INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON
PARALLEL MATRIX ALGORITHMS AND APPLICATIONS
18-20 August 2000, Neuchatel, Switzerland
http://iiun.unine.ch/Research/matrix/seminars/pmaa.html
Organized in co-operation with the Society for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics (SIAM) Activity Group on Linear Algebra (SIAGLA) and
endorsed by the International Linear Algebra Society (ILAS).
This international workshop is aims to be a forum for the exchange of
ideas and competence for specialists in those areas of parallel
computing that are based on matrix algorithms. Emphasis will be on:
1. Implementation and performance issues on various types of parallel
systems.
2. Parallel algorithms for dense, structured and sparse matrices.
3. Algorithmic engineering & complexity (matrix algorithms based on
parallel models of computation such as pram, systolic arrays, etc.)
4. Applications with emphasis on parallel matrix computations
(applications from diverse fields such as fluid dynamics,
econometrics and financial optimization).
The keynote speakers are
o Ahmed Sameh (Purdue University, USA): Parallel Algorithms for
Solving Indefinite Systems.
o Anna Nagurney (University of Massachusetts, USA): Parallel
Computation of Financial Equilibria as Variational Inequalities.
There will be two days of tutorials before the workshop. A small fee
will be charged for attendance at tutorials:
o Yousef Saad, University of Minnesota, USA
o Steve Barnard, NASA Ames Research Center, USA
o Maurice Clint, Queens University of Belfast, UK
o Marcin Paprzycki, University of Southern Mississippi, USA
o Anna Nagurney, University of Massachusetts, USA
o Berc Rustem, Imperial College, UK
o Stavros Siokos, Salomon Smith Barney, UK
