The aim of the workshop is to provide attendees with the basis for coding in GROMACS and contributing to the GROMACS developer community. The workshop consists of lectures with Q&A sessions and hands-on sessions with mentoring and covers the following topics:
- software structure and interface
- GROMACS GitLab and version control
- CI and testing
- best practice in the GMX developer community
All the trainers and mentors belong to the GROMACS team.
Audience: This workshop is aimed at people interested in coding in GROMACS and having previous coding experience
Pre-requisites: a background in molecular dynamics simulations (preferably minimum expertise in using GROMACS), experience in programming (preferably in C++ because that is the language in which GROMACS is written), and basic Linux skills.
- Please consult the following materials, if you’re uncertain of your skills:
-
- Linux commands, bash shell, a quiz and a link to intro course
- short guide to version control with Git
- GROMACS tutorial on Introduction to Molecular Dynamics
Where and When Online – 10-12 September 2024 – from 9:00 CEST to 17:30 CEST
Maximum number attendees: 40 attendees for lectures and around 10 attendees for the hands-on session (PS: hands-on attendees depends on the number of mentors)
