Argonne researchers release toolkit for solving large-scale optimization applications
Large-scale optimization problems arise in many applications, including nuclear reactor simulation, fluid dynamics, parameter estimation, and optimal control. Researchers seeking to solve such problems on high-performance architectures have faced numerous challenges, ranging from scattered support for parallel computation and lack of reuse of linear algebra software to the reality of working with large, often poorly structured legacy codes for specific applications...more info >

Formal Analysis of MPI-based Parallel Programs
Formal methods can play an important role in debugging and verifying MPI applications. Here, we describe existing techniques, including their pros and cons, and why they have value beyond MPI, addressing the general needs of future concurrency application developers who will inevitably use low-level concurrency APIs.more info >
