This workshop is intended for intermediate and expert parallel programmers who are actively involved in research that will benefit from the topics presented. The planned session titles are: - Multigrid Methods - Object-Oriented Methods for the Solution of Partial Differential Equations - A Parallel Partial Differential Equation Solver for Fluid Dynamics Computations - Special Topics in HPF Programming - Domain Decomposition and Parallel Code Optimization - Quantum Monte Carlo Methods for Continuum Systems - Data Explorer for Scientific Visualization - Iterative Methods For more information on this workshop and access to the registration form, please see http://www.tc.cornell.edu/Events/Advanced.Aug96/ From owner-chemistry@ccl.net Thu Jun 20 14:55:21 1996 Received: from bedrock.ccl.net for owner-chemistry@ccl.net by www.ccl.net (8.7.5/950822.1) id OAA16809; Thu, 20 Jun 1996 14:49:14 -0400 (EDT) Received: from theory.tc.cornell.edu for jeanne@tc.cornell.edu by bedrock.ccl.net (8.7.5/950822.1) id OAA05545; Thu, 20 Jun 1996 14:49:11 -0400 (EDT) Received: from [128.84.181.75] (JEANNE.TC.CORNELL.EDU [128.84.181.75]) by theory.tc.cornell.edu (8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id OAA63709; Thu, 20 Jun 1996 14:40:31 -0400 Date: Thu, 20 Jun 1996 14:40:31 -0400 Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: jeanne@TC.Cornell.EDU From: jeanne@TC.Cornell.EDU (Jeanne C.

A mix of software for electronic structure calculations and software for molecular dynamics modeling will be presented by the developers. There will be time for hands-on work with each code using the CTC's 512-processor IBM SP. This workshop will emphasize choosing the right software package for your application problem and using it effectively. Participants are expected to have some background theoretical knowledge of molecular mechanics, ab initio molecular orbital theory, and semi-empirical methods; prior experience with UNIX is highly desirable. The speakers Doug Fox, Gaussian, Inc.: Gaussian 94 Mark Gordon, Iowa State University: GAMESS Byron Lengsfield, IBM Almaden Research Center: Mulliken Rich Friesner, Columbia University & Schroedinger, Inc.: PS-GVB Akbar Nayeem, Tripos, Inc.: SYBYL Ping Yip, Molecular Simulations, Inc.: Discover, Insight, Affinity Who should attend ---------------------- This workshop is appropriate for faculty, postdocs, and graduate students interested in molecular modeling and electronic structure calculations. Professionals in the pharmaceutical, biomedical, and chemical industries may wish to attend. Although several of the codes run in parallel on the SP, no prior knowledge of parallel processing is required for this workshop. The facilities --------------- One half-day session will be devoted to each software package. Each talk will be followed by a hands-on session in CTC's training facility, giving all participants a chance to work with the software with help from the developer and CTC staff. The training facility is equipped with 44 IBM RS/6000 workstations and 12 SGI Indys.
