The workshop will be held from Wednesday May 2 to Friday May 4, 2012. The programme will consist of 12 speakers addressing a range of topics related to (i) the algorithmic challenges that will be required to enable exploration of large scale applications, and (ii) the molecular dynamics applications that most clearly require the computing capacity of future-generation HPC systems. The workshop will be preceded by a tutorial held April 30- May 2. Although the tutorial is now fully booked, there are still places in the workshop.

If travelling by train, please note that Edinburgh has two railway stations; Waverley Railway Station being the main station and closest to the workshop venue at 15 South College Street. If you alight at Edinburgh Waverley, the workshop venue is an easy 10 minute walk over North and South Bridge. The second railway station is called Haymarket and is at the West End of the city centre.
