Molecular Science Computing Facility: Events

Previous Meetings

SCICOMP 6, August 19 - 23, 2002, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

This meeting will include joint sessions for both SCICOMP and SP-XXL attendees, including a keynote address by a distinguished member of the high performance computing community. Abstract submission forms and information about registration, lodgings, and other matters related to this meeting, can be found at http://www.spscicomp.org/ScicomP6/

The ScicomP meeting series enables computational scientists and engineers to learn about tools and techniques for developing applications that achieve maximum performance and scalability on IBM systems, both SP's and their successors. Technical presentations will highlight recent results and advanced techniques, and will provide the kind of information, expertise, and experience that scientific and technical applications developers need but cannot easily find elsewhere.

EMSL 2002

A technical meeting at the William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) that includes both symposia and tutorials. The symposia are focused on recent developments and opportunities in several areas of environmental molecular science, while the tutorials are intended to introduce you to some of EMSL's research capabilities. For details, see http://www.emsl.pnl.gov

Building on the success of the first Computational Challenges in the Post-Genomic Age workshop in 2000, you are invited to join world class scientists in exploring a broad range of topics covering computational biology in the post-genomic age at the second computational biology conference sponsored by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the San Diego Supercomputer Center, and Sun Microsystems Incorporated: Computational Challenges In The Post-Genomic Age-II.

Computational Chemistry Users Meeting, June 18-19 2001

The Theory, Modeling and Simulation Directorate would like to invite you to attend a special two day Computational Chemistry Users Meeting June 18-19. This year's event will focus upon the users of the Molecular Science Software Suite (MS3) consisting of the high performance computational chemistry software, NWChem, its associated user interface, Ecce, and the underpinning set of high performance tools, ParSoft, as well as chemistry users of the Molecular Science Computing Facility. This two-day meeting will feature:

A half-day session of presentations by MS3 developers highlighting the current functionality and capabilities of the software as well as potential new capabilities,
Two half-day sessions of short talks by users of the MS3 and the MSCF computing facility describing their research and needs for new capabilities,
A half-day tutorial for people who wish to develop computational chemistry software within NWChem,
An Ecce installation tutorial, and
A Poster session

The users meeting will be held at the EMSL and we will provide access to the MSCF software and hardware facilities as needed. Please mark your calendars and join us with presentations of your computational chemistry successes as well as identifying important future requirements. Registration for foreign nationals need to be submitted as soon as possible and no later than April 6th.

SCICOMP 2000 Meeting, August 13-16

08/13-16/2000 - SCICOMP is an international user group for scientific/technical users of IBM SP systems. The purpose of SCICOMP meetings is to share information on software tools and techniques for developing scientific applications that achieve maximum performance and scalability on the SPs. The meeting includes technical presentations by both IBM staff and SP users. Technical presentations focus on recent results and advanced techniques in order to provide the kind of information, expertise, and experience that scientific and technical applications developers need but cannot easily find anywhere else. This year's meeting, SCICOMP 2000, will be hosted by the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California San Diego in La Jolla, CA on August 13-16. For details, see announcement or www.spscicomp.org

Environmental Molecular Sciences Symposium and Second EMSL User Meeting
EMSL 2000 - June 19-24, 2000 at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, WA

06/19-24/2000 - A combination of tutorials, symposia, poster sessions, and user meeting provides an opportunity to learn more about opportunities in the environmental molecular sciences. Learn how to be a user of the William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, the U.S. Department of Energy's national scientific user facility. Find out what fundamental research is being carried out on the physical, chemical, and biological processes that underpin critical environmental issues. For more information and to register for the symposia and tutorials, see the EMSL 2000 Web page.

Computational Challenges of the Post Genomic Age
Symposium sponsored by Sun, PNNL, & SDSC - May 11-13, 2000 at Burlingame, California

05/11-13/2000 - As the 20th century ends we are moving into a very exciting age where questions in biology will dominate the scientific landscape. Sun Microsystems in conjunction with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the San Diego Supercomputer Center, are co-sponsoring this scientific symposium. Bioinformatics and the mapping of genomes, structural genomics and interactions are the cellular level, through full organ simulations all pose a myriad of scientific questions combined with computational challenges. This conference, open to all scientists will explore these issues in a two-day symposium. Sixteen world class scientists will address these issues in a comfortable setting on the San Francisco Peninsula. Details at http://www.sdsc.edu/Workshops/postgenomic/.

Computational Methods in Environmental Chemistry
ACS National Meeting - March 26-31, 2000 at San Francisco, California

03/26-31/2000 - Division of Environmental Chemistry, 219th American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting, at San Francisco, California - Rapidly evolving progress in computer hardware and software has promoted the application of sophisticated chemical models to complex environmental problems. This symposium will showcase the application of computational methods, including molecular modeling of pollutant properties and reactions, kinetic simulations of complex reactions, and aqueous equilibrium modeling. Oral presentations will emphasize A) novel algorithms and models which could be applied to environmental problems, B) models and algorithms first applied to environmental problems in the last five years and C) prospective environmental applications for which only preliminary results are available. Short abstracts (required by ACS) and extended abstracts no longer than 4 pages (required by the Division of Environmental Chemistry) were to have been submitted by November 3, 1999 to: Steve Cabaniss Department of Chemistry Kent State University Kent, OH 44242 (330)672-3731 FAX (330)672-3816 - email: scabanis@kent.edu - http://gemini.tntech.edu/~mjw5030/cabaniss.html

IBM SP Users' Meeting - October 6 - 8, 1999, Yorktown Heights, New York

10/6-8/99 - The first annual IBM SP Scientific Computing Meeting, SP SciComp 1999, will be hosted by the IBM Advanced Computing Technology Center (ACTC) at IBM Research. The meeting, open to 285 participants, is a user-oriented and planned 3-day workshop to share information on scientific computing techniques for SP users. The meeting has been created on the recommendations of the attendees of the recent IBM SP Scientific Applications Development and Optimization Meeting held in March 1999 at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The objective of this meeting is to help computational scientists and engineers develop applications that achieve maximum performance and scalability on the IBM SP systems. The meeting will consist of presentations by IBM staff and users from academia and government labs that will cover topics such as migrating codes from other systems, performance analysis and optimization for SP systems, programming tools and techniques, etc. Tutorials by IBM staff, open to 40 participants, will be held on the two days prior to the meeting, October 4 - 5, in a computerized classroom.
