Special workshop on : high performance computer simulation of cooperative phenomena

Abstract

In a wide variety of physical systems cooperative phenomena resulting from interactions at the atomic or molecular levels give rise to structures on mesoscopic to macroscopic length scales. The problem of calculating the properties of such systems from simulations based on mathematical models is computationally intense because of the range of length scales and length of time that must be included. This session discusses algorithms and ”best practices” for the use of high performance computing to simulate these systems and will include several examples of applications to specific systems.
