U.S.-France (INRIA) Cooperative Research: Parallel Scientific Computation

该奖项将支持美国和法国科学家在伊利诺伊大学超级计算研究与发展中心（CSRD）和法国国家信息科学与自动化研究所（INRIA）正在进行的并行科学计算的合作研究。美国小组将由dr。David Kuck和Ahmed Sameh；在法国方面，这些项目将由J. Lenfant教授（INRIA- irisa）和A. Lichnewsky教授和W. Jalby教授领导，他们都来自INRIA/Paris。联合研究将集中在三个主题上：1。并行算法-密集矩阵计算-有限元和稀疏矩阵计算-组合优化方法体系结构。内存组织和层次结构。流水线处理器编译时优化-并行检测-内存层次优化-架构中的细粒度并行。这项研究将美国和法国两组杰出的研究人员联合起来科学计算。INRIA因其在计算机研究、自动化、数学和科学计算方面的专业知识而得到广泛认可；它提供了这些领域的基础研究与工业合作的良好结合。该奖项将允许在并行计算的及时和重要领域继续进行富有成效的合作。

This award will support ongoing collaborative research in parallel scientific computation between two groups of U.S. and French scientists, based at the University of Illinois Center for Supercomputing Research and Development (CSRD) and at the French National Institute for Information Science and Automation (INRIA). The U.S. group will be led by Drs. David Kuck and Ahmed Sameh; on the French side the projects will be led by Professor J. Lenfant, (INRIA-IRISA) and Professors A. Lichnewsky and W. Jalby, both at INRIA/Paris. The joint research will focus on three topics: 1. Parallel algorithms -Dense Matrix computations -Finite element and sparse matrix computations -Combinatorial optimization methods 2. Architectures -Memory organizations and hierarchies -Pipeline processors 3. Compile-time optimization -Parallel detection -Optimization for memory hierarchies -Fine grain parallelism in architectures This research joins two groups of outstanding U.S. and French researchers in scientific computation. INRIA is widely recognized for its concentration of expertise in computer research, automation, mathematics and scientific computing; it provides an excellent combination of fundamental research with industrial collaboration in these areas. This award will allow fruitful collaboration to continue in the timely and important area of parallel computing.
