Smale's vision has been the Society's inspiration for all these years. The Journal ``Foundations of Computational Mathematics'' was created; several colloquia and research semesters were organized and an international conference is held every three years. After fifteen years of existence, with an established and recognized position in the scientific community, the Society created the "Stephen Smale Prize" whose objective is to recognize the work of a young mathematician in the areas at the heart of the society's interests and to help to promote his or her integration among the leaders of the scientific community. The first Stephen Smale Prize was awarded in 2011 to Snorre H. Christiansen; the recicipients of the second Smale prize in 2014 were Carlos Beltran and Mark Braverman. More information and prize rules can be found at http://focm-society.org/smale_prize.php . Nominations should be sent to the FoCM secretary Angela Kunoth ([log in to unmask]) as a single pdf-file until October 09, 2016, 24:00 (GMT). ------------------------------------------------------- From: Samuel Relton [log in to unmask] Date: August 05, 2016 Subject: Batched BLAS Operations - Feedback Sought There is a growing requirement within the HPC and machine learning communities for new BLAS functionality, including "batched BLAS" (parallel computation of many small BLAS operations), reproducible BLAS (which return bit-wise identical results independent of the number of processors or order of summation in general), and reduced precision BLAS (to take advantage of emerging 16-bit floating point hardware support). A workshop on these topics was organized by Jack Dongarra at the University of Tennessee (18th-19th May 2016, http://bit.ly/Batch-BLAS-2016) with attendees from academia, national labs, and industry, to discuss requirements and possible interface standards. We have analyzed many of these ideas and would now like to invite all members of the community to contribute to the standardization effort by offering their expertise. The relevant publications can be found below, and we are open to any comments or suggestions you may have on the topic. Note that the proposed APIs will be updated as we receive more feedback from the community over the coming months.
