<\/a><\/p>\n Overview<\/b><\/p>\n The eigenvalue problem touches virtually every application of electronic structure theory to molecular or solid-state (materials) simulations. For small problems, traditional O(N3<\/sup>) eigenvalue solver libraries are often the most efficient solution to the eigenvalue problem, but for mid-to-very-large system sizes, several alternative solution strategies with lower scaling exponents eventually become the only viable options for practical simulations.<\/p>\n This workshop aims to bring together the broader community of researchers with an interest in scalable solvers for electronic structure theory for exchange of ideas and discussions – including, but not limited to:<\/p>\n In addition to the invited talks, the workshop will foster opportunities for in-depth interaction between all participants through a poster session early in the program (day 1) and through two dedicated \u201chands-on discussion\u201d sessions. In the hands-on discussions, participants will self-organize into smaller groups to address topics of mutual interest. While some of the topics may be suggested by the organizers, others are expected to emerge organically from among the participants, ranging from small groups focused on trying out a specific software package, to discussion groups for strategic needs in a certain area, to implementation of a specific improvement in a software or code package emerging from discussion at the workshop.<\/p>\n The workshop will be held at The Graduate Richmond<\/a> in the historic downtown area of Richmond, Virginia. Richmond is easy to reach by car, buses or trains, located about two hours south of Washington, DC.<\/p>\n Participants at the Byrd House at The Graduate Richmond<\/p>\n Thanks to all our speakers and participants for a fantastic conference!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Important Dates:<\/b><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Invited Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Program<\/strong><\/p>\n Talks (Invited):<\/strong>\u00a0 Invited talks will be 20 minutes long, followed by 5 minutes of discussion.<\/p>\n Posters (Contributed):<\/strong> A poster session will be held on the first evening of the workshop. Posters should have dimensions of 4 feet x 4 feet (122 cm x 122 cm) or less to fit on the provided poster boards.<\/p>\n Hands-On Discussions:<\/strong> Time will be reserved in the afternoons for Hands-On Discussions, providing dedicated time for the participants to split up into small groups to focus on topics of specific interest. Possible topics range from methodological improvements all the way to code development questions related to specific subgroups of participants and joint programming sessions.<\/p>\n Workshop booklet:<\/strong>\u00a0 A booklet summarizing the workshop schedule and abstracts of the talks and posters may be downloaded\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n All events will take place on the third floor of The Graduate Richmond<\/a>, and all times are given in local Richmond time (EDT, GMT-4).<\/p>\n Day 1 (Wed, August 15)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
