Roland earned his Ph. D. in Computer Science at Purdue University in 1967. He was an Assistant Professor at Cornell University, working summers at Argonne National Laboratory and Marathon Oil Company. He joined the Department of Mathematics at the University of Colorado in 1970, teaching at the Denver Campus and consulting at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). He received tenure in 1974. In 1980, Roland joined the National Bureau of Standards (NBS now NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Two years later, he transferred to the NBS laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. In 1985, he joined the Department of Mathematics at the University of Colorado, Denver, becoming the Director of the Computational Mathematics Group in 1988. Along with Paul Swarztrauber, Roland was one of the early pioneers of fast direct Poisson solvers using the methods of Fourier analysis and cyclic reduction (FACR), which resulted in the widely used software package FISHPACK for sequential, vector, and parallel processors. Roland retired for the first time in 1996 and spent two years sailing around the Caribbean with his wife, Linda Lindgren. After that adventure, he worked in Seattle for Lizard Tech, developing image processing software, and in McKinney, Texas, for several companies. He retired for the last time in 2008 and spent his final years in Boulder, where he became deeply involved in the Boulder Homeless Shelter and Earth's Table Community Garden. Roland was a good friend and colleague. He had an easy smile, quick wit, and a great sense humor. We will all miss him greatly.

Besides this fact, the QVI has become a standard tool for the modeling of various equilibrium-type scenarios in the natural sciences and includes, in particular, the generalized Nash equilibrium problem (GNEP). QVIs therefore have a wide range of applications in game theory, continuum mechanics, economics, transportation etc. The lectures will be given by - Jong-Shi Pang (University of Southern California, USA): Generalized Nash-Equilibrium Problems in Finite Dimensions - Carlos N.

Delbem Description: The financial market has employed real time computing systems to accelerate trading operations known as HFT (High Frequency Trading) systems. One of the major challenges of HFT systems is to guarantee predictability of the system execution time and low latency for the system response. Such features are fundamental to determine its success. Then use of reconfigurable hardware for data processing at package level is the state of the art for this type of systems. This approach eliminates the various layers of software that exists in traditional systems and allows both data preprocessing and decision-making algorithms to be implemented directly in hardware circuits using dedicated communication channels. This project aims to construct such HFT system based on FPGA device, including resources to access the financial market directly via FIX/FAST protocol and to interface with software processors for hardware configuration and monitoring. The research will be led jointly by Dr. Vanderlei Bonato. Requirements: Applicants should have PhD in Computer Science or related fields with experience in hardware development for FPGAs, hardware description languages, high level synthesis languages, design space exploration, and modeling and solving optimization problems. It is also desirable to have experience in developing interfaces for Gigabit Ethernet devices and DDR3 and DDR4 memories. The applicant must have got their PhD in the last 5 years. Application: Please send your application until June 4, 2019 to: Dr. Vanderlei Bonato ( [log in to unmask] ) indicating 'CEPID Postdoc - HFT' in the subject line.
