Advances in Numerical Linear Algebra: Celebrating the Centenary of the
Birth of James H. Wilkinson, May 29-30, 2019

This international workshop focuses on numerical linear algebra (NLA)
and will bring together researchers working in NLA to discuss current
developments, challenges in the light of evolving computer hardware,
and the changing needs of applications.

September 27, 2019 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of James
Hardy Wilkinson, who died in 1986. Wilkinson's legacy endures and one
of the aims of the workshop is to take stock of what has changed in
error analysis since Wilkinson's era and to discuss current challenges
and ways to approach them.

Subject: High Performance Data Analytics, France, Jun 2019


The 10th Gene Golub SIAM Summer School will take place in France, at a
conference center in Aussois, in the French Alps from June, 17 to
June, 28, 2019 and will be held in conjunction with the SIAM Activity
Group on Supercomputing. The intended audience is intermediate
graduate students (students with a Master's degree, Ph.D. students, or
equivalent). The focus of the school will be on large-scale data
analytics, which lies at the intersection of data analytics algorithms
and high performance computing. Students will be introduced to
problems in data analytics arising from both the machine learning and
the scientific computing communities. The school will include
perspectives from industry, such as Hodge Star Scientific Computing,
IBM, and NVIDIA, as well as from academic instructors, including

- Animashree Anandkumar (Caltech and Nvidia)
- Haesun Park (Georgia Institute of Technology)
- Tammy Kolda (Sandia National Laboratories)
- Jack Poulson (Hodge Star Scientific Computing)
- Costas Bekas (IBM)

All courses will have a strong computing component. The school will be
held in the spirit of Gene Golub, with lots of interactions between
the lecturers and the participants. A poster blitz and a poster
session will be organized for students who wish to present their own
work. The lectures will have associated labs that will allow the
students to get hands-on experience and have a closer interaction with
the lecturers. The school is being organized by Laura Grigori (Inria
and Sorbonne University), Matthew Knepley (University at Buffalo),
Olaf Schenk (Universita della Svizzera italiana), and Rich Vuduc
(Georgia Institute of Technology).

We invite graduate students from disciplines related to the topic of
the school (mathematical sciences, computing sciences, or a domain
science with a computational science and engineering focus), to
apply. Our mission is to increase diversity and we encourage students
from under-represented groups to apply. Attendance will be restricted
to about 40 well-qualified participants, who will be selected based on
the submitted application documents.

Applications are being accepted now through February 8, 2019. More
information is available on the G2S3 2019 website
