SICSA/NAIS Scottish Parallel Computational Mathematics Meeting (SPARC-M)

Friday 14th May 2010

Introduction

The purpose of the meeting is to explore and develop synergies between major Scottish research activities in parallel computational mathematics, e.g. NAIS, HPC-GAP, SCIEnce, Computational Statistics and Cognitive Neuroscience, Vector Processing Languages.

The meeting is open and interested participants are encouraged to attend. The meeting is joint between NAIS and SICSA and is funded by the SICSA Complex Systems Engineering (CSE) Theme.

This is the first of a series of Scottish Parallel Computational Mathematics Meetings.
