Dear Life Science User, The ScalaLife project (http://www.scalalife.eu) is organising the CECAM workshop "High Performance Computing in Computational Chemistry and Molecular Biology: Challenges and Solutions provided by ScalaLife project", between October 3 and 5, in CECAM-HQ-EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland.* ScalaLife has invited renowned life scientists from Europe and USA to discuss recent advances in large scale simulations and showcase their latest results. The workshop will also present the newest developments in three life science software packages: GROMACS, DALTON and DISCRETE. The workshop features multiple hands-on sessions, giving the participants the opportunity to practice the modelling capabilities of the three software packages. These sessions will also include user-clinics, a unique opportunity for users to bring in their own problems and discuss the challenges they face in modelling with the developers of these packages. Registration: Life-scientist and researchers from academia and industry are cordially invited to participate in the workshop. To apply for participation please go to http://www.cecam.org/ workshop-6-672.html or send an email to scalalife@pdc.kth.se *The number of participants is limited.
