Berkeley Lab Hosts Bay Area Scientific Computing Day
April 28, 2009
 |
This year marks the 10th anniversary of The Bay Area Scientific Computing Day (BASCD). For this occasion, Berkeley Lab, which organized the first BASCD in 2000, will host the event in the Building 66 Auditorium on Saturday, May 9, 2009. The organizers are Robert Crockett, a postdoc in the Applied Numerical Algorithms Group, and Scientific Computing Group Lead Esmond Ng, with administrative support from Rachel Lance and conference support from Yeen Mankin.
The BASCD is an annual informal gathering to encourage the interaction and collaboration of researchers in the fields of scientific computing and computational science and engineering from the San Francisco Bay Area. This event provides a great venue for early-career researchers to present their work to the local community, and for the Bay Area scientific community to exchange views on today’s multidisciplinary computational challenges and state-of-the-art developments.
Featured presentations will include two CRD researchers: Alvarez Fellow Kamesh Madduri of the Scientific Data Management Group will present “High Performance Computing for Massive Graph Analysis”; and Chris Rycroft, a postdoc in the Mathematics Group, will speak on “Real-Time Control of Mixing in Dense Granular Flow.”
Participation in BASCD is free, but registration is required. See the website for more information.
