An overview of fast and robust communication-avoiding algorithms

In this talk I will discuss one of the main challenges in high performance computing: the increased cost of communication with respect to computation, where communication refers to data transferred either between processors or between different levels of memory hierarchy, including possibly NVMs (non-volatile memories).  I will overview novel communication-avoiding numerical methods and algorithms that reduce the communication to a minimum for operations that are at the heart of many calculations, in particular numerical linear algebra algorithms.  Those algorithms range from iterative methods (as used in numerical simulations) to low-rank matrix approximations for data analytics (based on LU/QR factorizations with column tournament pivoting).  I will also discuss the algorithm/architecture matching of those algorithms
