BioExcel CoE Newsletter #2

Dear reader,

You are receiving this mail either because you subscribed for the BioExcel's newsletter through the website or you attended one of our webinar events. Since we are going to organize more of the latter, we thought you'd like to know about them. You can, of course, always unsubscribe (link is at the bottom) but we hope you'd like to stay in touch with us.

So what's new? The center is picking up speed - our educational webinar series started and the first two attracted quite a big audience of hundreds of attendees. We launched discussion forums at http://Ask.Bioexcel.eu, which will have a dedicated spot for the upcoming interest groups. There will be more about them in the next newsletter. And there are a couple more jobs on offer.

Check out the selected posts below and get in touch with us!

BioExcel Educational Webinar Series

We launched the series at the end of April with Alexandre Bonvin talking about the latest HADDOCK version and how you can put it to work for integrative modelling. A couple of weeks later Mark Abraham addressed the very important topic of squeezing every cycle out of your hardware with GROMACS. Developers are making exciting progress with automation, but finding the optimal balance for a particular embeded-solvated-multi-protein-membrane system on a multi-node HPC machine with accelerators can be a challenge. A bit of theory though can easily give you extra power. All talks are recorded and available on our youtube channel - watch and share!
