ScalaTrace: Scalable Compression and Timed Replay of Communication Traces

Date:Wednesday, April 15, 2009
Time:11:00am - 12:00pm
Location: LBNL Bldg. 50F, Room 1647

Speaker:
Frank Mueller
Department of Computer Science
North Carolina State University
   

Abstract:

    Characterizing the communication behavior of large-scale
    applications is a difficult and costly task due to code/system
    complexity and their long execution times. An alternative to running

Implementing Quantum Gates using the Heisenberg Ferromagnetic Quantum Spin Chain

Date:Monday, April 13, 2009
Time:10:30am - 11:30am
Location: LNBL Bldg. 50F, Room 1647

Speaker:
Jaideep Mulherkar
Department of Mathematics
University of California, Davis

Abstract:

Quantum spin systems are a natural model for quantum computation. I
will introduce the ferromagnetic Heisenberg XXZ quantum spin model
with kink boundary conditions and will talk about an interesting new
result regarding the presence of isolated eigenvalues in the low

Numerical Solutions of Eigenvalue Problems with Spectral Transformations

Date:Friday, April 10, 2009

Location: LNBL Bldg. 50B, Room 2222

Speaker:
Fei Xue
Department of Mathematics
University of Maryland

Abstract:
This talk concerns numerical algorithms for solving eigenvalue
problems, with emphasis on efficient iterative solution of the
sequence of linear systems that arise when inexact Rayleigh quotient

The Tenth Bay Area Scientific Computing Day (BASCD) will be held on Saturday May 9, 2009.

The Tenth Bay Area Scientific Computing Day will be sponsored by the

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), which organized the first

BASCD in 2000. LBNL will host the event on site on May 9, 2009. The

website for event information is http://crd.lbl.gov/SCG/BASCD2009/.

If you plan to attend, you need to visit the website and fill out a

short registration form. *Registration is required in order to visit LBNL*.
