Two major measures of the quality of high performance computations are numerical precision and efficiency.
Interval methods are a class of algorithms that are precise and even allow to obtain a guaranteed result. They also provide a useful and appropriate tool to describe the uncertainty of parameters, discretization inaccuracy and numerical errors. Nevertheless, they are usually time consuming and memory demanding.
Hence, all attempts to increase their efficiency are required and valuable: parallel implementations, use of new data structures, improved algorithms.
The Minisymposium is going to provide a forum for interval researchers to share their experiences and present possible improvements to the algorithms and successful applications.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- parallelization of interval methods, in particular on multi-core architectures, supercomputer or grids
- the use of novel data formats and data structures for interval computations
- global optimization/equations solving methods
- linear systems with interval parameters
- ordinary and partial differential equations
- practical applications of interval scientific computing algorithms
The Minisymposium is a part of the PPAM 2011 9th International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics.
As the PPAM 2011 Conference, the Minisymposium is going to take place in Torun, Poland in September 11-14, 2011.
All rules of the PPAM 2011 Conference apply, including the deadlines and required format of the abstracts/papers.
