Regional Initiatives

Compsys followed or participated to the activities of LyonCalcul (http://lyoncalcul.univ-lyon1.fr/), a network to federate activities on high-performance computing in Lyon. In this context, and with the support of the Labex MILYON (http://milyon.universite-lyon.fr/), Compsys had organized in 2013 a thematic quarter on compilation (http://labexcompilation.ens-lyon.fr). A second thematic quarter on high performance computing (HPC) was organized in 2016, initiated by Violaine Louvet (Institute Camille Jordan), with the participation of the LIP teams Aric, Avalon, Compsys, and Roma. Among other events, it included a CNRS inter-disciplinary spring school (https://mathsinfohpc.sciencesconf.org) co-organized by Compsys, connecting mathematics (HPC numerical analysis) and computer science (polyhedral optimizations for HPC) that can be seen as a follow-up of the first polyhedral school organized by Compsys in 2013. See details in Section 10.1.

Alain Darte, Alexandre Isoard, and Tomofumi Yuki had also some exchanges with Violaine Louvet and Thierry Dumont on tiling code optimizations, advising (in an informal way) some of their students during their internships, for implementations on multicore machines and GPUs.
