The course will cover the use of DL_POLY, a classical molecular dynamics package, on HPCx, providing a full introduction to the code and also hads on training. The course will be held in the Computation Science and Engineering Department's Visualization, Meeting and Training (VMT) Room. Attendees should report to security ( found opposite the site entrance ), where they will be directed to the venue. The course will start at 10.00 am. with coffee and tea available from 9.30. Attendees should note that there is a lack of available terminals, and so to ensure that they can take part in the practicals >>>attendees should bring a lap top.<<< Registration form: http://www.hpcx.ac.uk/support/training/form.html How to get to Daresbury Laboratory http://www.cse.clrc.ac.uk/about_us/where_we_are.shtml ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP: COMPUTATIONAL ENGINEERING ON HPCx CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory, 14th December 2006 The workshop will include presentations of engineering research highlights from HPCx, numerical methods, computational issues, experiences on HPCx and other parallel systems, and a forward-look to HECToR. HPCx staff will be contributing talks on spectral methods, performance of Fluent and CFX, optimisation for POWER5 and porting to HECToR.

We are conducting an HPC Tools Survey - all registered HPCx users can fill it in online. Just go to https://www.hpcx.ac.uk/, login to the admin website and click "Tools Survey". The purpose of this survey is to discover what software development tools users employ for their computational science research on a range of different systems: on their laptop or desktop; on medium scale parallel machines provided at departmental or university level; on national supercomputers such as HPCx. The aim is to find out what tools are actually used on HPCx, what tools it would be useful to install on HPCx, and what gaps there are in the availability of tools on high-end supercomputers. As an incentive, we will be offering prizes of two 20-pound Amazon vouchers. After the survey closes (currently planned for the end of December) we will pick the two winners randomly from the list of users who completed the survey. Please note that the survey comprises a number of separate sections and that you must press the appropriate "Submit" button >>>at the end of every section.<<< Each section can be completed independently and you can return to the survey many times to fill in empty sections or modify your answers.
