Abstract:

Computer simulation methods based on empirical potentials or on the

approach have made invaluable contributions to our understanding of complex chemical and biochemical processes. However in spite of great progress in hardware, computer simulations often fall short of what is needed for a realistic description of the systems of interest, for instance in nanoscience or biochemistry. In this talk we shall present our new ideas on how to extend the length and time scale of the simulation with the help of highly performing computer platforms.
