Sire

The EPSRC have kindly funded a two-year project to develop two new pieces of software;

(1) Aspire - an adaptive, multiresolution hybrid molecular dynamics program,
(2) Acquire - a WorkPacket/WorkQueue scheduling system

Here is the case for support that describes the project in detail, and the EPSRC webpage that provides information about the grant.

This is an exciting project that builds on the code developed in the Sire molecular simulation framework, to build new HPC software that will of use to a large number of computational science and engineering users.

The project officially started on the 5th September 2011, and we are currently advertising to recruit a postdoctoral researcher who can help with the coding and development of these two pieces of software (in particular, focussed on Acquire, although will work closely with myself, who will be focussed on Aspire). The job advert is here, with closing date 9am (UK time) 20th September. If you are interested, please feel free to get in touch and ask questions, and to make an application :-).

For more details about the project, please see the project pages for Acquire and for Aspire.
