ROSTAPACK is a new AGPL-licensed library for computation and fast approximation of robust stability measures for linear dynamical systems. This initial 1.0 release contains scalable methods intended for large-scale problems for approximating the complex or real stability radius, the H-infinity norm, and the spectral value set abscissa or radius (including the pseudospectral abscissa and radius). A future update will add state-of-the-art exact methods, intended for smaller-scale problems, for computing (not approximating) these measures.

To analyse this we must understand how such features appear in the data. Microlocal analysis provides a theoretical framework for studying this propagation of sharp, or high frequency, features in the image to the corresponding features in the data, and then the inversion of this process which occurs in the reconstruction. In particular, microlocal analysis can tell us in many cases what features of an object to be imaged are "visible" from a given data set, and whether more data will be required for faithful reconstruction.

Peña antonio.pena@bsc.es Date: May 24, 2018 Subject: PUMPS+AI Summer School, Spain, Jul 2018 On its ninth edition, the Programming and tUning Massively Parallel Systems summer school (PUMPS) premiers a brand-new "+AI" design, offering researchers and graduate students a unique opportunity to improve their skills with cutting-edge techniques and hands-on experience in developing and tuning applications for many-core processors with massively parallel computing resources like GPU accelerators, with more content devoted to artificial intelligence. The summer school is oriented towards advanced programming and optimizations, and thus previous experience in basic GPU programming will be considered in the selection process. We will also consider the current parallel applications, numerical methods, and AI techniques you are familiar with, and the specific optimizations you would like to discuss. Some of the topics that will be covered during the course are: AI / DEEP Learning; High-level programming models on GPUs: OmpSs, OpenACC; CUDA Algorithmic Optimization Strategies; Dealing with Sparse and Dynamic data; Efficiency in Large Data Traversal; Reducing Output Interference; Controlling Load Imbalance and Divergence; Acceleration of Collective Operations; Dynamic Parallelism and HyperQ; Debugging and Profiling CUDA Code; Multi-GPU and multi-node Execution; Architecture Trends and Implications. Participants will have access to a multi-node cluster of GPUs, and will learn to program and optimize applications in languages such as CUDA and OmpSs. Teaching Assistants will be available to help with your hands-on lab assignments. At poster and code clinic sessions you may show your current work and applications you are optimizing. NVIDIA will award the best poster presentation and course achievements.
