Algorithmic adaptations to use next-generation computers closer to their potential are underway throughout scientific computing. Instead of squeezing out flops – the traditional goal of algorithmic optimality, which served as a reasonable proxy for all associated...
Many people bandy about the notion of “parallelism,” saying such things as, “This optimization makes my application more parallel,” with only a hazy intuition about what they’re actually saying. Others cite Amdahl’s Law, which provides bounds on speedup due to...
Program: The Data Incubator is an intensive six-week fellowship that prepares masters, PhDs, and postdocs in STEM + social science fields seeking industry careers as data scientists. The program is supported by sponsorships from dozens of employers across multiple...
