection of highly-specialized technologies necessary to building successful physics-based simulations of biological structures. These include: strict adherence to an important set of abstractions and guiding principles, robust, high-performance numerical methods, support for developing and sharing physics-based models, and careful software engineering. Accessible High Performance Computing We believe that a primary concern of simulation scientists is performance, that is, speed of computation. We seek to build valid, approximate models using classical physics in order to achieve reasonable run times for our computational studies, so that we can hope to learn something interesting before retirement. In the choice of SimTK technologies, we are focused on achieving the best possible performance on hardware that most researchers actually have. In today''s practice, that means commodity multiprocessors and small clusters. The difference in performance between the best methods and the do-it-yourself techniques most people use can be astoundingeasily an order of magnitude or more. The growing set of SimTK Core libraries seeks to provide the best implementation of the best-known methods for widely used computations such as: Linear algebra, numerical integration and Monte Carlo sampling, multibody (internal coordinate) dynamics, molecular force field evaluation, nonlinear root finding and optimization. All SimTK Core software is in the form of C++ APIs, is thread-safe, and quietly exploits multiple CPUs when they are present. The resulting pre-built binaries are available for download and immediate use. Audience: Biosimulation application programmers interested in including robust, high-performance physics-based simulation in their domain-specific applications.

http://www.psb.ugent.be/esb/PiNGO/

A Java-based tool to easily find unknown genes in a network that are significantly associated with user-defined target Gene Ontology (GO) categories. PiNGO is implemented as a plugin for Cytoscape, a popular open source software platform for visualizing and integrating molecular interaction networks. PiNGO predicts the categorization of a gene based on the annotations of its neighbors, using the enrichment statistics of its sister tool BiNGO. Networks can either be selected from the Cytoscape interface or uploaded from file. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/SamSPECTRAL.html

Software that identifies cell population in flow cytometry data. It demonstrates significant advantages in proper identification of populations with non-elliptical shapes, low density populations close to dense ones, minor subpopulations of a major population and rare populations. It samples large data such that spectral clustering is possible while preserving density information in edge weights. More specifically, given a matrix of coordinates as input, SamSPECTRAL first builds the communities to sample the data points. Then, it builds a graph and after weighting the edges by conductance computation, the graph is passed to a classic spectral clustering algorithm to find the spectral clusters. The last stage of SamSPECTRAL is to combine the spectral clusters. The resulting connected components estimate biological cell populations in the data sample.
