SEMINAR ACTIVITIES
COMPUTER SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM - Wednesday, February 9, 1983.
Dr. Jack J. Dongarra of Argonne National Laboratory
will speak on "Linear Algebra on Vector Computers".
TIME: 3:30 PM
ROOM: M&C 5158
ABSTRACT
In this talk we will examine common implementations
of linear algebra algorithms; such as matrix-vector
multiply, matrix-matrix multiply, and the solution of
linear equations. The different versions are exam-
ined for efficiency on a computer architecture which
uses vector processing and has pipelined instruction
execution. By using the advanced architectural
features of such machines, one can usually achieve
maximum performance, and tremendous improvements in
terms of execution speed can be seen over convention-
al computers.
Coffee and refreshments will be served at 3:00 PM.
Everyone is welcome.
