[Nicola Marzari]

Dear all,


in case you want to know the difference between QE and CERN - tomorrow 
(Thu, 3pm).

*CECAM Webinars - The importance of being H.P.C. Earnest*

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The power of simulation and modeling is intimately related to the 
available computational resources, to the community’s awareness of these 
resources, and to its proficiency in their optimal exploitation. The 
relevance and impact of High Performance Computing (HPC) can be quite 
different depending on the specific area, but we are all confronted with 
the relationship between new methods and algorithms and their 
implementation in proficient codes. We are also increasingly solicited, 
by technological developments and political choices, to consider in our 
research aspects related to scalability, portability and optimal 
deployment of software on a rapidly evolving ecosystem of hardware 
architectures.

We invite you to join us in an exploration of the relevance of HPC as an 
enabler of leading-edge simulation and modeling in our new series of 
webinars

*The importance of being H.P.C. Earnest*

The focus of the series will be on the science made possible by 
combining state-of-the-art methods with optimal exploitation of 
supercomputing resources.

The first of the five webinars planned for this event will be held on 
*Thursday June 18 15:00-17:00 (CEST)* and broadcasted live on the CECAM 
YouTube Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-scLUoHmFo4

with the following program:

15:00   Welcome and Introduction, Ignacio Pagonabarraga (CECAM)

15:10   Nicola Marzari (EPFL): The great mysteries of computational 
science, and the marvelous opportunities

15:40   Claudia Filippi (University of Twente), Anthony Scemama 
(University of Toulouse III): Targeting Real chemical accuracy at the 
EXascale

16:10   Giulia Galli (University of Chicago & Argonne National 
Laboratory): The long and winding road: predicting and designing 
material and molecular properties through computation

16:40   Questions and Answers

If you have a YouTube or Google account, you will be able to ask 
questions during the talks using a chat. You can also send your 
questions via email to director at cecam.org 
<mailto:director at cecam.org><mailto:director at cecam.org>. A moderator will 
relay as many of these questions as possible to the speakers.

More information and up to date videos can be found at:

Looking forward to your participation. Be well,

the CECAM team in Lausanne

PS: So far, we have been blessed with good fortune in our broadcasts. 
However, we are well aware of the dangers of tempting fate so a 
disclaimer is still in order. Should there be serious problems while we 
are live, we ask for your understanding. All seminars will be recorded 
and will be available long-term on the CECAM website.
