We invite you to a free school on HPC in biology and medicine

From 21 to 30 August 2014, the VI Summer School of MIPT – Innopolis University on high-performance computing and its applications to the tasks of modern biology and medicine will be held in Kazan. The event is organized by the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) and Innopolis University - the first Russian university specializing exclusively in information technology.

Within the framework of the event, lectures on current problems of modern biology and modern mathematical models, as well as their applications to medical problems will be delivered.
School objectives
1. To form a general idea of ​​the students of the School about current biomedical problems, the solution of which requires the use of modern high-performance computing technologies;
2. To give an idea of ​​the basic models of mathematical biology and methods for solving the equations of these models;
3. Give basic knowledge of parallelization of algorithms and programs for solving equations of basic models using complexes of different architecture;
4. Develop students' work skills using communication media (MPI) and software models (CUDA).

The Chair of the School Program Committee, Igor Rudolfovich Efimov (eng. Igor R. Efimov), is a Russian-American scientist. Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Cell Biology and Physiology, and Radiology at the University of Washington in St. Louis, Missouri. efimov.wustl.edu
Attention listeners! Lecture by prof. Efimova will be held in English

Invited lecturers: Sofia Kovalevskaya Prize winner Dmitry Fedosov (Juelich, Germany), a specialist in the field of mathematical modeling of blood, Professor of the University of Massachusetts (University of Massachussets Lowell) V. Barsegov. , a specialist in computational biology and theoretical biophysics.
School attendance is free. Non-resident participants will be organized accommodation.

The participation of the following lecturers is expected: Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Professor Aliev R.R. Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Professor Lobanov A.I., Ph.D., Associate Professor Karpov V.E., Ph.D., Associate Professor Konkov K.A. , Ph.D. Kolobov AV ... Practical classes will be conducted by A. Yu. Subbotina, Ph.D. Babichev S.L., Tsybulin I.V., Ph.D. Zhmurov A.A.

To participate are invited students with a level of education not lower than a bachelor degree or 4 courses of specialists of technical universities, universities, faculties: mechanical and mathematical, physical, biological, applied mathematics. Required programming languages ​​- C / C ++. Desirable knowledge of the Linux operating system at the user level. Courses of differential equations should be listened to, preferably - courses of computational mathematics and equations of mathematical physics.

The selection of listeners is carried out on the basis of the questionnaire and the motivation letter. The letter is written in any form.
The application form can be downloaded at the link hpc.mipt.ru/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/anketa-kazan.doc
Applications for participation in the School (completed questionnaires with letters of motivation) should be sent to the email address pogorelova@crec.mipt.ru before July 30 , in the subject line indicate “Application for participation in the School”.

All candidates for participation in the School as listeners will be notified of the decision no later than August 7th.
Within the School, a brief scientific session is expected. Those who wish to make a report within the School should send a brief abstract of the report (1 page) along with the application. Abstracts of accepted reports will be published in the School Materials.

PS The participants of the 5th Summer School last year will be interested in taking this course, the materials have only 30% coincidence.

PPS The link will be organized online broadcast
