EDUCATION - 2008 UC MERCED SUMMER COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY PROGRAM

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 这是一个Teragrid集群分配的请求，将在2008年6月2日至7月11日在加州默塞德的新的加州大学校园的计算生物学夏季计划中使用。九名本科科学和工程专业的学生（谁已经被选中）将花五个星期参加讲座和计算机实验室在加州大学默塞德和一个星期访问美国国家科学基金会国家中心超级计算应用（主机在UIUC/NSCA：教授埃里克雅各布森）。这些学生将使用广泛使用的程序套件GROMACS学习分子动力学的原理和实践。学生们最初将在UC默塞德使用一个小型Linux集群学习GROMACS。Teragrid集群的请求分配将使他们能够对生物系统进行更有趣和更现实的分子动力学模拟。此外，这将是一个机会，让学生了解超级计算和后勤使用这些设施。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This is a request for a Teragrid cluster allocation to be used during a summer program in computational biology at the new University of California campus in Merced, California, from June 2 July 11, 2008. Nine undergraduate science and engineering students (who have already been selected) will spend five weeks attending lectures and computer laboratories at UC Merced and one week visiting the NSF National Center for Supercomputing Applications (host at UIUC/NSCA: Prof. Erik Jakobsson). These students will learn the principles and practice of molecular dynamics using a widely used program suite, GROMACS. The students will initially learn GROMACS using a small Linux cluster at UC Merced. The requested allocation on the Teragrid clusters will allow them to run more interesting and realistic molecular dynamics simulations on biological systems. Additionally, it will be an opportunity for the students to learn about supercomputing and the logistics of using such facilities.
