EDUCATION - 2008 UC MERCED SUMMER COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY PROGRAM

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这是一份申请TeraGrid集群分配的申请，将于2008年6月2日至7月11日在加州大学默塞德新校区的计算生物学暑期课程期间使用。9名理工科本科生(已被选中)将在加州大学默塞德分校参加五周的讲座和计算机实验室，并将在一周内参观NSF国家超级计算应用中心(UIUC/NSCA的东道主：埃里克·雅各布森教授)。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。这些学生最初将使用加州大学默塞德分校的一个小型Linux集群学习GROMACS。在TeraGrid集群上请求的分配将允许他们在生物系统上运行更有趣和更现实的分子动力学模拟。此外，这将是学生学习超级计算和使用此类设施的后勤保障的机会。

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.
