CSC14

The Sixth SIAM Workshop on Combinatorial Scientific Computing took place on
July 21-23, 2014 at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, Lyon, France.

participants just after poster session The Sixth SIAM Workshop on Combinatorial Scientific Computing, CSC14, provided a forum for researchers from academia and industry interested in the interaction of combinatorial mathematics and algorithms with scientific computing to discuss current developments in research. CSC14 follows five earlier CSC workshops held in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011. The First SIAM Workshop on Combinatorial Scientific Computing (CSC04) was held in San Francisco in 2004; CSC05 was held in Toulouse, France in 2005; the CSC07 was held in Costa Mesa, CA; CSC09 was held in Seaside, CA; and CSC11 was held in Darmstadt, Germany. Each of these workshops was attended by close to a hundred participants, and featured about twenty-five plenary and selected talks.

cheerful view The CSC14 Workshop's focus was on combinatorial mathematics and algorithms in high performance computing, broadly interpreted. The workshop featured three invited talks, 27 contributed talks, and a poster session with eight poster presentations. All three invited talks were focused on two interesting fields of research specifically: randomized algorithms for numerical linear algebra and network analysis. The contributed talks and the posters targeted modeling, analysis, bisection, clustering, and partitioning of graphs, applied in the context of networks, sparse matrix factorizations, iterative solvers, fast multi-pole methods, automatic differentiation, high-performance computing, and linear programming.

The workshop was held at the premises of the LIP laboratory of ENS Lyon and was generously supported by the LABEX MILYON (ANR-10-LABX-0070, Université de Lyon, within the program ``Investissements d'Avenir'' ANR-11-IDEX-0007 operated by the French National Research Agency), and by SIAM.

A book of abstracts is edited and made available at HAL-Inria with the identification number hal-01054876. A local copy is available here.
