Group meetings 2011/12. Semester 1


  • 13 December 2011: Ramaseshan on "Reducing communication in sparse matrix computations".
  • 6 December 2011: Yuji Nakatsukasa on recent work with Nick on backward stability of iterations for computing the Polar decomposition.
  • 29 November 2011: Ramaseshan Kannan on "A new subspace iteration algorithm for generalized eigenvalue problems".
  • 22 November 2011: Leo Taslaman on triangularization of matrix polynomials.
  • 15 November 2011: Craig Lucas. Abstract: In this talk I will describe the journey we took in implementing Ruediger and Nick's Nearest Correlation Matrix algorithm efficiently in the NAG library. Along the way I'll highlight software and architecture optimizations and how it maps to multicore.
