This NSF award will provide partial financial support for the Twentieth International Conference on Domain Decomposition Methods, to be held at the San Diego Supercomputer Center on the campus of the University of California at San Diego, in February 2011. Domain decomposition, in some form, is by far the most common paradigm for large-scale simulation on massively parallel distributed, hierarchical memory computers. This paradigm permeates almost all arenas of simulation, from such practical concerns as numerical climate modeling, modeling of complex biological molecules and biological processes, the design and testing of automobiles, aircraft and other structures, and the modeling of complex porous media flows, to more abstract scientific endeavors such as modeling black holes and searching for the origins of the universe. However, many users of domain decomposition do not avail themselves of the most sophisticated and efficient methods known. This has become more pronounced as the size of the large-scale scientific simulation community has grown with the availability of hardware in the past few years, particularly inside scientific communities without traditionally strong ties to the computational mathematics or computer science communities.The goal of this conference is to promote advances in domain decomposition methods by encouraging interdisciplinary technical interchange throughout the international computational science and engineering communities, and by taking advantage of conference siting, to attract to this important area many new U.S. scientists. It is strongly aligned with NSF's, and more generally, our national priorities to promote and advance fundamental interdisciplinary research in Computational Science and Engineering.NSF funding will make possible financial support for graduate students, post-docs, and other young researchers who otherwise might not be able to attend. The funding will also allow for increasing participation of women, African Americans, and Hispanic Americans from across the nation as well as from the diverse Southern California scientific community.

这一NSF奖项将为将于2011年2月在加州大学圣地亚哥分校校园内的圣地亚哥超级计算机中心举行的第二十届国际区域分解方法会议提供部分资金支持。到目前为止，在大规模并行分布式分层存储计算机上进行大规模模拟时，区域分解是最常见的范例。这种模式几乎渗透到模拟的所有领域，从数值气候模拟、复杂生物分子和生物过程的模拟、汽车、飞机和其他结构的设计和测试以及复杂多孔介质流动的模拟等实际问题，到更抽象的科学努力，如模拟黑洞和探索宇宙的起源。然而，许多域分解的用户并没有使用已知的最复杂和最有效的方法。随着过去几年大规模科学模拟社区的规模随着硬件的可用而增长，特别是在与计算数学或计算机科学社区传统上没有密切联系的科学社区内，这一点变得更加明显。这次会议的目标是通过鼓励国际计算科学和工程社区的跨学科技术交流，并通过利用会议地点的优势，促进区域分解方法的进步，以吸引许多新的美国科学家进入这一重要领域。它与NSF促进和推进计算科学和工程基础跨学科研究的国家优先事项紧密一致。NSF的资金将为研究生、博士后和其他可能无法参加的年轻研究人员提供财政支持。这笔资金还将允许来自全国各地的女性、非裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人以及来自多样化的南加州科学界的更多人参与。
