Subject: H2Pack Software for Kernel Matrices

H2Pack is a library that provides linear-scaling storage and
linear-scaling matrix-vector multiplication for dense kernel matrices.
This is accomplished by storing the kernel matrices in the H2
hierarchical block low-rank representation.  It can be used for
Gaussian processes, solving integral equations, Brownian dynamics, and
other applications.

The main strength of H2Pack is its ability to efficiently construct H2
matrices in linear time for kernel functions used in Gaussian
processes (up to 3-D data) by using a new proxy point method.  Kernel
functions from computational physics, e.g., Coulomb, Stokes, can also
be used.  H2Pack is optimized for shared-memory multicore
architectures, including the use of vectorization for evaluating
kernel functions.  H2Pack provides C/C++ and Python interfaces.

Subject: Call for papers, PDSEC Workshop, May 2021

The 22nd IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed
Scientific and Engineering Computing (PDSEC-21) (http://www.ieee-
tcsc.org/2021/pdsec/) will be held on May 21, 2021 in Portland, Oregon
in conjunction with IPDPS 2021.  Given the pandemic, the conference
organizers are planning for different potential scenarios, including a
fully virtual conference.

Deadline: PDSEC-21 deadline: 22 Jan 2021 (AoE)

The technological trends in HPC system evolution indicates an
increasing burden placed on application developers due to the
management of the unprecedented complexity levels of hardware and its
associated performance characteristics.  Many existing scientific
applications codes are unlikely to perform well on future systems
without major modifications or even complete rewrites. In the future,
it will be necessary to utilize, in concert, many characteristics such
as multiple levels of parallelism, many lightweight cores, complex
memory hierarchies, novel I/O technology, power capping, system-wide
temporal/spatial performance heterogeneity and reliability concerns.
The parallel and distributed computing (PDC) community has developed
new programming models, algorithms, libraries and tools to meet these
challenges in order to accommodate productive code development and
effective system use. However, the scientific application community
still needs to identify the benefit through practical evaluations.
Thus, the focus of this workshop is on methodologies and experiences
used in scientific and engineering applications and algorithms to
achieve sustainable code development for better productivity,
application performance and reliability.
