ABSTRACT
Combinatorial problems arise as crucial subproblems in many
computational simulations in science and engineering. Combinatorial
scientific computing (CSC) is a multi-disciplinary area in which such
problems are formulated and solved. The CSCAPES Institute has been
established with funding from the Office of Science of the U.S.
Department of Energy to solve CSC problems and thereby enable high
performance computing for breakthrough computational science. An
important research focus of CSCAPES is algorithms for partitioning and
load-balancing for parallel scientific computing, many of which have
been implemented in the Zoltan toolkit. We will also discuss sparse
matrix ordering and parallel graph coloring. Researchers from sciences
and engineering who wish to use high performance CSC software tools are
invited to interact with us.
