Our undergrad summer students have an event at 5PM. Let me know if there are further conflicts. -Alejandro On 6/14/07, Alejandro Perdomo <aleperd(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > We will talk today about construction of arbitrary funtions out of binary > variables and as an example we will go over the construction of hamiltonians > for a simple model used in protein folding (HP model).

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [iic-seminars] Special IIC Seminar on June 27th

by Helene Tingle

Initiative in Innovative Computing @ Harvard Summer Seminar Wednesday, June 27, 2007; 3:00pm 60 Oxford Street, Room 330 David Skinner, Group Lead, Open Software and Programming Group, National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, Lawrence Berkeley lab Seminar Title: Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing : Resources for Science Driven Computation Abstract The Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing Program (SciDAC) operated by the Department of Energy Office of Science has begun its second round of projects, after a wealth of successful projects in its first five years. This unique program has brought together computational scientists, applied mathematicians, and computer scientists from across application domains and from universities and national laboratories across the United States. As a result, the computational state-of-the-art in many fields has advanced significantly. This talk will present an overview of the resources and opportunities available to researchers through SciDAC. Upcoming IIC seminars Continue to stay up to date with our IIC Seminar Schedule. Parking is available in the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Please tell the attendant that you are attending the IIC Seminar. _______________________________________________ iic-seminars mailing list iic-seminars(a)calists.harvard.edu http://calists.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/iic-seminars

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] The Lamenting Scientist

by James D Whitfield

Dear Fellow Scientists, Coworkers and Valued Friends, There was once a very smart man. He did science from sun up to sun down. Calculations, theories, DFT, QMC, protein folding and magic. All these things he saved on his computer locked away deep in the basement at the heart of the scientific computing labs. He worked so meticulous and diligently one would have sworn he was in a monastery of science. However this fellow, smart as he was, was not a genius. Though almost, his intelligence was tragically flawed. Coherence time of 1.5 picoseconds, correlation length: 3.2 arbitrary units, 3.4 kcals per mole. He solved this equation and made headway on that one. But sadly he worked alone. Alone, deep in the basement at the heart of the labs. Soon his thesis would be complete and the solution to world hunger, global violence, genocide and AIDS would be at hand. Soon be alas, it is never soon enough. The day of reckoning came for him to unveil his creation. He felt the incubation had finally complete and he stood up and looked at all the data pouring across his triple monitor setup. He let out a twisted laugh for he knew he had completed it. "Finally," he said to himself. He walked to the phone and called his peers and colleagues to see what he had done. They entered and as he ushered them in he reached for the light switch. The lights had been off for nearly four years now. His peers were already glancing at the figures he had running across the screen. He flipped the switch but no lights came on. Instead the animations died and the monitors turned off. The glow of the power button faded and the hum of the computer fans twirlled to a stop. There was just the faint smell of burning transitors and his painful cries. So backup your data. -- You can backup your data by going to our server, Granada, at IP 128.103.54.125. It is an FTP server so you can use your favorite FTP software to connect. In the HD_a1 I made folders for everyone who already has a login. If you need to be added go to the server via the internet and login using: (admin, qc4ever) and add yourself or just send me an email and I'll do it. There are more detailed instruction to come. Stay tuned. Great Science, James Whitfield -- James D Whitfield Aspuru-Guzik Group Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Harvard University tel: 301-520-7847

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] getting our visitor online

by Jacob D. Biamonte

Hi everyone, We have a visitor here from Purdue University staying for one week. He is here now and needs to get his laptop online to prepare his talk for tomorrow. I don't have a password, would anyone mind helping him get online? It requires a Harvard password and will only take a second. Also, we will be going to dinner tonight. If anyone is interested drop by the lab around 5:30 or so. We should leave at 6:00 p.m. cheers, jake-

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Dear guys, this is the "scoop" from Nori.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear all, This is the "scoop" that I was warning about with Nori, It is not that bad, because what we are doing is different, but there you go. Here is his preprint.
