eOn joined the BOINC network in September 2010 and ran until it was retired in May 2014. The underlying EON research code, distinct from the retired volunteer computing project, continues to be developed and used within the [[wikipedia:computational chemistry|computational chemistry]] community.

== History ==

=== Origins ===
The EON software grew out of long-running work in the Henkelman group (University of Texas at Austin) and the Jónsson group (then at the University of Iceland) on methods for simulating rare-event dynamics in solids, building on the [[wikipedia:dimer method|dimer method]] the two researchers had developed for locating [[wikipedia:saddle point|saddle points]] on potential energy surfaces without needing a known final state.<ref name="dimer1999">Henkelman, Graeme, Hannes Jónsson. [https://henkelmanlab.org/pubs/henkelman99_7010.pdf A dimer method for finding saddle points on high dimensional potential surfaces using only first derivatives]. ''The Journal of Chemical Physics'' 111(15), 7010 (1999). {{DOI|10.1063/1.480097}}.</ref> Before it was ported to BOINC, the group ran an earlier, home-built distributed computing system under the name eOn; forum members reported that the "old eOn client application" was subsequently rebuilt on BOINC's client/server architecture as eOn2, with the intention of later adding dynamics trajectories and ''[[wikipedia:ab initio quantum chemistry methods|ab initio]]'' ([[wikipedia:density functional theory|density functional theory]]) work units.<ref name="welcome-eon2">Welcome to the world, eOn2. UT theoretical chemistry code forum. Posted September 2010.</ref> For a time two separate project addresses existed, one on the group's older ''cm.utexas.edu'' domain and one on ''ices.utexas.edu''; volunteers were directed to the ICES address as the project's active server.<ref name="two-eon-sites">Two eon web sites. UT theoretical chemistry code forum. Posted 22 November 2011.</ref>

=== Launch on BOINC ===
eOn was announced as a new BOINC project on 7 September 2010 by [[wikipedia:David P. Anderson|David P. Anderson]], describing it as a study of "the dynamic simulation of physical and chemical processes over a time scale which is much longer than can be reached with traditional molecular dynamics."<ref name="boinc-launch">Anderson, David P. New project: eOn. BOINC News forum, message 34564. Posted 7 September 2010.</ref> Because the generation of new work units depended on the results already returned by earlier ones, eOn could typically only keep a handful of tasks in flight on any one host at a time, a workflow characteristic of its [[#Scientific method|adaptive kinetic Monte Carlo]] approach.<ref name="wiki-eon" />

Early participants reported a bumpy rollout, including client crashes on Mac OS X and complaints about long-running, unchecked work units, alongside genuine enthusiasm from teams that had followed the Henkelman group's earlier, non-BOINC eOn effort.<ref name="boinc-launch" /><ref name="eonclient400">eOn Client 4.00. UT theoretical chemistry code forum. Posted February 2012.</ref>

[[File:UT Tower, University of Texas in Austin.jpg|thumb|The University of Texas at Austin, home to the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, where eOn was developed and hosted.]]

== Scientific method ==
eOn's simulations targeted ''rare event'' systems, ones in which the interesting physics, such as [[wikipedia:diffusion|diffusion]] in solids or [[wikipedia:chemical reaction|chemical reactions]] at surfaces, consists of infrequent transitions between long-lived stable states, separated by fast atomic vibrations that are many orders of magnitude quicker than the transitions themselves. A direct [[wikipedia:molecular dynamics|molecular dynamics]] simulation tracking every vibration would need to run for a computationally unreasonable length of time before a single event of interest occurred.<ref name="ltd-docs">EON: Long Timescale Dynamics. Henkelman Research Group documentation. henkelmanlab.org/research/ltd/.</ref>

To get around this, EON combines transition state theory with kinetic Monte Carlo in an approach called adaptive kinetic Monte Carlo (aKMC). Rather than drawing transition rates from a predefined table of possible events, aKMC discovers the available transitions on the fly by searching for first-order saddle points around the current state.<ref name="akmc-docs">Adaptive kinetic Monte Carlo. EON documentation. henkelmanlab.org/eon/akmc.html.</ref> Under the harmonic approximation to transition state theory, the rate of an individual transition takes the Arrhenius-like form

