Anticipated use of EverLab I • Message passing for inference • Graph colouring, data distribution • Power grids, traffic • Multinode communication (CDMA) • Large scale simulations • To validate theoretical results • Applicability to realistic systems
Anticipated use of EverLab II • 3. Solving (saddle-point) equations numerically • Multinode communication • Computational complexity, colouring • Structural glasses • 4. Monte-Carlo for sampling & optimisation
Software requirements • Basic programming languages • C, C++ • Fortran (?) • MPI
