Taking place from August 8 to September 3rd, and covering the basics of the GPU architecture and CUDA programming, use of libraries such as CUSP and Thrust, and applications.
TADMAC stands for “Tecnologías de Alto Desempeño Aplicadas a la Modelación Matemática y Computacional”, meaning: High-performance technologies applied to mathematical and computational modeling. This is a new seminar series created to cover in greater depth the topics presented at the PASI in Valparaíso, and to apply them to the research topics of interest to the […]
David Ketcheson and Jefferey Stuart—both PASI 2011 participants who met while in Chile—have formed a team of Applied Mathematicians and Computer Scientists from KAUST, UC Davis, University of Washington, and the American University of Beirut, to work on the explicit solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations on GPUs. Specifically, the team has started work on […]
Screencasts We are proud to present full-length screencasts of the lectures held during the PASI in Valparaíso. These consist of video of the speaker’s computer screen (slides, animations, etc.), with the audio of the lecture room. Most of these videos captured the sound with the built-in microphone of the presenter’s laptop. Thanks to Anush Krishnan […]
The host institution, Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María (UTSFM), has announced local student support, to help fray accommodation costs in a local bed & breakfast, and lunches during the institute. This will help students from other cities in Chile to be able to participate in this unique educational event. The Center for Technological Innovation in […]
At this time, we are able to announce the applicants from Latin America…
We received 68 eligible applications for travel grants from students and postdocs from the US and Canada. This made the exercise of selecting the awardees for these travel grants epecially difficult, and unfortunately means that many highly qualified applicants will not receive a grant. We would like to extend to all the interested students who […]
Two graduate students who have recently been awarded an Nvidia fellowship will be co-sponsored by the company to attend PASI. They are Henry Cook, from University of California Berkeley, and Albert Sidelnik, from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Each of them will receive a 50% travel grant from Professor Barba’s NSF award, and an additional […]
