Nano-Hive Nanospace Simulator 1.1.0 Released


Nano-Hive is a free, scriptable, modular simulator specifically
intended as a tool for the study, experimentation, and development of
nanotech entities.

We're happy to announce that Nano-Hive version 1.1.0 for win32-x86 is
now available for download. *nix distros will be made available in the
coming weeks.

This release adds support for running multiple, multi-threaded
simulations simultaneously, each able to access multiple Physical
Interaction plugins.

We've also added new plugins!
* MPQC_SClib - This plugin encapsulates the functionality of the
Scientific Computing Toolkit (SC) used by the Massively Parallel
Quantum Chemistry Program (MPQC).
* OpenBabelImportExport - This Data Import/Export plugin adds the
ability to read and write many new file types by encapsulating the
OpenBabel library.
* SocketsControl - Control Nano-Hive via a TCP socket with this
Simulation Control plugin.
* BondCalculator - This Physical Interaction plugin discovers molecules
in the simulation space and specifies bonds to describe them.
* BasicCellTraverser - This Entity Traversal plugin divides the
simulation space up into sub-cells for multi-threaded calculation.

Also included in this release is an alpha version of the HiveKeeper
Graphical User Interface for Nano-Hive
(http://www.nano-hive.org/hivekeeper/). The capabilities of the alpha
version includes visualization of the molecular structures even while
the simulation is running.
