Visiting Scientist: Dr. Yves-Henri
Sanejouand
from the
Centre de Recherche Paul-Pascal, Pessac, France, visited LBNL. This
visit
was the first phase of a joint work towards the optimization of a
computer
program allowing for the fast calculation of the low-frequency normal
model
of biological macromolecules (see event on March 5th). |

Tutorial on High-Performance
Numerical Linear
Algebra: Fast
and Robust
Kernels for Scientific Computing (Jim Demmel, Jack Dongarra,and Osni
Marques).
This tutorial was organized during the NPACI All-Hands Meeting, San
Diego. |
|
2/26-3/8 |
Visiting Scientist: Dr. Jon Saenz
from The
department of
Applied Physics, University of the Basque Country, Spain. Dr. Saenz has
an interest on the functionality of some of the numerical tools under
the
ACTS Toolkit and use these tools inside his Python-based Toolkit for
the
analysis of climate data, PyClimate
(see seminar event on February 28). |
