A mixture of presentations, Q/A and general discussion plus a practical session on the current and future state and practice of high performance computational ab-initio materials science codes based on plane-wave expansions (science, serial and parallel performance, optimization and modernization).
Plane-wave codes (such as CASTEP, VASP and CPMD) are at the cutting edge of computational materials science and represent a substantial fraction of the use of HPCx, the UK national academic high performance resource. The event is being organized by CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory as a companion/satellite to the HPCx Annual Seminar to be held at eSI on 4th October 2006.
Target Audience
This workshop is intended for users of plane-wave codes on HPCx and other large platforms
