The University of Tennessee will offer a summer school course in accelerating
computational chemistry with general-purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs) from
Aug. 10-14. The course is offered in coordination with the Virtual School of Computational
Science and Engineering.
This course will provide students with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to
start exploiting the power of GPGPUs in real chemistry applications. The course is
especially designed for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in
chemistry and related disciplines.
Applications are due by July 15, 2009, and should be addressed to
[log in to unmask] In the application please clearly indicate:
Full name
Home institution and department
Email address
Status: (graduate student, postdoc, other)
Research topic
Algorithms of interest
Programming experience
Limited funds are available for partial or full support of the travel and local expenses of a
few students, in particular to enable participation of underrepresented or disadvantaged
groups. To apply for support, please include a brief paragraph in the application email to
request and explain the need for support, and to describe the benefits that attending the
workshop would have for both you and your institution.
