In 2006, the U.S. Department of Energy via its Scientific Discovery
through Advanced
Computing (SciDAC) program awarded a five-year grant for
the establishment of the
Combinatorial Scientific Computing and Petascale Simulations Institute
(CSCAPES, pronounced "seascapes"). In operation from 2006 to 2012,
CSCAPES was a collaborative effort involving investigators
from three universities (Purdue, Ohio State and Colorado State) and
two national labs (Argonne and Sandia).
It sought to develop and disseminate combinatorial algorithms and software to support
petascale simulation in
computational science and engineering by focusing on three
major areas: load-balancing and parallelization toolkits, automatic
differentiation capabilities, and graph algorithms for advanced sparse
matrix computations. Training graduate students in CSC skills was a complimentary
component of the mission of CSCAPES. I served as one of the investigators
in CSCAPES.
The following selected publications provide
some overview of the research activities in CSCAPES.
