Workshop Proposal: The Petascale Computing and the Biosciences Workshop is Being Held on August 29-30, 2006 in Arlington, VA.

加州大学圣地亚哥分校获得资助，将于2006年8月29日至30日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举办一次关于生物科学中的千兆级计算的研讨会。目标是快速启动计算机科学家和计算生物科学家之间的合作，从而在千万亿次计算资源上线时实现高效和早期的使用。讲习班将促进这两个领域之间有意义的信息交流；它的结构将是一个教程；生物科学家将描述它们的应用以及它们所带来的计算挑战；计算机科学家将描述他们改进应用程序性能和能力的方法和工具。研讨会将确定具体的行动，例如开发算法和模型开发的协作项目。这些将包括在研讨会报告中。目的是使这两个领域的研究人员能够更好地使用新兴的千万亿级高性能系统。

The University of California at San Diego is awarded funds to organize a workshop in Arlington, VA, from August 29-30, 2006 on Petascale computing in the Biosciences. The goal is to jumpstart collaborations between computer scientists and computational bioscientists thereby enabling efficient and early use of petascale computing resources as they come online. The workshop will promote meaningful information exchange between the two domains; it will be structured as a tutorial; bioscientists will describe their applications along with the computational challenges they present; computer scientists will describe their methods and tools for improving application performance and capability. There will be concrete actions identified out of the workshop, such as development of collaborative projects for algorithm and model development. These will be included in the workshop report. The objective is that investigators in both fields are better positioned to use emerging petascale high performance systems.
