The basic mission of the MCS Division is increase scientific productivity in the 21st century by providing intellectual and technical leadership in the computing sciences -- computer science, applied computational mathematics, and computational science. Projects in the division range from algorithm development and software design in core areas such as optimization, to exploration of new technologies such as distributed (Grid) computing and bioinformatics, to numerical simulations in challenging areas such as climate modeling. http://www.mcs.anl.gov Argonne National Laboratory April 1, 2012|Ian Foster and Rachana Ananthakrishnan will be discussing GlobusOnline's available tools to simplify the sharing of distributed resources and data. The research community's need for progressively granular results has driven the development of hig http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/detail.php?id=1632 April 1, 2012| March 21, 2012|We developed a parallel O(NlogN) adaptive treecode for microstructural computations in 2D. The code is tested first with randomly generated data for accuracy and time complexity, and then in a boundary integral method for evolution of microstructure http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/detail.php?id=1622 March 21, 2012| February 29, 2012|TBA http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/detail.php?id=1630 February 29, 2012| February 22, 2012|We propose GROPHECY, a GPU performance projection framework that can estimate the performance benefit of GPU acceleration without actual GPU programming or hardware. Users need only skeletonize pieces of CPU code that are targets for GPU acceleration http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/detail.php?id=1628 February 22, 2012|
