Invitation to participate in SIAM CS&E Minisymposium

Hello all, I'm putting together a minisymposium at SIAM CS&E 2013 ( http://www.siam.org/meetings/cse13/ ) on Fast Numerical Code in High Level Languages. Having a speaker from your community would be a wonderful addition to our minisymposium. Unfortunately tight deadlines means I need an answer by Friday (Aug 10). Can any of you come? If you agree please provide a draft title of your presentation. We will then follow up with instructions for you to submit a 75-word abstract to the conference system. Unfortunately, SIAM does not provide travel support for minisymposium speakers. Title: Fast numerical computing with high-level languages Abstract: The scientific computing workflow includes many advanced tasks that require fast specialized tools. Researchers have responded through the use of high-level languages that hide many of the complexities in each of these tools. Unfortunately this leaves a dichotomy in the development of applications with high level code piping to the low-level tools with numerous practical problems. We present many successful approaches to mitigate this two level coding hierarchy. The approaches range from Just In Time (JIT) compiling, meta-programming tools, and better wrapping tools with domain specific knowledge. -- Andy -- Andy R.

Hi I would be potentially inclined to come. Is there any assistance for travel and accomodation available for speakers? Cheers, fijal

Hi Fijal, That would be great if you could come. Unfortunately the only support available is for students ( http://www.siam.org/prizes/sponsored/travel.php ). -- Andy -- Andy R. Terrel, Ph.D. Texas Advanced Computing Center University of Texas at Austin aterrel@tacc.utexas.edu

Hi I would like to come, but I'll absolutely not make commitments right now, 9 months in advance. Noone will pay me to do that and I'm incapable of saying if flying halfway across the world from South Africa in March is feasible or not. Cheers, fijal

Fwiw, Pycon US is also in March, 11 days after. Armin
