Announcement: CECAM Workshop on Solving Eigenpro ... (No replies)
Dear Psi-k Community,
We are pleased to announce the upcoming
"CECAM Workshop on Solving Eigenproblems for Electronic-Structure Theory"
Dates: November 15-18, 2022
Location: CECAM HQ in Lausanne, CH
Format: On-Site
Website and Program: https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/1128
Numerically solving (generalized) eigenvalue problems is one the fundamental steps in electronic-structure theory
at the density-functional theory (DFT) level, in which this step constitutes the dominant computational bottleneck
limiting both the time-to-solution and the addressable problem sizes. The upcoming deployment of (pre-)exascale
HPC systems promises to make larger, faster, and more energy-efficient DFT calculations possible. However, this
involves significant new challenges for the solution of eigenproblems. For instance, this requires to port existing
algorithms to novel architectures featuring hundreds of cores per nodes as well as multi-purpose accelerators such
as GPUs, FPGAs, or TPUs or to design new algorithms tailored to these architectures.
At this workshop, we aim at bringing together mathematicians, High-Performance-Computing (HPC) experts,
electronic-structure code developers, and hardware specialists to discuss, facilitate, and coordinate this
transition towards the era of first-principles exascale calculations. Applications for participation are now open at
https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/1128
Particularly relevant poster contributions are eligible for an upgrade to an invited talk.
Best wishes,
Volker Blum, Christian Carbogno, Andreas Marek, and Tobias Melson
