Poster at the NVIDIA exhibition booth in SC’11

January 4th, 2012 in Events.

ExaFMM was disseminated as an open-source code with a poster featured at the NVIDIA booth in the Supercomputing Conference SC11 in Seattle, 14–18 November. Building up to this event, this website was prepared and put on a public-facing server, developer documentation was prepared using Doxygen, and the Bitbucket repository was opened. In fact, an...

First ExaFMM paper accepted

October 20th, 2011 in Publications.

The first publication reporting our work towards advancing fast multipole methods (FMM) to be a prime algorithm for exascale systems has been accepted by the International Journal of High-Performance Computing Applications, IJHPCA. Our previous recent work showed scaling of an FMM on GPU clusters, with problem sizes in the order of... More
