balancing four objectives: a) ease of use by non-specialists, b) ease of
implementation, c) good algorithmic performance, and d) efficient use
of new technology. Historically these objectives have not been in
conflict, thanks to most users also being experienced programmers,
limited variance of physical models, and incremental changes in
technology. However, this balance is being challenged by the growing
popularity of MD outside its original domain and the ongoing
transformation of computing equipment.<br><br>This Workshop aims to
discuss strategies for MD software development that move towards: 1)
accurate and reproducible models for new applications; 2) maintainable
multi-physics approaches; 3) improved sampling through an effective use
of automation. Emphasis is given to tools that transcend the domains of
chemistry, materials science and biology, through invited talks by
developers and contributors of leading software packages in each field.<br><br>Attendance
is open to computational scientists who aim to implement novel methods,
or to port them across domain-specific codes.<br><div><b><br><font size="4">Current list of speakers</font></b><br>Joshua Anderson (U Michigan)<br>Peter Eastman (Stanford)<br>Pascal Merz (U Colorado-Boulder)<br>Trung Nguyen (Northwestern)<br>Stefan Paquay (Brandeis)<br>Jim Phillips (U Illinois Urbana-Champaign)<br>Steve Plimpton (Sandia National Labs)<br>Joshua Puckner (U Michigan)<br>Ellad Tadmor (U Minnesota)<br></div><b><br><font size="4">Registration page (<span class="m_-371109097960842395m_6382718933408929704gmail-aBn"><span class="m_-371109097960842395m_6382718933408929704gmail-aQJ">May 12th</span></span> </font></b><font size="4"><b><b>deadline</b>)</b></font><br><a href="https://goo.gl/forms/3ZwbXrbOnszvMdZE2" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/forms/3ZwbXrbOn<wbr>szvMdZE2</a></div></div>
