NIC-Symposium 2001
5 - 6 December 2001
Jülich - Germany
Auditorium of the Forschungszentrum Jülich
Programme | Proceedings
The John von Neumann Institute for Computing (NIC) -
a joint institute of DESY and FZ Jülich - supports with its
supercomputer facilities about 80 research groups at universities and
national labs which work on computer simulations in various fields
of science. This symposium gave an overview of these activities
and the results obtained in the previous two years.
Fifteen invited lectures covered selected topics in the following fields:
- Astrophysics
- Chemistry
- Condensed Matter
- Material Science
- Elementary Particle Physics
- Polymers
- Environmental Research
- Computer Science
The talks were intended to inform a broad audience of scientists and the interested
public about the research activities at NIC.
The proceedings of the symposium cover a larger range of
projects that have been supported by our CRAY T3E and T90 supercomputers
in Jülich and the Ape Mille topical computer at DESY-Zeuthen.
This symposium was the first in a series intended to document regularly the
activities at NIC.
