Accelerating molecular dynamics simple tweaks to instant clustersShahir Shamsir

This document discusses using existing idle computers to create an instant computing cluster for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations called birgHPC. It describes how birgHPC is a Linux distribution that allows various computers connected via LAN to be automatically configured as a computing cluster with tools for MD, bioinformatics and monitoring. Simple instructions and screenshots are provided on setting up and using birgHPC to perform MD simulations using idle computers with no additional cost.
This document discusses Canada's readiness for innovation-based leadership in the digital global environment. It notes that innovation has little to do with money or resources and more to do with people, leadership, and speed. The world is changing fast, with small, fast companies beating large, slow ones. Canada needs to shift from a knowledge-based education and process-focused system to thinking-based learning that embraces failure in an initiative-driven culture. For Canada to fully realize its potential, it must improve broadband internet access, promote real telecom competition, teach thinking over work skills, and challenge institutions to change what they do, not just how they do it.
A German photographer created a slideshow presentation. The slides could be advanced using a mouse. The photographer thanked the viewer for watching the slideshow.
This document discusses two locations, Riviere La Leona in Patagonia, Argentina and Abou Simbels Temple located on Nasser Lake in Egypt. Both locations provide scenic views and historical sites to explore.
The document provides tips for creating effective presentations:
1. Use consistent formatting like fonts, font sizes, and color schemes to avoid distracting the audience. Sans serif fonts like Roman and Gothic that are easy to read are recommended.
2. Limit bullet points to one or two lines each and include no more than six bullets per slide to avoid overwhelming the audience.
3. Avoid all capital letters and use italics sparingly for emphasis or titles. High contrast color combinations like yellow on blue aid readability.
4. Illustrations should be used sparingly and relate directly to the message to help communicate rather than distract. Simple diagrams are effective.
The document summarizes key facts about Antarctica:
1) Antarctica is located at the South Pole and has extremely cold temperatures reaching as low as -70属 Celsius with wind speeds up to 300 km/h.
2) It contains 90% of the world's ice and is the major fresh water reserve on Earth, with ice averaging 2,500 meters thick in some places.
3) If all the ice melted, it would cause the oceans to rise 70 meters globally and significantly impact the world's climate and weather patterns.
Computer aided drug design (CADD) uses computational methods to simulate drug-receptor interactions. CADD is heavily dependent on bioinformatics tools like homology modeling, similarity searches, and physicochemical modeling. These "gears" can be aided by greasing them through easier collaboration between researchers using tools of Web 2.0 like Google Docs, mind maps, and slide sharing to integrate CADD gears. Gaming consoles like the PS3 are also being explored as affordable clusters for CADD applications.
The document discusses finding the vertex of quadratic equations by using the formula x = -b/2a and then substituting that x-value back into the original equation to find the corresponding y-value. It provides an example of finding the vertex (2,3) of the equation y=-x^2 + 4x - 1. It then asks the reader to find and graph the vertices of three additional quadratic equations.
