International Symposium on Computics: Quantum Simulation and Design (ISC-QSD)
DATE:
11-13 Oct. 2012
PLACE:
Osaka University Hall
SCOPE OF SYMPOSIUM:
This symposium is to provide a forum for discussing all the important issues in computational condensed matter physics and materials science. The principal purpose of the symposium is to offer an opportunity for exchanging ideas and enjoying in-depth discussion in both methodology in computational physics and chemistry and its application to materials.Current high performance computing utilizes various architectures such as multi-core massively-parallel nodes or sytem-on-a-chip (SOC) accelerators, and now supercomputers with its performance more than 10 PFLOPS machines are available (Sequoia and K). Such supercomputers, however, are already monsters to materials scientists. Collaboration with computer scientists to introduce new algorithms and even new mathematical schemes is imperative in computational science. We call this new stage of computational materials science in this century computics.
One of the purposes of this symposium is thus to facilitate successful collaboration between computational science and computer science thorough discussions on the important issues in materials science. Additionally, we hope to promote constructive discussion and collaborations between material designers (i.e., computational scientists) and experimental scientists by addressing specific individual issues in realizing new functional materials.
