CHAMPAIGN, IL —
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications will host a Computational Chemistry Workshop April 17-19 on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The conference will focus on the development and application of grids to computational chemistry and will spotlight GridChem, a portal connecting chemists with computational grids.
The workshop is sponsored by NCSA, the Center for Computational Sciences at the University of Kentucky, the Center for Computation and Technology at Louisiana State University, the Ohio Supercomputing Center, The Texas Advanced Computing Center at The University of Texas, Austin, and the Southeastern University Research Association.
The workshop's keynote session will focus on the needs and opportunities for computational chemistry. Presenters include: - NCSA director Thom Dunning, a noted computational chemist
- Fritz Schaefer, director of the Center for Computational Chemistry at the University of Georgia
- Russ Pitzer, a co-founder of the Ohio Supercomputer Center, discussing "Resources Needed for Multi-Reference Configuration Interaction Calculations"
- Sangtae Kim, a distinguished professor at Purdue University and director of the Shared Cyberinfrastructure Division at the National Science Foundation, on "NMI and Related NSF Initiatives in Shared Cyberinfrastructure."
The keynote session will conclude with a panel discussion featuring Dunning, Kim, Pitzer, and Schaefer.
