Unlocking Euclidean Problems with Isotropic Initialization

Mikhail Skopenkov, Research Scientist, Computer Science

Oct 30, 12:00 - 13:00

B9 L2 R2325

The seminar introduces a novel, general approach for solving challenging constraint systems in Euclidean geometry problems by leveraging analogous, structure-preserving simplifications found in isotropic geometry to initialize and guide optimization algorithms.

Accelerating Branch-and-Bound Graph Algorithms with GPUs

Izzat El Hajj, Assistant Professor, Computer Science, American University of Beirut

Oct 30, 12:00 - 13:00

B9 L2 R2325

This talk presents multiple techniques that we have developed to load balance the search tree traversal on GPUs and mitigate the strain on memory capacity and bandwidth.
