HOOMD-blue is a general-purpose Molecular Dynamics simulation code accelerated on GPUs. This live interactive webinar will offer an introduction to HOOMD-blue, a description of what it does, how to download and install it as well as example simulations of the Lennard-Jones fluid. The target audience is all individuals interested in MD simulation, but prior knowledge is not required. Materials will be introductory, beginning with MD basics and moving into details of HOOMD-blue. A wide range of topics will be briefly covered, giving potential users an idea of how to do all the steps in a simulation, including defining parameters, executing the simulation and examining the output.
