The Second Minisymposium on
Novel Data Formats and Algorithms
for Dense Linear Algebra Computations

by
Fred Gustavson and Jerzy Wasniewski

Abstract: Recently, several novel data formats for matrices were introduced into the area of Dense Linear Algebra with the intent of producing new algorithms as well as improving its existing algorithms. Recursion, via the divide-and-conquer paradigm, introduced variable blocking to complement the standard fixed block algorithms. In particular, new data structures for dense linear algebra became an active research area. This Mini-Symposium will focus on both new data structures and/or new or existing algorithms for high performing dense linear algebra algorithms.

To be held at the

PPAM 2007 PARALLEL PROCESSING
and APPLIED MATHEMATICS
Gdansk, Poland
September 9-12, 2007
http://ppam.pcz.pl/

A limited number of contributed, 20 minute talks will be selected for this minisymposium. Extended abstracts no more than two pages should be sent before April 10, 2007. The text can be in Latex, Postscript, PDF or pure ASCII. The acceptance of this abstract will be sent no later than April 15, 2007.

After acceptance, the full papers according to the rules of the Springer LNCS and PPAM 2007 Conference no longer than 10 pages, in order to be published in the Springer LNCS proceedings, should be sent before May 25, 2007. These submitted papers will be read and evaluated by at least two reviewers.
