NAME

HackaMol::X::Calculator - Abstract calculator class for HackaMol

VERSION

version 0.00_6

SYNOPSIS

use Modern::Perl;
use HackaMol;
use HackaMol::X::Calculator;
use Path::Tiny;

my $path = shift || die "pass path to gaussian outputs";

my $hack = HackaMol->new( data => $path, );

foreach my $out ( $hack->data->children(qr/\.out$/) ) {

    my $Calc = HackaMol::X::Calculator->new(
        out_fn  => $out,
        map_out => \&output_map,
    );

    my $energy = $Calc->map_output(627.51);

    printf( "%-40s: %10.6f\n", $Calc->out_fn->basename, $energy );

}

#  our function to map molec info from output

sub output_map {
    my $calc = shift;
    my $conv = shift;
    my $out  = $calc->out_fn->slurp;
    $out =~ m /SCF Done:.*(-\d+.\d+)/;
    return ( $1 * $conv );
}

DESCRIPTION

The HackaMol::X::Calculator extension generalizes molecular calculations using external programs. The Calculator class consumes the HackaMol::X::ExtensionRole role, which manage the running of executables... perhaps on files; perhaps in directories. This extension is intended to provide a simple example of interfaces with external programs. This is a barebones use of the ExtensionRole that is intended to be flexible. See the examples and testing directory for use of the map_in and map_out functions inside and outside of the map_input and map_output functions. Extensions with more rigid and encapsulated APIs can evolve from this starting point. In the synopsis, a Gaussian output is processed for the SCF Done value (a classic scripting of problem computational chemists). See the examples and tests to learn how the calculator can be used to:

1. generate inputs 
2. run programs
3. process outputs

via interactions with HackaMol objects.

ATTRIBUTES

scratch

If scratch is set, the object will build that directory if needed. See HackaMol::PathRole for more information about the scratch attribute.
