CCL: GPU Summer School

 Sent to CCL by: "Todd J Martinez" [tjm . spawn.scs.uiuc.edu]
 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
 gpgpuschool++ion.chem.utk.edu.
 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.
