Massively Parallel Systems Summer School (PUMPS)

May 29th, 2012

Introduction

Barcelona Computing Week 2012, July 2-6, at BSC/UPC, Barcelona.

Following the success of previous years, the Programming and tUning Massively Parallel Systems Summer School (PUMPS) offers researchers and graduate students a unique opportunity to improve their skills with cutting-edge techniques and hands-on experience in developing applications for many-core processors with massively parallel computing resources like GPU accelerators.

Participants will have access to a multi-node cluster of GPUs, and will learn to program and optimize applications in languages such as CUDA and  OmpSs. Teaching assistants will be available to help with assignments.

Schrödinger’s Spring 2012 web seminars

May 16th, 2012

 

Spring 2012 web seminars begin May 22nd and run through May 29th. As always, there is no cost to register for the talks, and the speakers will take questions from attendees. You can join the webcast seminars using both Windows and Mac computers. This spring talks will cover a variety of subject matter, including:

  • BioLuminate, a protein-centric package for modeling biologics
  • Advances in loop modeling and docking accuracy using GPCR structures and homology models
  • What’s new in Schrödinger Suite 2012
  • Popular additions to Canvas for advancing cheminformatics
