Description:
Prerequisites:
- You will need an ARC account to follow along and set up these tools.
- Access to a VT network (e.g., on campus or connected to VPN)
- Basic understanding of materials science concepts.
- Familiarity with computational modeling and simulation techniques.
- Prior exposure to Linux/Unix environments will be advantageous.
Description:
This workshop offers an in-depth exploration of high-performance computing (HPC) for materials modeling and simulations. Aimed at PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty members, this workshop will introduce participants to essential computational techniques and tools, utilizing available resources effectively. Through practical sessions, attendees will gain hands-on experience running materials modeling software including LAMMPS, NAMD, Gromacs, and AMBER on ARC clusters.
