HyperChem 4.5 for SGI
Based on established computational chemistry methods, HyperChem unites sophisticated chemistry with ease of use. It allows scientists who are new to modeling to benefit from the technology, and for experienced modelers HyperChem offers a comprehensive, integrated set of tools for studying and predicting molecular properties.
Running on IRIX 5.2 or 5.3 based SGI workstations, HyperChem is an affordable tool that makes computer simulation more accessible to researchers and to educators.
HyperChem can provide valuable insight into molecular structure, flexibility, and properties. You can compute heats of formation, ionization potentials, electron affinities, dipole moments, as well as UV-visible and IR spectra.

Our most important product is HyperChem, noted for its ease of use, extensive functionality, and modest price. Our most important platform, besides SGI, is Microsoft Windows; HyperChem, on a PC under Windows, has the largest number of installations of any full-featured molecular modeling program.
Hypercube, Inc. has set new standards for ease of use and molecular modeling power on PC-based and SGI systems. Our goal is to bring molecular modeling to tens of thousands of new users.

An earlier version of HyperChem, Release 2 for SGI, was previously marketed by Autodesk, Inc. through an exclusive agreement with Hypercube, Inc., but was removed from the market in 1993 in conjunction with Autodesk exiting the scientific software business. Hypercube's software is now marketed directly by Hypercube, Inc. and sold through a channel of distributors and dealers. "We are very pleased to be able to bring the improved SGI version to the market." said Dr. Neil S. Ostlund, President and CEO of Hypercube, Inc., "SGI machines constitute an important platform for molecular modeling; we want to support that platform and continue doing so. Now, all the users of Release 2 can easily upgrade to 4.5. We even have a special pricing for our old users."
HyperChem Release 4.5 for SGI has all the features of Release 2 for SGI plus essentially all the new functionality that has been added to HyperChem since its first introduction in 1992. "It's a pleasure to have all the functionality and simplicity of the HyperChem user interface and be able to do molecular modeling on a powerful UNIX workstation", said Michael Moller, Hypercube's UNIX specialist. These new features beyond Release 2 include vibrational analysis and IR spectroscopy, configuration interaction and UV Visible spectroscopy, ZINDO methods for transition metals, display of orbital energy diagrams, mixed molecular mechanics / quantum mechanics calculations, stereochemical constraints, ribbon display of macromolecules, restraining forces, and interactive setting of velocities for exploring chemical reactions. In addition, many improvements have been made to the basic functionality, such as to the model builder. Extensions have also been made to the basic functionality to include more inorganic-like systems and elements later in the periodic table. Finally, the SGI version includes all the ab initio methodology that Hypercube introduced into its new Release 4.5 of HyperChem for Windows. "HyperChem now has ab initio quantum mechanics for smaller systems, semi-empirical quantum mechanics for intermedite systems, and molecular mechanics for large systems," said Yufei Guo, the principal developer of the ab initio package, "And what is more important, HyperChem has mixed molecular mechanics / quantum mechanics calculations."
Hypercube had earlier introduced a client-server version of HyperChem that supported machines from SGI as computational servers connected to a network of PCs, where the desktop PC provides interaction and visualization. That is, the "back ends" of HyperChem were available for SGI platforms while the "front end" ran on a PC. The new SGI version of HyperChem adds an SGI front end to the total network picture. The earlier back end servers still remain available and are now augmented by a new ab initio UNIX back end, HyperGauss.
The commercial price of a one-license Release 4.5 of HyperChem for SGI is $2595 while the government and academic price is $1295. There is a special upgrade price from Release 2 to Relase 4.5 till the end of the year (12/31/95) for only $595 (government and education - $295). Volume discounts and site-licenses are available.
