Past

In this talk, we report on recent activities in the development of automatic differentiation tools for Matlab and CapeML, a common intermediate language for process control, and highlight some recent AD applications. Lastly, we show the potential for parallelisation created by AD and comment on the impact on scientific computing due to emerging multicore chips which are providing substantial thread-based parallelism in a "pizza box" form factor.

We consider the solution of sequences of linear systems by preconditioned iterative methods. Such systems arise, for example, in applications such as CFD and structural mechanics. In some cases it is important to avoid the recomputation of preconditioners for subsequent systems. We propose an algebraic strategy that replaces new preconditioners by old preconditioners with simple updates. Efficiency of the new strategy, which generalizes the approach of Benzi and Bertaccini, is demonstrated using numerical experiments.

This talk presents results of joint work with Jurjen Duintjer Tebbens.
