Petapath, NVIDIA and Supermicro would like to invite researchers, students and industrial users to a series of free seminars and workshops dedicated to the Bio Workbench. The seminars will principally cover the use of AMBER 11′s CUDA-accelerated PMEMD (Particle Mesh Ewald Molecular Dynamics) tool but will be of interest to anyone using other molecular dynamics packages covered by the Bio Workbench.
Guest speakers include Ross Walker (SDSC) and Ian Gould (UCL) and currently there are two events being held in the UK, the 8th of July at Imperial College London and the 16th of July at The University of Manchester. Please visit www.petapath.com/nvidia to register.

GPU-Accelerated Ion Placement
The Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group, NIH Resource for Macromolecular Modeling and Bioinformatics (www.ks.uiuc.edu) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, presents a Workshop on GPU Programming for Molecular Modeling to be held August 6-8, 2010, at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, on the University of Illinois campus in Urbana, Illinois, USA. Application, selection, and notification of participants is on-going through July 29, 2010.
Note: Participants are encouraged to attend the multi-site “Proven Algorithmic Techniques for Many-core Processors” workshop the preceding week (August 2-6) at the location of their choice. Registration for this workshop is required for participants without equivalent GPU-programming training or experience.

Abstract:
OpenCL is a new industry standard programming system for developing parallel programs that typically execute on heterogeneous computing systems. OpenCL has much in common with NVIDIA´s CUDA programming toolkit, but differs in a number of important respects as a result of its goal of supporting a broader range of target hardware platforms. This talk will introduce OpenCL and provide some basic comparisons with other programming systems.
Bio: John Stone is a Senior Research Programmer in the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. Mr. Stone is the lead developer of VMD, a high performance molecular visualization tool used by researchers all over the world. His research interests include molecular visualization, GPU computing, parallel processing, ray tracing, haptics, and virtual environments.
