ICASE/NASA Langley Workshop on Parallel Numerical Algorithms, 23-25 May 94 Purpose: To acquaint developers of high-performance applications codes based on partial differential equations or integral equations with the state of the art in core areas of algorithms and the parallel computational environment, and to engage representative experts from the algorithms community in discussions about their applicability. Rationale: A principal parallel challenge in large computational fluid dynamics, computational structural mechanics, and computational electricity and magnetism problems is the implicit solution process. Hence, these applications areas meet in a common algorithmic core. However, results on model problems are often not transferable. The workshop will promote more useful development and more rapid integration of parallel algorithms in high-performance NASA-related applications. ======================= TECHNICAL PROGRAM ============================== Keynote Address: Algorithmic Requirements in Aerospace Computations, Tom Zang, NASA Langley Linear System Solvers: dense methods -- James Demmel, Univ. of California-Berkeley sparse direct methods -- Mike Heath, Univ. of Illinois-Urbana sparse iterative methods -- Henk Van der Vorst, Univ. of Utrecht eigensolvers -- Dan Sorensen, Rice University Preconditioning Methods: approximate and incomplete factorizations -- Tony Chan, UCLA multilevel methods -- Steve McCormick, Univ. of Colorado-Boulder domain decomposition methods -- Barry Smith, UCLA Fast Transforms, Fast Summation, and Fast Operator Application: FFTs and generalized transforms -- Richard Pelz, Rutgers University fast multipole methods -- Jacob White, MIT multiresolution application of operators -- Ami Harten, Tel-Aviv University Tools and Environments: decomposition and mapping methods -- Alex Pothen, Old Dominion Univ./ICASE compiler and run-time environments -- Dennis Gannon, UIPUI Performance: performance metrics and benchmarking -- David Bailey, NASA Ames performance ``debugging'' -- Bill Gropp, Argonne National Laboratory ======================================================================== Venue: Hampton Radisson, Hampton, Virginia Attendance: Limited to 75.
