AMBER

AMBER (an acronym for Assisted Model Building with Energy Refinement) is a family of force fields for molecular dynamics of biomolecules originally developed by Peter Kollman's group at the University of California, San Francisco. AMBER is also the name for the molecular dynamics software package that simulates these force fields. It is maintained by an active collaboration between David Case at Rutgers University, Tom Cheatham at the University of Utah, Tom Darden at NIEHS, Ken Merz at Michigan State University, Carlos Simmerling at Stony Brook University, Ray Luo at UC Irvine, and Junmei Wang at Encysive Pharmaceuticals.

Force field

The term "AMBER force field" generally refers to the functional form used by the family of AMBER force fields. This form includes a number of parameters; each member of the family of AMBER force fields provides values for these parameters and has its own name.

Functional form

The functional form of the AMBER force field is

Note that despite the term force field, this equation defines the potential energy of the system; the force is the derivative of this potential with respect to position.

Waigeo language

Waigeo, also known as Ambel (Amber), is a heavily Papuan-influenced Austronesian language spoken in West Papua on the island of Waigeo, Raja Ampat islands.

Amber (processor core)

The Amber processor core is an open-source ARM-compatible 32-bit RISC processor. It is hosted on the OpenCores website and is part of a movement to develop a library of open source hardware intellectual property. The Amber core is fully compatible with the ARMv2 instruction set and is therefore supported by the GNU toolchain. This older version of the ARM instruction set is supported because it is not covered by patents so can be implemented without a license from ARM Holdings, unlike some previous open source projects. The Amber project provides a complete embedded FPGA system incorporating the Amber core and a number of peripherals, including UARTs, timers and an Ethernet MAC.

There are two versions of the core provided in the Amber project. The Amber 23 has a 3-stage pipeline, a unified instruction and data cache, a Wishbone interface, and is capable of 0.75 DMIPS per MHz. The Amber 25 has a 5-stage pipeline, separate data and instruction caches, a Wishbone interface, and is capable of 1.0 DMIPS per MHz. Both cores implement exactly the same ISA and are 100% software compatible.

Glo (band)

Glo is a Canadian alternative rock band from Montreal formed in 2001. They consist of Riccardo "Rick" Cordi (vocals, guitars), Eddie Mazzola (guitar, bass, keyboards), and Patrick Rowan (drums).

Their self-titled debut received favorable reviews and spawned the single ‘Wither’ which appeared on the soundtrack for the TV series Higher Ground. Soon after the release of Glo, they were invited to perform at NXNE in Toronto, Canada and the ‘In the City’ music festival in Manchester, England.

After taking a brief hiatus to refuel the creative juices, Glo released their highly anticipated follow-up ‘Off to the Races Vol. 1’, in early 2007. The EP – with its socially conscious lyrics and harder-edge sound – marked an exciting departure for the modern rock band. Soon after its release, the material began getting regular airplay in stations across Canada. With momentum building and a growing fan base, Glo quickly began work on a new full-length studio album. On the Outside was released in 2010 through the GloMusicGroup. While the album was completed in 2009, the band was dissatisfied with the production and decided to turn to veteran produced Paul Lani (U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Megadeth) for the final mix. The album was officially launched in 2010, and the first single from the new disc, "Move Along", stayed on the Canadian Active Rock charts for 12 weeks, peaking at number 41.

Glöð

Glöð ("glowing embers"; sometimes anglicized as Glod) is a legendary queen who figures in the Norse Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar.

She is a daughter of Grímr of Grímsgarðr in Jötunheimr and his wife Alvör, the sister of King Álf the Old of Álfheimr. She is also the wife of Logi, also referred to as Háloge, with whom she had two daughters, Eysa or Eisa ("glowing embers") and Eimyrja ("embers").

Glöð is sometimes wrongly ascribed to Loki rather than Logi.
