This workshop focused on software interoperability issues in molecular sciences codes, with the goals of engaging community software developers of MM and QM codes to discuss previously identified use cases, to identify new use cases, and to identify existing solutions and ways to move forward to arrive at community solutions.
The present workshop will address the challenge of developing maintainable, modular, modern, and scalable software dedicated to the modeling of environment effects in Computational Molecular Sciences.
This workshop will offer up to 30 undergraduate attendees at the MERCURY Consortium conference an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of running and analyzing molecular dynamics simulations using OpenMM and MDTraj, how to use GitHub as a repository for software, how to make modifications to these software packages, and how to submit those changes for inclusion in the GitHub repository.
This workshop focused on some of the core components of quantum chemistry software packages, particularly tensor algebra and integral libraries.
The MolSSI launch event was held on Tuesday, April 4th, at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco. An excellent crowd attended to enjoy food, drinks, and lots of information about how the Institute can benefit the global computational molecular sciences community.
