22 – 23 Sept

BSC, Barcelona

Researchers from European and North American universities will gather at the headquarters of the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre to compare tools simulating agent-based models used in biomedical projects. Using the MareNostrum4 supercomputer, researchers will identify the blind spots, strengths, and weaknesses of their agent-based tools and compare them with the other tools. These simulation agent-based tools have proven their usefulness in different biomedical projects, such as cancer, organ regeneration or neurite growth.

The goal of this community-driven benchmark is to help developers incorporate more efficient methods into their tools. PerMedCoE, as a Centre of Excellence, aims to assess systematically different cell-level simulation methods. With this community-driven benchmark, PerMedCoE aims to promote collaboration amongst different research groups working on multiscale modelling tools. This community-driven benchmark will also allow tool users to understand the different available tools and identify the ones that better fit their use cases.
