Das Scientific Computing Center (SCC) und die KIT-Fakultät für Informatik laden zum Informatik-Sonderkolloquium ein.
Wir freuen uns sehr den ACM Turing-Award-Gewinner 2021, Prof. Jack Dongarra, bei uns am KIT begrüßen zu dürfen.
 

Abstract:
In this talk we will look at some of the changes that have occurred in high performance computing and the impact that is having on how our algorithms and software libraries are designed for our high-end computers. For nearly forty years, Moore’s Law produced exponential growth in hardware performance, and during that same time, most software failed to keep pace with these hardware advances. We will look at some of the algorithmic and software changes that have tried to keep up with the advances in the hardware.

Short CV Prof. Dongarra:
Jack Dongarra holds an appointment as University Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at the University of Tennessee and holds the title of Distinguished Research Staff at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
He specializes in numerical algorithms in linear algebra, parallel computing, the use of advanced-computer architectures, programming methodology, and tools for parallel computers. His research includes the development, testing and documentation of high quality mathematical software.
In 2021 Dongarra has been named an A.M. Turing Award winner by the Association for Computing Machinery.
