Hi everyone,
MD news for those who will be at SC15 in Austin. This year year there
will be also a workshop on molecular simulations with keynotes by Erik
Lindahl (GROMACS) and Jim Phillips (NAMD). The discussions on MD
development will be very interesting and highly recommended for those of
you who could make it to the conference and send an abstract for
participation.
Below is the full announcement with more info.
Cheers,
Rossen
<-- Abstract submission deadline extended to Friday October 9th (13:00
CDT / 19:00 BST) -->
This year's SC15 International Conference for High Performance
Computing, Networking,
Storage and Analysis features the following Workshop:
=====================================================================
Producing High-Performance and Sustainable Software for Molecular
Simulation
November 20th, 2015
Austin, Texas
=====================================================================
This workshop aims to bring together developers and users of molecular
simulation
software, experts in high-performance computing, and researchers of
numerical methods
and algorithms to discuss the challenge of creating and maintaining
high-performance
sustainable software for molecular simulation.
Invited Speakers
----------------------
o Prof. Erik Lindahl (GROMACS)
KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University
o James Phillips (Senior Research Programmer and NAMD Lead Developer)
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
Call for Abstracts
-----------------------
Abstracts are sought outlining proposed contributions (2-4 pages) to an
open access
workshop report / positional paper documenting state of the art
developments, current
bottlenecks, anticipated challenges, and priorities for future research
and funding
for molecular simulation software. Three of the accepted abstracts will
be selected
to give short talks at the workshop. The resulting joint paper will be
made available
online for free in an institutional repository in citable form with a
unique and
persistent location identifier.
The deadline for abstract submission is Friday October 9th (13:00 CDT /
19:00 BST)
Authors will be notified Wednesday October 14th to allow SC15 early
registration fee
to be obtained by registering on or before October 15th.
Abstracts can be submitted at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sc15molsimsoftware
We are especially seeking the following kinds of contributions:
o Hot topics: recent work with (potential for) high impact on
performance and / or
sustainability of molecular simulation software (e.g. algorithms,
forcefield models,
parallelisation schemes and use of programming models, software
development practices,
exploiting new hardware).
o Case studies: perspectives on achieving performance and / or
sustainability based
on experience in particular application areas, software development
initiatives,
etc. (e.g. interplay between optimisation and portability, analysis of
goals and
challenges, routes and barriers to success - technical, funding).
Suggested Topics:
Accelerators and heterogenous computing
Algorithms
Benchmarking and performance comparisons
Computational models
Data formats and interoperability of packages
Libraries and APIs
Numerical methods
Parallelisation strategies and load balancing
Portability
Software development practices and collaborative models
Testing
Workflows
