Virtual Venue: Bridgeport Room
Biomedical Applications of Molecular Dynamics on the TeraGrid
This is a two-day workshop over the Access Grid. The dates are April 17 and 
April 18. Hosted by NCSA, this workshop will familiarize biomedical 
researchers with computational methods and provide practice in applying 
supercomputing resources to problems of concern in molecular dynamics. 
Lectures will cover computing resources available at NCSA, a general 
introduction to molecular modeling, its benefits to research through the 
use of case studies, and a review of available hardware and software tools. 
The use of the program NAMD will be discussed in detail, and an optional 
half-day hands-on session will allow participants to gain experience using 
NAMD and the visualization program VMD, or other applications of their 
choice that are available at NCSA. No prior supercomputing or molecular 
modeling experience is necessary.
