The study of nanoscience and the development of nanotechnology applications increasingly demand a detailed understanding of quantum mechanical properties, as well as modern numerical and computational approaches to simulate large scale objects (materials, devices...) with predictability power and efficiency. Bridging the scientific community involved in N&N simulation with HPC initiatives is crucial timely to establish the challenges and envision a roadmap for large scale simulation developments in N&N.

The main goal of HPC-NN2011 is to establish a bird-eye description of the current state of progress in large scale simulations for nanomaterial characterization and nanodevice simulation, including application to energy, materials, nanoelectronics, nanobiotechnologies, etc... This symposium will enable a broad review of current development in nanotechnology and in turn to promote and expand the use of HPC tools to this very active scientific community.
