Applications of HPC to Materials Chemistry: Dr. Scott Woodley, University College London (55 mins, ~38 MB)
Description
The Materials Chemistry Consortium (MCC) is the single largest consumer of resources on the HECToR National Supercomputer. In this talk I will give an overview of how MCC members exploit HECToR in a wide range of materials chemistry research and the types of applications that we are interested in.
