National Initiatives

• EDF: Contract with EDF on improving performance and designing algorithms of iterative solvers on parallel machines with accelerators (Marc Baboulin). This contract enables to hire a postdoc researcher in October 2014.

  Participants : Marc Baboulin, Amal Khabou.

• Lal/In2P3/CERN The collaboration with CERN and LAL/IN2P3 + LRI focuses on LHCb and Atlas tracker code optimization. Those experiments must analyze results in realtime (10ms for analyzing particle trajectography). Early results show that these tracking algorithms can run in real time on SIMD multicore General Purpose Processor and on Xeon-Phi.

  Participant : Lionel Lacassagne.

• Inserm Contract with Paris X / INSERM U669 (Christophe Genolini) in the R++ project. R++ is an open source effort to modernize and increase performance of the R language used by scientists to develop statistical analysis tools. Funding for one research engineer has been received to support this project.

  Participant : Joël Falcou.

• followup of the ANR Cosinus project PetaQCD - Towards PetaFlops for Lattice Quantum ChromoDynamics Collaboration with Lal (Orsay), LPT (Orsay), LABRI (Bordeaux). About the design of architecture, software tools and algorithms for Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics.

  Participants : Christine Eisenbeis, Michael Kruse, Konstantin Petrov.
