Organised by Singapore’s A*STAR Computational Resource Centre, the conference will provide a vital platform for industry and academic experts to interact and explore the latest global trends and innovations in high performance computing. The conference themes include the following: - Supercomputing applications in domains of critical impact in economic and human terms, and especially those requiring computing resources approaching exascale; - Big data science merging with supercomputing with associated issues of I/O, high bandwidth networking, storage, workflows and real time processing; - Architectural complexity of exascale systems with special focus on supercomputing interconnects, interconnect topologies and routing, and interplay of interconnect topologies with algorithmic communication patterns for both numerically intensive computations and big data; and - Any other topic that push the boundaries of supercomputing to exascale and beyond Jack Dongarra, Thomas Sterling and Satoshi Matsuoka are among the keynote speakers scheduled to present at the event. Registration is now open, and attendees can register here - http://supercomputingfrontiers2015.com/ A Call for Papers (http://supercomputingfrontiers2015.com/call-for-papers/) for the conference can be accessed as well. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Amaziane [log in to unmask] Date: January 16, 2015 Subject: Approx Meth/Modeling in Env/Natural Resources, France, Jun 2015 6th International Conference on Approximation Methods and Numerical Modeling in Environment and Natural Resources (MAMERN VI-2015) June 1-5, 2015, Pau, France http://mamern15.sciencesconf.org/ Contact: [log in to unmask] Deadline for submission of abstracts: 1st February, 2015 Topics: Approximation and modeling applied to environment sciences and natural resources; New applications and developments in approximation methods; Mathematics and computation in geosciences; Modeling of ecosystems; Oceanographic and coastal engineering; Numerical modeling of flow and transport in porous media; Mathematical analysis of models in porous media; Multi-Scale Modeling of Flow and Transport in Porous Media; Statistical modeling in geosciences; Stochastic partial differential equations Selected papers from MAMERN VI-2015 will be published, after a refereeing process, as a Special Issue of the Journal MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTERS IN SIMULATION. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Ilse Ipsen [log in to unmask] Date: January 18, 2015 Subject: Gene Golub SIAM Summer School, Greece, Jun 2015 The sixth Gene Golub SIAM Summer School will take place in Delphi, Greece, 15-26 June 2015. The focus of the summer school is Randomization in Numerical Linear Algebra, that is, the design of numerical linear algebra algorithms by means of randomized methods, such as random sampling or random projections. Application information is available here: http://www.cs.rpi.edu//~drinep/G2S3_RandNLA_2015/ The application deadline is 1 February 2015.

Such models often involve PDEs, and the efficiency of these algorithms on modern high performance computing systems relies on the ability to parallelize the computations. The aim of this workshop is to provide an introduction to the state of the art in theory and practical applications of domain decomposition (DD) methods for PDEs. The program will begin with a two-day short course given by Prof. Martin Gander (Geneva). Prof. Gander is an internationally recognized leading expert in Schwarz methods - a class of DD methods for steady state and time dependent PDEs. The middle component of the program will focus on presentations by researchers whose work may benefit from the use of DD methods for PDEs arising as mathematical models in practical applications. The final segment of the program will feature a workshop format in which breakout teams will investigate the process of introducing DD techniques into the numerical simulations that arise in the applications identified earlier. Confirmed DD experts include David Keyes (KAUST), Victorita Dolean (Nice) and Felix Kwok (Hong Kong Baptist). Some funding for students will be available. More information and registration details will appear shortly at http://www.math.mun.ca/anasc/ ------------------------------------------------------- From: Wolfgang Bangerth [log in to unmask] Date: January 15, 2015 Subject: deal.II User and Developer Workshop, USA, Aug 2015 There will, as every odd year, be a US edition of the annual deal.II meeting: deal.II User and Developer Workshop College Station, TX August 3-7, 2015 With support from NSF, we can support travel by a limited number (20-30) of students and postdocs from within the US, but participants from elsewhere and at other career stages are of course welcome as well. As in previous years, the format will allow everyone interested to give short talks, but we keep a significant fraction of time blocked off for a "hackathon" style meeting where people are encouraged to work on their own or shared projects in a setting where plenty of people with experience are available for help and collaboration. If you are interested in coming (no firm commitment necessary at this time), please enter your name to the spreadsheet at http://tinyurl.com/m7p3lae so that we can get an idea of how many people want to attend. ------------------------------------------------------- End of Digest **************************
