The 7th Annual Meeting on High Performance Computing and Infrastructure in Norway
NOTUR2008 - PROGRAMME
June 3 - Tutorial Day
Two 1-day tutorials will be held (in parallel):
Grid middleware tutorial.
The tutorial provides an introduction to the ARC grid middleware that
is used by several research communities to deploy scientific
applications across a computational grid infrastructure that spans the
Nordic countries. The tutoral will be given by scientists from the
EC-funded project KnowArc and the Nordic Data Grid Facility. After
the tutorial, one should have a good understanding what it takes to
obtain access to the Norwegian and Nordic grid infrastructure and how
to exploit the combined computational power of this infrastructure.Schrödinger software tutorial.
Schrödinger software provides
a versatile suite of computational tools
for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and materials science research. The first
half of the tutorial will be an introduction to the various modules that
are provided by the Schrödinger suite and that are also available
on the national compute facilities provided by Notur. The second half
of the tutorial will have two tracks, one for quantum
mechanics, the other for more biomolecular-oriented applications.help@schrodinger.com .
