Labs participation in 2008 Summer workshops CTR Summer Program - July 7-August 4 • S. Domino, J. Hewson, D. Lignell (SNL) • V&V of Approximate Projection Methods • Combustion and Soot Formation UQ Workshop - July 25-26 • M. Eldred (SNL) • J. Red-Horse (SNL) • T. Wallstrom (LANL) • C. Tong (LLNL)
Educational aspects • Degree granting Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME) • ICME impact on education and research • Interdisciplinary • Outstanding math students exposed to physics and engineering, engaged in Uncertainty Quantification • appropriate talent for out of box thinking, emphasis on programming and covering statistics, discrete math and PDEs
New Courses • Hypersonics • The fundamental principals and equations related to hypersonic flight and high temperature gas dynamics, including chemical and thermal equilibrium and non-equilibrium, statistical thermodynamics, kinetic theory, transport phenomena, radiation, surface heating and scramjet engines. • Uncertainty Quantification and Probabilistic Methods. • Lectures will cover mathematical and statistical foundations of random variables and processes for uncertainty modeling. Introduction of the state-of-the-art uncertainty propagation schemes, such as advanced sampling techniques and stochastic Galerkin methods, is the major focus of this course.
Pervasive Parallelism Lab • Goal: Parallel Programming environment for 2010 • Parallelism for the masses: make parallel programming accessible to the average programmer • Parallel algorithms, development environments, and runtime systems that scale to 1000s of hardware threads • Concurrent software a core component of undergraduate CS education • PPL is a combination of • Leading Stanford researchers in applications, languages, systems software and computer architecture • Leading companies in computer systems and software • Compelling vision for creating and managing pervasive parallelism
Opportunities for Lab Scientists at Stanford • Advanced Graduate Classes Teaching • P. Miller (LLNL): Advanced Large Scale Programming • PhD Dissertation Reading Committees • Students will benefit from areas of long-standing expertise and real-world applications • Compete for sponsored joint research. e.g. SciDAC, AirForce
