The 2015 Spring Simulation Multiconference will feature the 23rd High Performance Computing Symposium (HPC 2015), devoted to the impact of high performance computing and communications on computer simulations. Full information is available at the 23rd High Performance Computing Symposium (HPC 2015)
Abstract submissions are due on September 12, 2014, but are not compulsory. Full paper submissions are due on November 22, 2014. Continue reading
Our organization Computational Science and Engineering at TU Wien was selected for the Google Summer of Code 2014. Within our organization, a couple of great open source software projects hosted at TU Wien are reaching out to students all over the world for work on free scientific software over the summer. Application deadline for students is on March 21, 2014. The funding provided by Google for the students is again highly appreciated 🙂
This year I'm again mentoring project ideas for ViennaCL, which I'll describe briefly in the following: Continue reading
Toby St Clere Smithe, who I mentored during the Google Summer of Code 2013, released PyViennaCL 1.0.0 today. PyViennaCL provides the Python bindings for the ViennaCL linear algebra and numerical computation library for general purpose computations on massively parallel hardware such as graphics processing units (GPUs) and other heterogeneous systems. ViennaCL itself is a header-only C++ library, so these bindings make available to Python programmers ViennaCL’s fast OpenCL and CUDA algorithms, in a way that is idiomatic and compatible with the Python community’s most popular scientific packages, NumPy and SciPy.

I'm happy to announce the following position for a prospective PhD I'm looking forward to collaborating with:
The Institute for Microelectronics (TU Wien) is seeking a highly motivated PhD student to work on deterministic solution approaches for the Boltzmann Transport Equation for semiconductors. To strengthen free open source software in our field, the candidate is expected to contribute to our free open source simulator ViennaSHE and the underlying ecosystem of libraries such as ViennaCL or ViennaGrid. As one of the main application areas of ViennaSHE is the simulation of reliability issues in semiconductor devices, the candidate will also be involved in these activities, providing exposure to industrially relevant research.

Recently I was looking for useful graphs on recent parallel computing hardware for reuse in a presentation, but struggled to find any. While I know that colleagues have such graphs and data in use in their presentations, I couldn't find a convenient source on the net. So I ended up collecting all the data (again) and decided to make the outcome of my efforts available here. Continue reading
The 2014 Spring Simulation Multiconference will feature the 22nd High
Performance Computing Symposium (HPC 2014), devoted to the impact of
high performance computing and communications on computer simulations. As general chair I'm responsible for the symposium organization, which also includes the call for papers and the webpage. As they are now set up, check them out here: 22nd High Performance Computing Symposium (HPC 2014)

My former webpage, a custom-grown set of PHP scripts, was floating around in the web mostly unchanged since 2007 - time for a relaunch. Continue reading
