At the 41st SPEEDUP Workshop, Joost van de Vondele gave a presentation on “Sparse matrix matrix multiplication for linear scaling DFT”. Joost is an Assistant Professor of Nanoscale Simulation at ETH Zurich and is working in the development of modeling tools for nanoscale systems and solar cells. Previously he was Oberassistent at the University of [...]
The 25 years SPEEDUP anniversary workshop presents and discusses the state-of-the-art in high-performance and parallel scientific computing with a focus on algorithms, applications, and software issues related to high-performance parallel computing. The scientific program consists of six 45-minute talks and a poster session. Invited Speakers are: Jack Dongarra (U of Tennessee) David Keyes (KAUST) Michael [...]
Today researchers working on the LHC experiment at CERN presented the observation of a new particle with a mass of 125 GeV. This is a very important step on the search for the standard model (SM) Higgs bosson in their data recorded up to June 2012. In this interview, Prof. Christoph Grab of ETH Zurich [...]
We congratulate Yves Ineichen (Paul Scherrer Institute/IBM Research Zurich), Andreas Adelmann (PSI), Costas Bekas (IBM Ruschlikon), Alessandro Curioni (IBM Ruschlikon) & Peter Arbenz (ETH Zurich) who have won the PRACE Award 2012 for their paper A Fast and Scalable Low Dimensional Solver for Charged Particle Dynamics in Large Particle Accelerators Yves and co-authors will receive the [...]
Small fish bend themselves into a ‘C’ shape before they flee from predators. Observations have suggested that this shape helps them to abruptly put the greatest distance possible between themselves and their predators. Petros Koumoutsakos, a professor at the Computational Science & Engineering Laboratory » at ETH Zurich, and two of his doctoral students, Mattia [...]
