Electronic structure workshop, Spring 2017

Place: National Supercomputer Centre, Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden
Time: March 29, 2017. 10:30 - 17:00

NSC is pleased to host an Electronic structure workshop for SNIC users on March 29th 2017.

Introduction

A best practices workshop in the area of electronic structure calculations (materials science and quantum chemistry), hosted at NSC, Linköping University, with presentations by application experts from different SNIC centers. The presented software include for instance VASP, Quantum Espresso, RSPt, AiiDA, Gaussian and Jaguar.

The purpose of this workshop is to highlight best practice use regarding electronic structure calculations, as well as bringing together users and application experts. Users are very welcome to put forward their questions and concerns regarding calculations and to discuss directly with application experts. For example, we would very much like to learn how you run your jobs and what programs, simulations and data analysis your research requires, so we can help you better and potentially make the compute systems even easier to use for your research purposes.

The format is presentations given by application experts on different software, with time for questions and free discussion in the schedule.
