Symposium Parallel Scientific Computation, April 1, 2004, Utrecht University, the Netherlands

Symposium on the occasion of the publication of Parallel Scientific Computation: A Structured Approach using BSP and MPI, by Rob H. Bisseling. Oxford University Press, March 2004.

This symposium presents recent trends in parallel computation and outlines their potential for the field of scientific computation. A common thread in the talks of the symposium is the bulk sychronous parallel (BSP) model, which provides a convenient theoretical framework for the design and analysis of parallel algorithms and which should naturally lead to well-structured parallel programs.

Everyone interested is welcome! Interested students are particularly encouraged to participate. Participation and consumptions are free.


Time and location

13.30-16.15h talks: Room 208, Minnaert building, Leuvenlaan 4, Utrecht.
16.30-18.00h drinks: Winter house botanical garden (`Serre'), Harvardlaan 10, Utrecht.

Schedule

How to get there

The Minnaert building and the botanical garden are located at the Uithof campus of Utrecht University. For the exact location, see the map. Parking is most convenient near the mathematics building (`wiskundegebouw') opposite the main entrance of the botanical gardens (`botanische tuinen'). If you are heading straight towards the reception, the free parking lot near the back entrance of the botanical garden at the Harvardlaan is also an option.

By public transportation from Utrecht Central Station: Bus 11 (`halte botanische tuin') comes closest. Bus 12 (`halte Kruytgebouw') is an alternative.