<math>k = \nu \, e^{-\Delta E_a / k_B T}</math>

where <math>\Delta E_a</math> is the energy barrier between the initial minimum and the saddle point, <math>T</math> is the temperature, <math>k_B</math> is the [[wikipedia:Boltzmann constant|Boltzmann constant]], and the prefactor <math>\nu</math> is calculated from the [[wikipedia:normal mode|vibrational modes]] at the minimum and the saddle point.<ref name="akmc-docs" />

Saddle points themselves were located with the dimer method, in which two closely spaced replicas of the system ("the dimer") are used to estimate the direction of lowest curvature on the potential energy surface using only first derivatives of the energy, avoiding the cost of computing a full [[wikipedia:Hessian matrix|Hessian]]:

<math>\mathbf{R}_{1,2} = \mathbf{R}_0 \pm \Delta R\,\hat{N}</math>

The dimer is rotated to align with this minimum mode and then walked uphill along it until it converges on a saddle point.<ref name="dimer1999" /> Besides aKMC, the EON software also implemented [[wikipedia:parallel replica dynamics|parallel replica dynamics]], [[wikipedia:hyperdynamics|hyperdynamics]], and global optimization methods including [[wikipedia:simulated annealing|simulated annealing]], [[wikipedia:basin hopping|basin hopping]], and minima hopping.<ref name="wiki-eon" />

[[File:Potential Energy Surface and Corresponding Reaction Coordinate Diagram.png|thumb|A potential energy surface with a saddle point separating two minima, the kind of feature EON's dimer method searches for.]]

== Software architecture ==
EON used a client/server design: computationally intensive force and energy evaluations ran on volunteer client machines, while a central server managed the overall state-to-state evolution of the simulation, for example driving the kinetic Monte Carlo bookkeeping in aKMC runs. The server was written in [[wikipedia:Python (programming language)|Python]] and the client in [[wikipedia:C++|C++]], the latter chosen so that a self-contained compiled executable could be distributed easily to volunteers.<ref name="wiki-eon" /> Beyond BOINC, the same codebase could also run on a single workstation, on cluster queuing systems, and on large parallel machines via [[wikipedia:Message Passing Interface|MPI]].<ref name="ltd-docs" /> The code was released under version 3 of the [[wikipedia:GNU General Public License|GNU General Public License]].<ref name="wiki-eon" />

== Discontinuation ==
On 26 May 2014, the eOn team posted to the BOINC forums that the project was being retired from the BOINC network.<ref name="discontinuation">Announcement that the eOn project has been discontinued. BOINC Forums, thread 9281. {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714231802/http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=9281|date=14 July 2014}}.</ref> Volunteer forums reported that the eOn server was taken offline shortly afterward, with one community post noting that it had been "retired" with little fanfare and that "the server has been switched off already."<ref name="tsbt-retired">eOn retired. The Scottish BOINC Team forum. May 2014.</ref> A follow-up post from the project team described the decision as a practical one: the project had been useful but had become increasingly cumbersome to maintain relative to the group's other computational resources.<ref name="tsbt-retired" />

== Legacy ==
The retirement of the BOINC-facing eOn2 project did not end development of the underlying EON software. Around 2018, the codebase was relicensed from GPL-3.0 to the [[wikipedia:BSD licenses|BSD 3-Clause license]] so that it could be incorporated into the Amsterdam Modeling Suite, a commercial computational chemistry platform.<ref name="goswami-blog">Goswami, Rohit. [https://rgoswami.me/posts/eon-acad-foss/ Reconciling eOn for Academia and Open Source]. Personal blog. Retrieved 2026.</ref> From 2019 onward, the code was migrated from its original Subversion repository to GitHub, and it continues to be maintained as an open-source research code, including a Gaussian process-accelerated dimer method contributed as part of doctoral work associated with the University of Iceland.<ref name="goswami-blog" /> This ongoing development is separate from the discontinued volunteer computing project and does not distribute work to BOINC volunteers.
