NCSI: Parallel and Cluster Computing, with an emphasis on Biology and Chemistry

Completed
Parallel and Cluster Computing, with an emphasis on Biology and Chemistry
First Look — 2007
This workshop will begin with an emphasis on parallel and cluster computing in an educational setting as well as teaching issues in parallel computing. Examples suitable for classroom use will be presented, including both simple codes that can be made available for student modification and more complex examples that use state of the art open source community codes. Participants will learn about the use of the Bootable Cluster CD computing environment, and will receive copies of the BCCD software for their use. Current protocols for parallel programming will be covered. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to be introduced to computational biology and computational chemistry tools and resources. Participants will be introduced to dynamic modeling, bioinformatics, simulation, molecular modeling, mathematical software and visualization. Participants new to computational science are encouraged to attend. Also, prior participants are encouraged to apply.
