Molecular Modelling and High Performance Computing with Applications
June 7th-9th, John Anderson Building, room J.A. 7.30, University of Strathclyde
This three day course will cover the basic knowledge and skills required to:
- run molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the GROMACS package
- visualise the results using VMD
- enable participants to run their own simulations
A more detail syllabus is availabe below.
The training will be delivered by Dr Carlos Ferrerio-Rangel (Knowledge Exchange Fellow, Chemical and process Engineering) and Dr Karina Kubiak – Ossowska (ARCHIE-WeSt support team) and is available to staff and postgraduate students from ARCHIE-WeSt partner institutions. The number of places are limited and priority will be given to users of ARCHIE-WeSt. Places for users of other facilities will be subject to availability. Students who will complete the training (by attending all 5 sessions and producing a report describing their own simulations) will obtain a certificate of attendance worth 5 credits.
