DESCRIPTION: \n\nDescription:\nThis course is designed for those users who
  wish run classical molecular dynamics programs such as GROMACS and NAMD o
 n modern supercomputers. By understanding better the HPC infrastructures a
 nd the algorithms used to exploit them\, the aim is to give researchers th
 e tools to run simulations in the most efficient way possible on current a
 nd future supercomputers.\nThe course will consist of presentations and pr
 actical sessions where students will be able to prepare and run examples o
 f popular programs such as GROMACS and NAMD on the supercomputers of Cinec
 a.\n\nSkills:\nBy the end of the course each student should be able to:\n\
 n\n	comprehend the basic principles of classical molecular dynamics (MD).\
 n	understand the common algorithms for the optimization and parallelizatio
 n of MD applications and the factors limiting the performance and parallel
  scaling.\n	run and optimize MD simulations on advanced\, multicore archit
 ectures equipped with both conventional processors and accelerators such a
 s NVIDIA GPUs.\n	design a simulation project for a computing resource appl
 ication.\n	Target Audience:\n	Scientists with research interests in classi
 cal molecular dynamics in computational biology\, chemistry or biophysics.
 \n\n\nPre-requisites:\nResearch interest in classical molecular dynamics w
 ith a focus on the simulation of biomolecular systems. Basic knowledge of 
 UNIX and concepts of parallel computing.\n\n\nGrant:\n\nA grant of 300 EUR
  (for foreign students) and 150 EUR (for Italian students) will be availab
 le for participants not funded by their institution and not working in the
  Bologna area.\nSome documentation will be required and the grant will be 
 paid only after a certified presence of minimum 80% of the lessons and abo
 ut 1 month after the ending of the course.\nFor further information about 
 how to submit for the grant\, please wait the confirmation email that you 
 are accepted to the course about 3 weeks before the date of the beginning 
 of the lessons. \n\nThe lunch for the 3 days will be provided by Cineca.\
