by Adel Mhamdi 16 Feb '01

16 Feb '01

Liebe Freunde der Forschung, im Rahmen des SFB 540 wird Dr. Paul Hovland Mathematics and Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory hovland(a)mcs.anl.gov am 21.2. um 15:00 Uhr folgenden Vortrag halten, Application Services for Scientific Computing Abstract: Many business software vendors have developed, or announced plans to develop, mechanisms for using their software over the Internet. Such application services are attractive from a user standpoint because of their wide availability and from an administrator/developer standpoint because of increased maintainability. Recently, the trend toward application services has started to appear in the scientific computing community. We discuss some of the application services developed by the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory, including the Network Enabled Optimization System (NEOS) Server and the Automatic Differentiation of C (AdiC) Server, as well as preliminary work on web access to the Portable Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computing (PETSc). We also provide a brief survey of related work. Der Vortrag findet in unserem Seminarraum LPT R215 statt Alle SFB'er, aber auch alle weiteren Interessierten, sind herzlich eingeladen! Mit freundlichem Grüßen, Adel Mhamdi
