Speedup High-Performance Computing Workshop, University of Basel, Feb 2012

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

We would like to draw your attention,  to the upcoming

40th SPEEDUP Workshop on High Performance Computing,
taking place on February 6/7, 2012, at University of Basel, Switzerland

The workshop is open for researchers, students and scientific and industrial partners. The intention  is to present and discuss the state-of-the-art in high-performance and parallel scientific computing. Presentations will focus on algorithms, applications, and software issues related to high-performance parallel computing. The focus of the workshop on Monday February 6 will be “Scalable Heterogeneous Computing and Programming Models for Computational Science”.

More information and a registration page for the Colloquium or Colloquium+Tutorial are available here »

The fees are:

  • Colloquium: CHF 50, free for students
  • Tutorial  : CHF 150, CHF 50 for students

The Colloquium Day, February 6, 2012

The following invited speakers will present and discuss the state-of-the-art in high-performance and parallel scientific computing (6 talks of 45 minutes each + poster session):

  • Prof. Jeff Vetter (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)
  • Dr.   Peter Tang (Intel)
  • Dr.   Brad Chamberlain (Cray)
  • Prof. Paolo Bientinesi (RWTH Aachen)
  • Prof. Dimitri Komatitsch (CNRS)
  • Prof. Bastien Chopard (University of Geneva)

To promote fast exchange of information in our community, a poster session with contributed posters will take place also on Feb 6. Please, encourage your collaborators to register with a poster title and upload an abstract for their posters, the deadline is January 28, 2012.

The Tutorial Day, Feb 7, 2012

On February 7 Speedup will organize a tutorial on Intel Threading Building Blocks taught by Hans Pabst (Intel).

 

CSCS User Day Poster Session – Videos on “Stellar Explosions” and “Modeling of Anion-Pi Interactions for Substituted Naphthalenediimide”

Monday, November 7th, 2011

We continue our series of poster presentations at CSCS User Day 2011 with Dr. Matthias Hempel, post-doc researcher at the University of Basel in the group of Professor Matthias Liebendoerfer  presenting his poster on “Stellar explosions, nuclear physics and multiple dimensions”.

Dr. Jiri Mareda is leading the group of Computational Chemistry in the Department of Organic Chemistry at the University of Geneva. In this video Jiri explains why he is attending the User Day and explains his poster on “Modeling of Anion-Pi Interactions for Substituted Naphthalenediimide: Structure and Function”.

Mini-Course on PDE-Constrained Optimization

Monday, March 7th, 2011

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Basel will host a one week mini-course on PDE-Constrained Optimization. The mini-course will be given Prof. Eldad Haber, University of British Columbia, Canada.

Mini-course on PDE-Constrained Optimization, University of Basel,
Switzerland; May 23-27, 2011

The course is designed to present practical solutions for optimization problems with partial differential equations as constraints. The course is made of lectures and exercises that use realistic problems and, for some cases, real data. Code will be written in Matlab.

There is no mini-course fee. Further information can be found at the website:

The course is organised by Marcus Grote and Olaf Schenk, University of Basel.

The mini-course is supported by the SNF Pro*Doc program on «NumPDE on Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing».
