Description |
|
| Want to learn how to quickly set up and run molecular dynamics (MD) simulations? Or are you a veteran to MD who wants to know how to obtain 100X speedups of MD code on GPUs?* Whatever your MD background, the free upcoming two-day OpenMM workshop promises to be an exciting, knowledge-filled opportunity, featuring experts from both molecular dynamics and the GPU industry. Day 1 of the workshop is geared towards MD developers and will discuss how MD code can be sped up on GPUs and in particular, with the new OpenMM 1.0 library. OpenMM is a freely downloadable, high performance, extensible library that allows MD simulations to run on high performance computer architectures, such as graphics processing units (GPUs). Day 2 of the workshop is for researchers interested in using MD in their research, including novices to MD. You will learn the theory behind MD and use the new OpenMM Zephyr application, which makes it easy to run and visualize MD simulations. The workshop will be held on February 12-13, 2009 at Stanford University. Registration is free but required and spaces are limited. You can sign up for one or both days.
