Abstract

The goal was to identify challenges for library and algorithm developers from the needs of the SciDAC applications and to foster collaboration between the communities. Specific topics included the effective use of multicore processors (both algorithms and libraries) and the use of automatic tuning in libraries, but were not restricted to those topics.
