Ginkgo leverages the features of modern C++ to give you a tool for the iterative solution of linear systems that is: - Easy to use via a C++ interface; - Attaining high performance from CUDA kernels highly optimized for today's GPU-accelerated high-end systems; - Controllable by specifying execution back-end (OpenMP, CUDA, reference); - Composable in terms of combining and cascading different solvers and preconditioners via a novel linear operator abstraction; - Extensible in terms of algorithms, matrix formats, and other components via a script pre-generating the new class-, header-, and file structure; - Expandable to other hardware via adding back-ends without touching the algorithm implementations; - Setting new standards in terms of correctness and reproducibility via a comprehensive unit testing framework comparing the high performance back-ends to a sequential reference implementation. Ginkgo is a collaborative effort including the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, University of Jaume I, University of Tennessee, and other contributors. The open-source code is available at the project webpage https://ginkgo-project.github.io/ ------------------------------------------------------- From: Michael Heroux [log in to unmask] Date: April 23, 2019 Subject: 2019 European Trilinos User Group Meeting, Switzerland, Jun 2019 Registration is open for the one-day European Trilinos User Group meeting on June 11, 2019 at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, co-sponsored by CSCS.

The optimization group at FAU has more than 25 years of experience in modeling and solving complex and very large-scale planning and decision problems from logistics, energy, production, engineering, and the natural sciences, see https://www.mso.math.fau.de/de/edom/. Their key expertise is in developing and applying models and algorithms, which yield proven optimal solutions to optimization problems. This involves techniques like linear, nonlinear, and integer programming, robust optimization, graph algorithms, polyhedral combinatorics, and the like. Furthermore, design of efficient heuristics and exact algorithms together with effective implementations is key expertise. The chair EDOM - Economics, Discrete Optimization, Mathematics (Chair Wirtschaftsmathematik) consists of 20+ PhD students and Postdocs, and is headed by Frauke Liers and Alexander Martin. The group participates in many projects funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG), the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), the European Union, as well as by the industry.
