Requirements.

*Title*:   A basic introduction to NAMD

*Abstract*: NAMD, recipient of a 2002 Gordon Bell Award, is a parallel 
moleculardynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large 
biomolecular systems. Based on Charm++ parallel objects, NAMD scales to 
several hundred thousands of processors on high-end parallel platforms 
and hundreds of processors on commodity clusters using gigabit ethernet 
or Infiniband. NAMD is distributed free of charge with source code. This 
talk will give a brief introduction to NAMD, how to build and run NAMD, 
its parallelization techniques and performance.

*Speaker*: Dr. Gengbin Zhang, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Dr. Zhang is a research scientist in  Computer Science and Engineering 
and leads the design and development of Charm++ and Adaptive MPI 
parallel systems.

Please distribute to Faculty, Students and Staff who may be interested 
in learning about NAMD.

Thanks,
Alex
