BioExcel CoE Newsletter #7
Dear reader,
Tomorrow we have the next webinar in our educational series on "How to choose compute resources for your team". As a follow up to it, next week we will look into the specifics of choosing Cloud and HTC resources. Hurry up and sign up for both! As you know, all webinars have a live Q&A session at the end to ask presenters directly.
This week is also the deadline to register for the "Hybrid Methods in Molecular Simulations" workshop. Isn't it great to learn all about QM/MM, coarse grained MD etc. while enjoying the beauty of Sardinia (Italy)? We certainly think so!
If southern Europe isn't your thing, you are welcome to Stockholm (Sweden) for the awesome BioExcel/PRACE Spring School. Have you ever been to lectures and hands-on tutorials by the very core developers of the 4 big applications for molecular modelling and simulations - GROMACS, AMBER, NAMD and VMD? Probably not because the Spring School is the first such event!
Then, in the UK we have the Summer School on "Foundation skills for HPC". That's in July (weather's fine!) but the deadline is also coming close.
All events above are free of charge, and we even offer travel bursaries. So, please, hurry up!
As some of you know, BioExcel works very closely with the Open PHACTS foundation. In one of our projects, we use the pharmacological data provided through the Open PHACTS' APIs. Recently our organizations signed a formal agreement for strategic partnership.
The integrative modelling interest group has a brand new page. There you can find regular updates with tips&tricks, interviews, events and notable publications covering this exciting domain.
To all GROMACS users - there's a new patch release 2016.2! Let your friendly sysadmin know about it and kindly ask to consider an upgrade.
