New Semester and IACAT

Every new semester has its quickoff overhead. Besides trying to get back on track after travelling, and having meeting after meeting, now I am sitting at the inagural act of the Institute for Advanced Computing Applications and Technologies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A list and description of the three kicking off projects of the center is also available. These three themes are:

• Next-Generation Acceleration Systems for Advanced Science and Engineering Applications
• Multiscale Simulation in Science and Engineering
• Synergistic Research on Parallel Programming for Petascale Applications
