GPGPU-7

Jee is back from GPGPU-7, where he is presenting some new work on a hybrid CPU+GPU implementation of the kernel-independent fast multipole method, or FMM.

SIAM PP14

Piyush, Jee, and Rich are in Portland representing the lab at the SIAM Parallel Processing ’14 meeting. If you are also there, please drop by our various events! List below; resources (papers, slides) are here: [link].

VAPLS @ IEEE VIS’13

Rich just returned from the Workshop on Visualization and Analysis of Performance of Large-scale Software (VAPLS), co-located with IEEE Vis. The workshop featured a number of very compelling use of visualization to aid performance analysis, which in the long run will help make performance engineering more productive, accessible, and best of all, fun!

Rich’s talk materials appear here: [www]

Dagstuhl 13401

This week Rich has the great fortune of attending Dagstuhl Seminar 13401: Automatic Application Autotuning for HPC Architectures. He’ll be summarizing Jee’s work (with critical assists by Marat) on the energy archline model. For his slides and pointers to relevant materials, look here: [www]

ModSim’13

We’re in Seattle this week attending the US DOE Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Exascale Systems and Applications — “ModSim’13” [www]. A copy of Rich’s talk and pointers to supplemental materials is available here: hpcgarage.org/modsim13

Kent on exascale @ ICS’12

Kent is in Venice, Italy this week presenting our 3D FFT exascale projection paper at ICS’12 (Session 6).

Talk @ PPAM’11

I (Rich) am giving a talk today [PDF slides] at the International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics (PPAM), which is being held in the beautiful and historic town of Toru?, Poland. This is a great and well-organized meeting, and I look forward to the next meeting!

PPoPP’10 paper on GPU SpMV

Jee’s and Amik’s paper on autotuning sparse matrix-vector multiply for GPUs will appear at PPoPP 2010 in Bangalore, India. Great work, gang!
