Dear Amberites,
Sorry for the off topic posting but some of you may be interested in the
following Tutorial and Workshop that is being run at the University of
Edinburgh, UK from April 30th to May 4th 2012.
----------------------------
State-of-the-Art Algorithms for Molecular Dynamics
Tutorial: April 30-May 2, 2012; Workshop: May 2-4, 2012
Edinburgh, UK
Workshop: Molecular dynamics has been described as a computational
microscope, a versatile, high resolution method that can help to guide
experiment or explore detailed mechanisms of molecular motion. Applications
are wide ranging and include examples like the fracture or indentation of
materials, structural rearrangements in crystals, and the transport of ions
and small molecules through membranes. The evolution of computer hardware is
rapidly changing the subject, with new algorithms needed for graphics
processing units and hybrid computing architectures. The challenge is to
boost the time and spatial scales accessible in simulation, while
maintaining or improving accuracy in essential characteristics of the
systems under study. The workshop will explore a range of new types of
methods for accelerating molecular dynamics and for expanding its range of
application.
Invited Speakers: Peter Coveney (UCL, London), Ron Elber (Texas), Martyn
Guest (Cardiff), Charles Laughton (Nottingham), Erik Lindahl (Stockholm),
Davide Marenduzzo (Edinburgh), Glenn Martyna (IBM Watson), Julien Michel
(Edinburgh), Mike Payne (Cambridge), Ross Walker (San Diego), Claudio
Zannoni (Bologna)
Tutorial: The tutorial is organized by Berk Hess (KTH, Stockholm) involved
with the Gromacs project, and David Hardy (University of Illinois) from the
NAMD project, with additional lecturers providing talks on special topics.
The tutorial will address a variety of topics related to developing software
for molecular dynamics in the HPC environment, including GPU computing and
other current topics. The tutorial is intended for PhD students and other
researchers who are either working in computational molecular science
(interpreted broadly) or in high performance computing. The tutorial has
strictly limited attendance due to space constraints.
