We meet WEDNESDAYS 11:10 - noon in Room 380 Soda Hall, Berkeley campus.
The coordinators are Profs. J. Demmel (demmel at cs.berkeley.edu), 
M. Gu (mgu at math.berkeley.edu), and B. N. Parlett (parlett at math.berkeley.edu). 
The program will be a mixture of research talks and tutorials.
The tutorials will provide a partial sequel to Math 221.

Title:   Re-design of High-level Matrix Algorithms for
         Multicore and Distributed Architectures 
Abstract: In this talk, we discuss how to re-design two
matrix algorithms for computing the polar decomposition and
Green's function.  These re-designed algorithms explicitly
exploit the BLAS and primitive matrix decomposition kernels
(such as DGEMM and QR) which are optimized for multicore and
distributed architectures.  The application of these matrix
algorithms to nano-structure simulation will also be
discussed.
