Yuhsiang Tsai and Yen-Chen Chen, two graduates from the National Taiwan University, are visiting SCC in July and August and working with Hartwig Anzt, research group lead Fixed-Point Methods for Numerics at Exascale, on parallel algorithms and deep learning for high performance computing.
During his master studies, Yen-Chen Chen accelerated Genome-Wide Association Studies and did pathology image classification for prostate cancer using deep learning techniques. Also Yuhsiang Tsai's master thesis combines two research topics: The Acceleration of Higher Order Singular Value Decomposition with GPUs for Large Tensors, and the development of an Efficient Contour Integral Based Eigensolver with Locking Technique for Pentacene Applications.
A heartfelt welcome to the SCC!
